How/why did you choose your persona?

I love TapDancer. You picked a great pony!

Aww, thank you.

I hardly remember when I first came up with Sunset but I was still living at home and had recently rediscovered my ponies and that there was a community on line.  This was back when the Internet was this supper cool thing that I could only access through my mother's work computer while she was at lunch.  So in my mid to late teens 1996-99?  Anyway, I wanted a white unicorn cause those are my favorite and she had to have red hair because I have red hair.  She was largely inspired by Moondancer in coloring.  I played with a couple of different names before settling on Sunset.  Little known fact, she has a cat named Midnight.
