Behind the scenes
Conception and creation
My Little Pony: The Art of Equestria does not list a designer for Sombra, one of the very few characters that are not credited. Character designers credited for "The Crystal Empire" were Rebecca Dart and Kora Kosicka, however neither artist has taken credit for creating Sombra.
Portrayal
In his debut, Sombra was depicted by Jim Miller]]. Many fans were disassified by his original voice, believing it was "generic" and unoriginal. In his return appearance in "The Beginning of the End", he was instead portrayed by Alvin Lee Sanders, the voice actor for "Flutterguy". Fans are divided on Sander's take on the character, with some thinking his Sombra was far superior, giving him a deeper range of personality, while other fans find that his portrayal clashes with his earlier depictions while also making him seem like more of a stereotypical villain
Sexuality
Mike Vogel, a show writer and former VP of Hasbro's development, joked that Sombra was gay on Twitter.[1] This is contradicted by Sombra having a romantic partner in the form of Radiant Hope, a mare. While it is possible for Sombra to be bisexual or pansexual, the fact that the comment was made based off stereotypes rather then anything meaningful, this is unlikely. Insider rated Sombra in a list of LGBTQA+ cartoon characters.[2]
