Maybe she's Twilight's student! They have said that Twilight isn't going away for Season 4, and Celestia did say in the Season 3 finale that Twilight would still be her student, but not in the same way, followed by the line "we're all your students now, too." So Twilight now has a bit of a potential for development in that she now has to act as teacher instead of a student for the first time in her life, and depending on how awkward of a transition it is there's potential for a pretty good relationship with this new character. It also just makes sense if Sunset really is a previous student of Celestia (implying she failed or gave up on her studies) and now she's looking for help to actually complete them herself from the pony who's just recently accomplished that feat.
