Sunset Shimmer
Sunset Shimmer: proof that redemption is always there for those who want it. Self-exiled from Equestria because she felt those around her could not appreciate her greatness, Sunset embarked on a four-year quest for vengeance--one that would allow her to build an army of ensorcelled high schoolers, invade Equestria, and harness the power of the Elements of Harmony for her own evil use. And if that means killing certain people who get in her way, so be it.
Remember this is in a cartoon about pastel horses and friendship.
In any case, Sunset failed, but was offered a chance at redemption by Twilight Sparkle: maybe all Sunset needed to do was to find some friends and give friendship a chance, instead of spurning it for power. Sunset accepted, and over time, not only found her true friends, but was able to use her power for good--saving the life and soul of the human version of Twilight.
Philosophical discussions of a cartoon aside, Sunset Shimmer took awhile to grow on the MLP fandom, but she got there, and now she's fairly popular. It's still fairly uncommon to see Sunset cosplayers at Anime Central, but I was glad to see that one showed up this year. Speaking as an artist, Sunset's hair is remarkably difficult to do; I can't imagine dyeing it.
