personally,

earth pony : coco pommel

unicorn : Fleur de Lis

pegasus : angel wings

I don't see these two paired together, which is a shame! There's a lot of narrative potential for these two that could have been explored in the show.

Both are absolute knowledge hoarders, studying for the sake of studying and finding great fascination in a wide array of topics. Moondancer, with sciences, magic, history, economics, and pottery. Sunburst, with practical magic, artifacts, ancient history, Old Ponish language, and even geology.

Both are pretty socially awkwardly nerds that have history with a powerful unicorn friend. In Sunburst's case, him getting his cutie mark is what led Starlight down her whole downward spiral. Moondancer would experience her own downward spiral with Twilight's absence, as seen in the amazing "Amending Fences".

Sunburst has the baggage of essentially being a college dropout that worked with his limitations and became an important wizard in his own right.

Moondancer has the baggage of neglecting herself, her self care, her social life, due to feeling unwanted after putting herself out there socially finally. Her entire breakdown in her debut episode exudes years of that self-loathing and isolation.

I feel that, in some way, these two would emphasize with one another in a way foreign to the average pony, and they'd understand each other beyond social awkwardness and develop some pretty amazing chemistry.

A possible initial interaction. Bumping into each other by chance in a library, awkwardly chatting at first, then finding common interest in something totally innocuous. Like both of them preferring to use a bookmark over folding a page to save their place in a good book. That'd be a pretty cute dynamic, borrowing a book together and using a bookmark to communicate. Just one hypothetical interaction, of course.

How they'd interact can vary drastically depending on when in the timeline they'd meet. Moods and mindsets can be a very thought provoking thing. But once a bond is established, they could potentially be academic, magical colleagues, friends, partners even! Challenging themselves and each other to be their best versions. And maybe something beyond that between them.

I just think that'd be nice. I just like these two nerds way too much. Total missed opportunity.

What are your thoughts?

Sunset Shimmer and Sci-Twi were hired to babysit an unruly child while his parents go out for the evening. The boy gives the girls a hard time and starts to make a big mess in the living room as the girls chase him. Eventually, they managed to claim him down and send him to bed. But, what about the mess he made. The parents will be home in 20 minutes. They need to get the room cleaned before the parents return. They could just use their magic geodes to tidy it back up quickly, but they both realize, they forgot them at home which means they'll have to do it the human way, with their hands.

They don't have magic like unicorns. And they are sooo cute when they make a mess.
