What is sunset shimmer’s element in the first movie and second even third and fourth of equestrian girls
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'd say Forgiveness. From what we've seen, Sunset has learned the hard way that Forgiveness isn't always freely given. It's not always going to be:
Step 1: Admit what you did or said was wrong.
Step 2: Say you're sorry.
Step 3: Hug it out and everything's good.
She learned that she had to earn people's trust back. She learned that sometimes you have to EARN Forgiveness.
It's definitely a great lesson for kids to learn.
TOO BAD HASBRO WON'T BRING HER BACK ALREADY! GRRRR!!!!
Sorry, Sunset's my favorite character in the franchise and it's just irritating to see her not on screen with the main cast.

Beautiful work!! I love Sunset Shimmer, and this is perfect for her! I personally believe that she is the Element of Forgiveness, since she's very forgiving and she was forgiven for what she did. Plus, one of my friends, SunsetMajka626, made a perfectly good explaination as to why that is, and also why forgiveness can also be an element of harmony.
Have you ever done a pic of Sunny wearing this? I'll bet she'd look beautiful in it, even though she always is.

Thank you so much! I haven't made a vector of her with her Element yet, but I am definitely considering making one soon! I like the Element of Forgiveness idea ^u^

I personally think that if Sunset has an Element, it would be a Dual-Element; Two Elements in one.
Which Elements? Trust and Forgiveness.
Why? First off, look at her CutieMark: It's got a dual theme.
Second of all, Sunset had issues with Forgiveness in the second movie, and then there was the Anon-a-Miss incident in the comics, where everyone turned on Sunset and didn't Trust her when she said she was innocent.
I'm pretty sure Sunset's problems were also more personal; How could she Forgive herself for what she did to everyone at CHS? Could she Trust her new friends to stay by her side no matter what? Could she Trust herself?
Final point: What is Friendship without Trust or Forgiveness?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My personal headcanon is that Sunset is the Element of Harmony. Harmony, as you know is synomynous with balance and peace.
Why? Like you, I drew one observation from her cutie mark: it resembles a yinyang in the center.
We haven't seen a 7th Element in Equestria...could it be that Sunset represents the Tree of Harmony itself? Connecting and holding all the Elements together, providing strength for each one individuality but uniting them as well? Sunset also restores balance to the mane six. Before Twilight became an alicorn, there were 2 unicorns, 2 earth ponies, and 2 pegasi. Each race was equally represented. Sunset restores the racial balance so now there are 2 unicorns, 2 earth ponies, 2 pegasi, and 1 alicorn (I think 1 alicorn is still racially balanced, as alicorns contain traits of all three races equally).
Sunset also seems to restore balance/harmony to the group after arguments. She's the mediator. Doesn't every friend group need someone who is partial to all opinions and keeps things from getting out of hand? To me, Sunset always seems to seek the peace. Except for when her friends are threatened. Then no one should mess with her XD
The only reason I don't think Sunset is the Element of Forgiveness is because other characters in the series have faced the same reformation as Sunset. Luna could just as easily represent the Element of Forgiveness based on her own story arc, her own inability to forgive herself for past actions but learning how to do so with the help of her friends.
In the end, it's all just headcanon. I hope Hasbro will iron it out in the future, but for now it's just all theories.

Wow, pretty good theory you've got there.
One TEENY TINY problem with that....or two...
First, her CutieMark does have a kind of YinYang theme to it, however it completely lacks a major detail; The Dots, which symbolize the true Balance between the two. Light holds Darkness and Darkness holds Light. While some form of balance is undoubtedly apart of Sunset's nature, we can't really use YinYang as the example.
Second...How could Sunset be the Element/Tree of Harmony itself? If anyone is the true Bringer of Harmony, that would have to be Twilight. Think about it: The Element of Magic looks just like Twilight's CutieMark. I highly doubt that's a happy coincidence. Going along this line of thought, Twilight's true talent ISN'T magic, not totally. From a theory I'd read on FimFiction.Net, it's more likely that Twilight's talent is in spreading Harmony and Friendship.
You are right that Sunset appears to be the mediator of the Human 5, keeping the peace and holding the group together...but again, like I said before...What's Friendship without Trust and Forgiveness?
Trust and Forgiveness hold Friendship together. Trust is a major foundation for Friendship, and if we can't Forgive each other for the bad things we say/do, than Friendship falls apart.
Princess Luna can't be the Element of Forgiveness, due to the fact that she and Celestia lost their connection to the Elements because of the whole 'Nightmare Moon' incident. While it's a good possibility that she COULD HAVE been the Bearer of Forgiveness, it can't happen due to the aforementioned incident.
Trixie Lulamoon...if she had an Element, it would more than likely be Humility, not Forgiveness.
Discord...he's a being of Chaos. His very nature is the opposite of Harmony.
Have I missed anything? I probably did...

