Days of My Life Episode 4 Casting Call
riverspirit22 for Radiance
Radiance is Sunset Shimmer's mother. She appears in Sunset's flashback in Episode 4. Originally Radiance was very excited about having a foal, although this changed when Sunset was born and she was a unicorn. Radiance is quite a traditional and uptight pony - she dislikes traditions being broken and due to this, she reprimands Sunset whenever she uses magic to complete chores or tasks. She frequently tells Sunset Shimmer to hide her magical talent, and does not originally approve of Sunset going to Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, although she begrudgingly allows her to go. She has quite a snooty/snobbish tone to her voice.
Radiance (in offence): Well of course my foal is going to help out in the community! Just watch, my foal will be the greatest earth pony ever born! If I have a colt, he’ll be the strongest stallion here, and if I have a filly, she’ll grow up to be a farmhand’s loyal wife!
Radiance (begrudgingly): Alright, fine! You can take her to Canterlot so she can try for that school.
Radiance (in disbelief and shock): Oh but...but she’s a unicorn!
