We all have seen how Sunset Shimmer's situation at Canterlot High arose. She was a student of Celestia's and then when she didn't get what she wanted as fast as she liked, she took a darker path, and then went through portal to the human reality of Equestria.

But what about before becoming Celestia's student? No one knows what happened before all that. Oh, many claim she was Celestia's daughter, and a whole band of other theories. But this little short one-shot will reveal the truth. The truth of Sunset Shimmer's past, and why she won't go back to Equestria.
