Reading the last paragraph aboiut kirin heritage...
Twilight once literally changed colors when she lost her patience when dealing with Pinkie Pie. She even got a flaming mane!

I love the idea of Sunset Shimmer having Kirin ancestry! I wish they did that in the show. Of course that would mean actually USING her in the show and we can't have that NOOOO

I love the idea of Sunset having kirin ancestry! Never in a million years would have thought of it myself, but it really fits her!

Some people actually stand like that. I don't know how, but they do.

Oo! I have a question! I just noticed this on some of your pieces, and have to ask, why do you give them split hooves? In some of you art (But not all I've noticed) Some of your horses (Pony's?) have the split hooves, is there a reason for this? I've also noticed that these pony's tend to look a bit different then the others, like applejack or rainbow dash, so is it something with their heritage?.. I know this is weird, but this has me really curious.

It's almost always the unicorns I draw with cloven hooves. In traditional european depictions of unicorns, they are very definitely NOT just horses with spike on their head. I think the most consistent description I've heard is "the head of a horse, the hooves of a deer, the tail of a lion, and the beard of a goat." The body is described as being either horse like or deer like, depending. Medieval tapestries and illuminated manuscripts usually show unicorns with cloven hooves and a long tail. The official coat of arms of the UK has a traditional unicorn on it, actually. As far as I can tell, the "white horse with a horn" thing is fairly modern. It might be partially because of some depictions of unicorns in early live action/silent films, where the easiest way to have a unicorn in you movie was to stick a prosthetic on a very patient horse. Earlier animated movies like The Last Unicorn sometimes stick to the classic version. That's a good example, actually. Google The Last unicorn or look up some clips from the movie on youtube to get a good idea of the concept.

wow...I've seen the last unicorn so many times as a child and even recently and I've never noticed the hooves and such... But other then that, that's really interesting, I've never heard that description for a unicorn before...Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

I never thought of Sunset being part Kirin but that makes a lot of sense to me.

So would Sunburst have the same kind of kirin ancestry expressed in his appearance? (Particularly considering a lot of people speculate he's the brother/cousin/some close relation of Sunset).

I'm not sure. I kinda like the brother-cousin angle, but I don't know if I want to roll with it for a personal headcanon or not. If I did go for the cousin angle, maybe Sunset's side of the family has a kirin in it and Sunburst's doesn't.

If I do a really glowy alicorn version she could be called Beacon Horse

I never read the comics so probably not. Hippogriffs and seaponies are definitely on the list though.

To be clear -- does Sunset only have some kirin heritage in the family tree, or is she actually half-kirin?

TurnipStewdios In reply to FrustratedInExcelsis [2020-02-22 20:45:51 +0000 UTC]
I hadn't actually decided. I think I'd make it fairly recent though. Either half or a quarter.

Between the third and fourth Sunset she crosses the Bishonen Line.
Part Kirin? Neat!

The fact that you didn't have her become an Alicorn makes me sad. She's so deserving of it.

Why doesn't anyone read the description? I'm getting there. There will be a part two.

Dang right she deserves to be an Alicorn! She's probably one of my favorite characters in the MLP franchise (even though I frankly feel like relegating her to the high-school AU was somewhat wasted potential). Also, her being of Kirin ancestry (I would reckon one of her grandparents, or maybe even one of her parents) is a really great idea! Shame I'm locked into certain ideas for where Sunset came from in my headcanons and AUs, but there could be room to squeeze that in somewhere...

I like to think that Twilight also has kirin blood, just much more distant than Sunset. She does burst into fire when angry though.
