Princess Celestia is the wise and benevolent ruler of Equestria, alongside her younger sister Princess Luna. She’s a graceful lithe alicorn with a pristine white coat of fur, with a very light pink hue if one were to look close enough. She has an ethereal mane and tail made of spink, purple, aqua blue and green that sparkle and billow in a nonexistent wind. She has large expressive magenta eyes that radiate warmth and kindness. Her royal regalia consists of a golden crown with a purple gem on it, a golden necklace also with a purple gem in the center and golden hoof shoes. Her cutie mark is a sun with eight sunrays emanating from it. She presides over Equestria’s sun, raising it at dawn and lowering it in the evening.

A thousand years ago her beloved sister was overcome with jealousy and transformed into Nightmare Moon. With no other choice Princess Celestia was forced to banish her to the moon using the Elements of Harmony. In the following millennia she had to rule alone, raising both the moon and the sun. Deep down Celestia felt regret for not seeing that her sister felt unappreciated and not helping her before it was too late. This event was the push she needed to become a wise ruler, determined to never let down the ponies close to her again.

As an immortal she has endless life experience that has made her a brilliant ruler, a cunning strategist and a master of all manners of magic. She has seen a lot in her time and has learned how to handle all manner of situations expertly with a natural grace that comes all too easily to her. She’s quick witted, sharp and not easily fooled. Like the sun she commands she is full of eternal warmth, a veritable beacon of purity and hope to her subjects. She has a high tolerance for inappropriate behavior, being extremely patient and nurturing even in the face of impropriety. She is almost more of a mother to her subjects than a ruler, guiding them to greatness with a loving gentle hoof.

Aside from her duties as a ruler she is also a teacher at Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns. She has an affinity for foals, delighting in their innocence and carefree attitude. Over the years she has taken many apprentices but by far her greatest pupil is Twilight Sparkle, who’s she’s mentored since Twilight was a foal. In some ways Twilight is like the daughter she’s never had.

Celestia prefers subtlety in her approaches to problems, preferring to subtly nudge her subjects in the right direction and giving them advice rather than solving their problems for themselves. Rarely does she state her goals or act directly, instead preferring to pull strings from behind the scenes. Additionally, she is fiercely protective of her family and friends and should push comes to shove she is quick to unleash her fury on evil with the fury of a raging star.

She also occasionally reveals a more whimsical side to her and a desire for amusement and respite from a life of boring court rituals and political maneuvering. She’s known to play pranks on those close to her and appreciates the simple pleasures in life. She also has a huge, sweet tooth and can’t resist the allure of a slice of cake.

She does, however, have flaws. She can be overly proud and boastful, stemming from how superior she is compared to other ponies. Deep down she also has a fierier side of her, one that mirrors the more destructive side of the sun and harbors a need to control and protect her subjects at all costs. An evil alter ego called Daybreaker. She works hard to suppress this side of her, but it sometimes slips out partially during periods of high stress.
