Children who were the students of Celestia were taken from their families at the age of eight, to enter the Academy. Some say that’s where it all began, when she was a child. That’s when Sunset Shimmer saw eternity. As a novice, she was taken for initiation. She stood in front of the Mirror. It’s a gap in the fabric of reality through which could be seen the whole of the universes. We stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of magic, just a child. Some would be inspired. Some would run away. And some would go mad.

I apologize for tooting my own horn about this, but I prefer my own theory: that the red-haired aristocratic wizard-adventurer who traveled into another world, stole an ancient magical artifact, and transformed into a terrifying demon is the reincarnation of… a red-haired aristocratic wizard-adventurer who traveled into another world, stole an ancient magical artifact, and transformed into a terrifying demon.
Sunset Shimmer is the master

It kind of does, doesn’t it. Maybe showing off the interdimensional portal to your over-eager student wasn’t the best idea.
