Solving Daybreaker

Ah, Daybreaker. Remember her? Celestia's supposed Nightmare Moon, smokin' hot in more ways than one, blew all of our minds for better or for worse when she cropped up during "A Royal Problem"?

Well, anyway, when she first debuted, I remember seeing a lot of debates–and maybe they're still going, I dunno–over whether she was a real possibility that Celestia could turn into (but won't because she's better than that), or just a part of Starlight's nightmare during that episode.

My answer? She's both.

I think Celestia's always faced that temptation of just cutting loose and doing whatever the flip she wants. But the appearance and Daybreaker moniker I think were part of Starlight's imagination. So perhaps Daybreaker as we know her wouldn't really exist, but the general concept might. But won't, because again, Celestia's too good to ultimately let herself go like that.

I support this theory.

I can get behind this.