The only thing I could say about the cutie mark is that it's already pretty detailed as it is, one of the more complicated cutie mark designs. Adding the dots would have added to the complexity even more. I think the dots could be replaced by the points that cut into each side.
Like I said, it's just my take. There is no 7th element shard or actual gem, so that leaves the Tree. Unless, of course, the Tree can spontaneously produce more gems, which doesn't make any sense. Twilight's cutie mark has a double, maybe even triple meaning depending on how you look at it. Yes, it does relate to the fact that her actual talent is performing high magical arts, as I believe Spike stated in Boast Busters. It also represents Twilight's role as the Element of Magic, which is different from Harmony itself. Magic does play a major role in their world don't really see how magic relates to real life friendships other than the fact that it's tying into the title of the show. Her cutie mark can also represent her role as a leader, as some people suggest that Twilight is the large pink star and her 5 friends are the smaller white stars. I see problems with that last theory, as Spike and Sunset aren't involved in it. Though it may just represent Element Bearers. 6 Elements, 6 stars. That then would mean there is no 7th Element to begin with.
I never said that trust and forgiveness can be taken out of a friendship, but both trust and forgiveness do contribute to being able to maintain harmony amongst a group. Trusting that each member is telling what they perceive to be the truth allows the mediator to offer solutions and extra view points as well as stopping the mediator from accusing the other side wrongfully of foul play. Forgiveness also allows the mediator to not hold grudges for past wrongs/arguments and allow them to fairly listen to both sides of the argument. The mediator is unbiased. That's the whole point 
I know Celestia and Luna no longer have connection to the Elements. But I'm saying that if such an Element as Forgiveness was to find a proper bearer, Luna would be just as likely a canidate.
Trixie, don't even mention her having an Element. She isn't a recurring character (2 episodes does not give her a constant presence in the series). And she is still far from reformed. She is shown to be the bearer of the Element of Humility in the AU presented in the IDW comics, but the comics aren't canon to the show (the writers of the show episodes are not even allowed to read the comics), and it was an alternate AU. I doubt Derpy would ever be the Element of Knowledge or the Flim Flam brothers the Elements of Fairness, or Chrysalis the Element of Love. i62.tinypic.com/5s94x.jpg
But the point of the series is to be an AU. If Sunset really was the Element of Trust, then that wouldn't be her Element in that alternate universe. She would be the Element of Distrust, or rather not an Element at all.
Discord, yeah. He could never be an Element bearer.

This conversation has gotten intense.
There's no saying that there AREN'T more Elements; The only Elements used are the Six. Really, how could just those six Elements be what holds Equestria, and thus Friendships, together?
No, there are other virtues to consider, that are just as important as the Six. Tree of Harmony. Trees grow and bear fruit...Maybe the Tree did grow other Elements at some point. Higher Elements. Lesser Elements. Varying degrees of importance. Who knows?
Yeah, Trixie needs more screen-time for us to have a better understanding of her character. We can't really slap her with an Element otherwise.
Hey, since the IDW comics aren't canon to the show, than whether or not Sunset is the Bearer of the Element of Trust/Forgiveness is still up for debate.

I enjoy a bit of friendly debate ^u^
I agree that there is a lot we don't know about how the Tree works, but the birth of a new Element would be quite a momentous occassion, considering that for more than 1000 years (maybe even upwards of 2000 years) there have only been six elements. The Elements seemed to be buried within the trunk of the Tree itself rather than growing from the branches as fruit in our world does. But heck, this is a magical Harmony Tree. Who knows?
And true. We won't know what Sunset's Element is (if she truly is an Element bearer- I wholly think she is but some people still debate that) until Hasbro themselves reveal it in an episode or movie.

My thoughts exactly!
I truly believe/hope that there are other Elements. And even if Hasbro doesn't reveal more Elements, we can still dream.

Whoops, you seem to have forgotten to credit MillennialDan with the original vector. You really should put him in the description since it's pretty obvious that's where you downloaded this vector from.

Actually, I referenced it, I didn't use his. But I can credit him for the design as well.

I went ahead and took the liberty of creating a side-by-side comparison. For only having referenced it, the only noteworthy difference is that you took off the shines. Otherwise, it's the same colors, same shape, same gradients, same overlapping lines.
If by "referenced" you mean "traced" then I can consent to that. Otherwise, the similarity between yours and his are more than uncanny.
Ordinarily I wouldn't get all uppity about this sorta thing, but MD's a good friend of mine, and he put a lot of work into that vector, so I get a bit defensive for him.
Thanks for adding him to the credits, just be a little more honest, ya?

That is what referencing means in vectoring terms...?
For example, you would say that a vector of Twilight was "referenced" from this episode.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. I guess I'm just a bit out of the scene, I thought that the term was "used", and "referenced" was kinda like "inspired by". My bad dawg.
