My hypothesis about Lightning Bliss’s inability to control her magic

Spoiler Alert:  The following text describes details from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season 8 Episode 23 "Sounds of Silence".  If you haven’t seen this episode and don’t want that episode to be spoiled, please stop reading this now.

After I watched several online videos that feature the original character, pony alicorn named Lightning Bliss; I have asked myself this fandom question:  Why does Lightning Bliss have an inability to control her magic?

Lauren Faust commented that Princess Celestia embodies the traits of all three pony kinds: Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn.  Thus, I surmised that because an alicorn has the harmony of three different kinds of magic to draw upon that they are inherently more powerful with their magic than most other ponies that can only draw upon one type of magic: Earth, Pegasus, or Unicorn magic.

Lightning Bliss does not appear to resemble any of the five alicorns currently in the cannon series as of season eight.  Let’s consider Lightning Bliss’s hooves and her tail.  She has hooves and a tail that don’t resemble any of the standard three pony kinds.  In fact, the most similar species that have hooves and tails like Lightning Bliss are the Kirin.  If Lightning Bliss has one or more Kirin ancestors, then Lightning Bliss has four species within her; thus causing disharmony within her that creates her inability to control her magic.

Can we get to see Lightning Bliss’s family history and ascertain if there is one or more Kirin in her family tree?  Can anyone teach Lightning Bliss to achieve harmony over her four species to finally control her magic?  When Lightning Bliss does master her magic, does that mean that she will have more potential power than an alicorn?  What will that incredible power mean for those around her?  After all, the power of four species working in harmony beats the power of three species working in harmony.  Last but not least, Lightning Bliss’s unique genetics means that Lightning Bliss is the most unique pony known to the fandom, a very special honor indeed!
