This picture would make me imagine these Starlights as a separate species of pony, so let me describe some things about them to you:
 
The Starlight Glimmer, or Equus equestrianensis unicornis glimmeria, is a very social and orderly creature, preferring to gather in herds of equally-regulated size and behaviour.
 
Starlight-ponies may be cute to human eyes, but they are fussy and organised, as they tend to expect everything to be of equal, orderly amounts, and for everything that anyone has to be shared to others. Publicly they do share with each other, but they would secretly hoard some things for themselves.
 
Every herd of Starlights has one leader and her deputy, who manages the herd if the leader is unavailable. After several months, the leader and the deputy will be transferred to other “jobs”, and every Starlight-pony elects another leader and deputy to manage them for the next few months. Likewise, every “job” in a Starlight herd, from workers, to soldiers, to leaders and deputies, is temporary, lasting for several months, after which every Starlight will be transferred to another job at a random or cyclical basis.
 
For the occasional Starlight with “unusual” powers (whether born with those abilities or caught trying to train herself to use tose abilities), who does not fit into the herd’s physical standards, or who dares repeatedly disobey the rules of the herd, she is banished from the herd to wander alone or make her own herd of outsiders. If she attempts to return, the other Starlights will attack her as if she is from an enemy herd. Some of these outsider Starlights would train themselves and end up becoming Star-ponies, allowing them to shine in the dark.
 
Even usual Starlights, being related to Star-ponies, have some basic Star-pony abilities, other than carrying things or shooting energy shots with their horns. When threatened, Starlights create magical barriers around themselves, and approach the enemy. If any enemy touches their magic barriers, they will be burned alive, as is the case for this poor Twily-pony who intruded one of these Starlight herds:
 

 
This is why you should be very careful when you approach them||, as all that remained of that intruding pony are some charred ashes. She tried her best to fly and teleport herself, but was quickly surrounded and burned by Glimmers||.
