Sunburst is a mild-mannered, studious pony with a knowledge for magic spells rivaling that of Twilight Sparkle. When first introduced, his reunion with Starlight is awkward due to him wishing to keep his dropping out of magic school a secret. He later admits that he has much self-loathing and regret for his lack of magical ability. After helping restore the Crystal Heart, he becomes more confident in himself Like Twilight, Sunburst tends to get excited over historical artifacts and ancient spells, and he is a big fan of Star Swirl the Bearded. He also has a fondness for stage magic, knowledge of geology, and is fluent in Old Ponish. Also like Twilight, he tends to get wrapped up in his studies, to the point of barely noticing what's going on around him (such as being unaware that the Crystal Empire was being engulfed by a blizzard). Sunburst is usually even-tempered, rarely getting angry at others, but he gets extremely frustrated by his mother's constant attempts to plan out his future, to the point of exploding in anger at her over it. In A Trivial Pursuit, he is shown to be very competitive, willing to get Twilight disqualified if it means preserving his record of right answers in the Trivia Trot contest. Though he does later apologize to Twilight after she figures out what he's trying to do. In A Horse Shoe In, he admits that he'd always thought he would one day work at a school, leading him to accept the vice-principal position at the School of Friendship.
