I definitely agree with Sour Sweet and Sugarcoat who has their qualities/quirks to oppose those of Flutters and AJ while the others is hard to interpret on their views that clashes with the WonderCheese... Considering that Dank Dance Magic had been released since last year, I can safely say that Indigo is probably the opposite to Rainbow despite being too similar from how she wasn't around to help her friends for the fundraiser as she was on vacation. Another thing I noticed about her was during the FG was when Sugarcoat gotten captured by the plant monster alongside Sunset Shimmer, the former actually left her teammate "hanging" and becomes more focused onto winning the race. It reminded me of my favorite S4 episode "Rainbow Falls" when Rainbow herself wanted to ditch Team Ponyville to be with the Wonderbolts so she has a chance to win the tryouts. But yeah, there's one thing to point out upon my favorite 'Bolt.^^ Sunny and Lemon are the only other two which just feels confusing to have them oppose Rarity and Ponka. But with Sunny, oh boy...the girl just has nothing to have her fleshed out. She had gotten extra dialogue but it's barely something to make her stand out. Lemon kinda is the same sadly... The latter had potential to squeeze out more of her personality aka being a metalhead but I guess the writers didn't know on how to handle them or the five in general, Sci-Twi gets a pass because she's obviously the "mane" character.
If I were to write the Shadow 5 and their personalities then surely I would do this...
1) Sour Sweet: More or less the same personality yet she's not really bi-polar, she just has anger issues and tends to be sarcastic. She's mostly on her sour side whenever she doesn't get along with Indigo (or Lemon).
2) Sugarcoat: Not much changes as I liked on how she is in the movie and special, I would probably say she's the smartest of the five (or just as smart as Sci-Twi)
3) Sunny Flare: I'm adopting the whole "inventor" shtick because of her "pipboy" and it would benefit her as maybe she can be more fleshed out then being an obvious Rarity clone. Still I would say the only common trait she has with Rarity is being creative as both girls can think of a design or something.
4) Indigo Zap: Personally, I would want her to be less like Rainbow and Lightning so I felt maybe I can make her more humble/modest yet that probably wouldn't excuse her competitiveness in the movie. I also think that knowing Rainbow is usually the brave one and confident, I would like to portray Indigo as being easily scared/timid but sometimes gets pressured. Maybe she's not as confident due to pressure and probably her parents is the opposite of Rainbow's? maybe she likes winning so she can get their approval? Other than that, I know Dance Magic didn't have her around so I supposed she wouldn't be a good dancer so it would've been a good opportunity to make that happen as it's probably a quirk/comic relief material as Rainbow can dance but nope...she's placed under the bus aka not making her appear for stupid reasons. I personally wish that special would be around an hour-length like the previous two specials because I would like the story to be more expanded despite of its plot being simple.:/ Have Indigo be squeezed in there but as a bad dancer and probably Rarity would be the first to help her as a small "returning the favor" as the former did helped her in FG.XP
5) Lemon Zest: I'm so torn on how to portray her...;-; I would definitely go along with her being the comic relief of the group aka she's loud, obnoxious and isn't afraid to speak her mind just to annoy her friends especially in stories I've read about her. But knowing her personality/extra dialogue in Dance Magic, she just doesn't seem to be spazzy like Pinkie and just goes along with her group with laughing along to Rarity's expense or is probably not sunshine and smiles until the end. I do like her introduction of her rocking out to her songs yet maybe in a sense, she's probably alot laid back. had she made more appearances or have her personality fleshed out more than surely Star Butterfly comes to mind. Other than that, I wouldn't mind if Lemon was laid back much like Sandlebar, her easy-going nature can be a good balance and set her apart from Pinkie. Another thing, she and Indigo can have their role reversals as the latter can be the spazz/comic relief.
Overall, I do wish the writers had better ways to make them return instead of dumping them into a 22-minute special and portraying them as antagonists after what happened at the FG.:/ This put a bad impression and I would've love it more if they actually apologized to Sci-Twi or hang out with her.:/ But hey there's fanfics for that... All in all, sorry for a long essay yet I just enjoy writing on these what-ifs of the girls that I grown to love from the last few years.

Lemon Zest is fun-loving, but she doesn't invite other people into her fun. She either shuts herself off from the world and just rampages around like an air-guitaring tazmanian devil, or she forces it on others in a way that's not welcome (at least turn down the volume!)
I'd say out of all of them she is the nicest, but she's also almost completely unaware of anything outside herself.

human world twilight sparkle is referred to as Sci-Twi and Sunset's official name for the transformation is Daydream Shimmer

No doubt, Indigo Zap was easy to match up before the movie came out. But it was good that you identify who to match with who. More on Sunny Flare would be nice.

Yeah, I'm thinking they didn't wanna use Lightning exactly so they just changed the color scheme. and I wanna know more about Sunny as well.

Lemon Zest to mean seems to care more about herself having fun over getting others to have fun. Her headphones show her absorbed in herself.
In other words, she's the kind of person who would prank Fluttershy because Lemon wanted a laugh even at Fluttershy's expense.
