Princess Luna is the diarch of Equestria, ruling the land alongside her older sister Princess Celestia. The two regal sisters ruled together in harmony, Celestia raising the sun at dawn and Luna bringing out the moon at night. But as time wore on Luna came to believe that her subjects shunned the night and her by proxy, making her heart grow bitter. Eventually she refused to lower the moon to make way for dawn and let evil seep into her until she transformed into Nightmare Moon, a mare of wicked darkness. Her older sister used the Elements of Harmony and used them to banish her sister to the moon for a thousand years. On the longest day of the thousandth year, she returned as Nightmare Moon during the Summer Sun Celebration and was transformed back into her normal self by the Elements of Harmony. After a tearful reunion she accepted Princess Celestia’s offer to rule by her side again.

For a thousand years her subjects have known her as the evil Nightmare Moon, leading them to be weary of the princess’s return and souring her attempts to reintegrate into the modern world of Equestria.

Princess Luna is characterized by a strong sense of remorse. Torn over her guilt over the suffering she inflicted as Nightmare Moon she created the Tantabus a dark, parasitic magical force that turns her dreams into nightmares every night.

In her attempts to connect with her subjects Princess Luna has a bad habit of excess decorum, like slipping into the “traditional Canterlot Voice” which sounds like yelling. She also speaks in an old Ponish, which sounds like Shakespearean English, making use of the ‘royal we’ to refer to herself. She uses archaic terms like "hath," "thy," "nay," and "thou," as well as other such constructs.

If she can get past the barrier between her subjects she is a rather playful princess, delighting in playing pranks and tricks on her friends and family. She’s also a kind and wise ruler to her ponies, that’s especially good with foals. She also has the soul of a poet and is an introverted night owl that can be awkward when out of her depth socially. She also still struggles to cope with living in her sister’s shadow who she sees as “shining more brightly.” Still, she loved her sister dearly, her heart only growing fonder during the time of her banishment. Luna also has a bit of a temper, getting haughty at perceived slights. She can also be a bit snarky at times in less formal situations.

Princess Luna has many royal duties she attends to in the night. Every night she uses her magic and wisdom to enter the dreams of ponies and help them overcome their nightmares and guide them through their fears. Aside from raising and lowering the moon she also has the task of painting the night sky, moving around stars to create beautiful night sky tapestries. She also has her night court, a direct counterpart to Celestia’s day court where she hears out her subject’s plights. On top of all that Luna is a avid huntress, hunting down magical beasts under the cover of night so that her ponies might safely play during the day.

Being a mare out of time she’s a bit old-fashioned and set in Equestria’s old ways and will often say things that clash with the sensibilities of modern Equestria.

She’s a navy blue alicorn with an ethereal mane and tail that looks like it’s made out of the night sky itself. She’s shorter then her sister but still taller then most other ponies. Her cutie mark is a black splotch of darkness with a crescent moon in the middle.
