During this time, on the first day of spring, Sunset Shimmer brought a baby girl into the world. She was given the name "Sunrise Shimmer” as her gentle appearance contrasted her mother's edgier persona. However, the joy of Sunrise's birth was overshadowed by the tragic loss of Sunset as the former unicorn’s life came to an end. The newborn baby was alone in this world as her mother was now gone, and her father had completely gone down the path of darkness. The Principal of Canterlot High School, Celestia, stepped up to be the guardian of Sunset’s baby girl, who has been under her care since.
