Description:
(this going with the headcanon that Alicorns were a race of ponies that died out in scarcity years ago.)
I think Opaline is a natural born Alicorn with very conservative ideas on what constitutes a Alicorn. So when presented with Sunny's weak alicorn form, she's sees it as a costume worn by a earth pony. A mockery of the "prestige" that is the Alicorn race.

G4 is canon, so that means if you do something super special you get a merit badge in the form of being transformed into an alicorn princess.
Opaline was a unicorn. And now she lives in her lonely castle, with the only other unicorn who didn't cast her out for being a mutated freak.
Alternatively, she's Izzy traveling back in time to prevent her dark future from coming to pass.
