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?

I decided to join the trend

For best Misc. species I would have put Smolder but I couldn’t find her in any list.

How many ⭐️ will you get?

(They/Them)

I only know that they're an alicorn, I have no idea what my thoughts were when I drew them. So I need help deciding on a name and some other stuff. Maybe what they're the royalty of, too.

I would like some ideas for a good quality/strength and a bad quality/weakness.

Likes and Dislikes.

And a Talent, Passion or core value

Feel free to give one or more ideas on any of these.

New spin on the grid, inspired by u/Applehelpme92

Decided to remove the overrated part because idk, it didn't fit.

I will share the link in the comments, I DON'T KNOW if it will work because I made this grid with the original grid as a base, but let's see.

I know it's a little further into the month but I wanted to get this done for the wonderful tradition every year! I hope you enjoy it!

Standees and Keychains for these will be sold this upcoming weekend!
