Sunset Shimmer is a fictional character who appears in the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony toyline and media franchise, beginning with My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (2013). She serves as the main antagonist of the first Equestria Girls film before becoming a main protagonist throughout the spin-off franchise. She is voiced by Rebecca Shoichet, who also provides the singing voice of Twilight Sparkle.

Sunset Shimmer is depicted as a former anthropomorphic unicorn from Equestria who becomes human after traveling through a magic mirror to the human world. Originally Princess Celestia's student before Twilight Sparkle, she abandons her studies in pursuit of power and crossed into the human world, where she becomes a student at Canterlot High School.
