I have a couple of theories about Pipp.
I have a couple of theories about Pipp.
Oftentimes, the creative process involved discovering things about your own characters and setting. Elsa was originally supposed to be the villain of Frozen, but Let It Go made her way too sympathetic, so they did some rewrites. There’s a really impressive fight scene from Titanic that was cut because the stakes pale in comparison to just getting off the sinking ship.
Glowin’ Up is a song that’s “near and dear to [Pipp’s] heart”, and the lyrics describe Zipp more than they describe Pipp. I feel like there was a scene where Pipp runs off, and Zipp goes looking for her. Turns out Pipp is doubly-hurt, because not only did she write the song for Zipp, but Zipp just left her hanging. Maybe Sunny and Pipp bond over the idea of doing something to honour someone they care about.
Pipp is a princess and a pop star. She’s basically unaffected by pegasi not being able to fly, and could be a star regardless. She directly benefits from the deception. Where Queen Haven at least has an understandable motivation, Pipp doesn’t seem to grasp the bigger picture. So they must have realized that next to Zipp and Queen Haven, Pipp was really not sympathetic at all. Especially after the station scene. I think they figured that a bland character was better than an actively unsympathetic character, and did some damage control.
