Gotcha, I understand your earlier reasoning from your perspective now. But yeah, Starlight is a definite Prince class.


 
"Pages tended to stay in holding patterns, because their power would overshadow everyone else if they didn’t stay in a holding pattern. Seriously, a fully self aware and self-actualized Starlight would completely dominate the setting."


 
The problem is while Gohan always had growth potential, Starlight does not. She is limited completely by her prowess in unicorn magic and has no otherworldly inner strength. The fact she has so much power simply by existing makes Starlight more like Uub then Gohan, although despite being trained by someone as separated from reality as Goku/Pony Twilight, Uub actually became a responsible young teen. (While the GT show bastardized so much of DBZ and its characters, Uub and SS4 Goku were allright. But that's a little off track)


 
....


 
"Point is that I honestly do want Sci-Twi to surpass Sunset, my only problem is that they went way too fast with it."


 
I'm the exact opposite with Sci Twi. I want Sci Twi to be stronger then Pony Twi, and I want Sunset to remain the stronger then Scie Twi and the older sister/senpai relationship since she's the true Heir of Celestia for a better generation of harmony.


 
Plus, they already established showing Sunset and Sci Twi's stars in EG3 that Sunset will be the strongest in the long run, and they already established that Sunset is still the leader despite Sci Twi becoming an alicorn first, which was a refreshing change of pace to Celestia declaring alicorn pony twi a princess on the spot. Besides, Sci Twi has not reached any level of power greater then what Sunset has achieved while still being in control of herself.


 
While there is quite a bit of Gohan in Sci Twi, its not all there, and Sunset is not Goku or Vegeta, there is no need for Sci Twi to surpass her. Unlike Pony Twi, success isn't Sci Twi sole goal in life, its to be herself. And her drive to fight for her friends is high but is not superior to Sunset's. Its okay for Sci Twi to be the Luna to Sunset's Celestia, so long as both learn from their predecessor's mistakes, and they have already.

In her nature and even a visual sense, she's a rogue and/or an heir. Even her first god tier appearance gives her the god tier rogue mask. If a successful Muse can have aspects of both of a Heir and a Rogue and other classes, which is possible due to it being one of the two Master-classes, then Sunset would be a successful Muse, which wouldn't be too far off since Sunset's current ability is pretty much the penultimate and powerful nondirect ability, complete connection to hearts and minds of those she touches, and a lesser extent by doing her 'windy (friendship) thing' while singing. Also, her element awakening and matching up with other elements charged with Rainbow Power suggests her possibly having a Master class.
