Her bitterness "transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon." The elder sister reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and banished her " in" the moon for 1,000 years, maintaining harmony in Equestria by taking responsibility for both sun and moon.įile:Celestia Defeats Nightmare Moon S01E01.png The narration continues: their subjects, the ponies, played in the day but "shunned" the night and slept through it, which made the younger "unicorn" grow bitter, eventually refusing to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister is later named Princess Celestia.Ĭelestia is introduced in the prologue of the first episode, depicted in a series of medieval-style drawings with a narration that says that "two regal sisters who ruled together created harmony for all the land," and that "the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn the younger brought out the moon to begin the night." In the first episode's prologue, a storybook-like narrative portrays the elder unicorn princess (on the left) and her younger sister. Her tail and mane have a natural flowing motion, even when Celestia herself is not moving, but they stop doing so when Celestia is weak, as in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, unconscious, as in Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2, magic-less, as in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2, or covered in slime, as in Make New Friends but Keep Discord.ĭepiction in the series History Ruling Equestria File:Book Princess Celestia and Luna S01E01.png The glow is yellow in the remastered title sequence introduced with Lesson Zero, as well as in that episode itself and all the second season episodes that follow it. In The Return of Harmony Part 1, it is blue when Celestia opens the door to the vault but pink when she levitates the empty box the Elements of Harmony are supposed to be in. The color of this glow varies: for instance, it is blue in A Bird in the Hoof, orange in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, and white in Griffon the Brush Off. As with regular unicorns, when Celestia casts magic, a magic aura surrounds both her horn and the objects her magic affects. Princess Celestia is larger than most ponies, with three exceptions being Nightmare Moon, who is about the same size until she reverts to being Princess Luna Trouble Shoes and Steel Buns. įaust also mentioned that during the initial casting of the show, Kathleen Barr, Trixie's voice actress, did a "very good" audition for Princess Celestia before Nicole Oliver ultimately got the role. Her status was changed to "princess" at Hasbro's request. Lauren Faust commented that Princess Celestia was originally supposed to be Queen Celestia, the highest authority, with no parents who outrank her. Celestia's name comes from the word "celestial", derived from Latin "caelum," meaning "sky" or "heaven". Princess Celestia was inspired by Majesty, a G1 unicorn.
