After melting down, Nightlight wants to kiss and make up. In the end, she is ashamed and afraid of her own temper. As a mare with Unicorn Syndrome, she finds it especially hard to control feelings of anger, anxiety, and distress (cf. this article).

Nightlight's big brother tells her that her fiery emotions are part of who she is. White Night teaches her that there is a safe time and place to let it all out. A tendency to melt down is something Nightlight has to live with. But she can learn not to let it damage friendships. Even so, it will take a lot of practice and patience.

In MLP:FIM, the kirins are a race of creatures that specially resonate with me. Fiery emotions and a tendency to melt down are part of who they are. Fortunately, Autumn Blaze showed that it is possible to let it all out in a safe manner. Autumn Blaze's hyperactivity also relates to me as one on the autism spectrum.

Nightlight has what it takes to become a sweet girl in the way that Autumn Blaze is. Her big brother makes her feel safe and warm, and he helps contain her damage when she explodes. White Night is like a security blanket for his little sister. He is like a nurturing father and a protective mother. Nightlight tends to be shy about showing affection — but she will cuddle with her big brother.

Visual Description:

Nightlight cries into White Night's shoulder. White Night hugs her and gives her a comforting smile. Nightlight's hair and tail are still smoldering a little from her fiery meltdown. White Night's eyes are also a little teary, feeling sorry for his sister but overjoyed by her kissing and making up.

White Night is a white unicorn with a build that balances the cute and delicate with the big and strong. He has wavy hair that straddles the line between wild-looking and well-combed. His hair descends toward the bottom of the neck.

White Night has bright blue eyes and sapphire-colored hooves. His hair is bright cyan-blue with a lightish golden stripe and a darker bluish stripe. He is nearly a head taller than his little sister, Nightlight.

Nightlight is a lightish purplish pink unicorn with bright purplish pink hooves. She has darkish pinkish magenta hair with a dark stripe and a golden yellow stripe.
