Doodle a day #26, Princess Celestia.
I want more Celestia. I need more Celestia. It’s sad that we’ve had 5 seasons of this show, and one of the most prominent, influential, and powerful characters in the show has barely had any backstory or development.
Luna is generally considered “best princess” (yeah, she’s my favorite too), but I believe most of that has to do with Celestia being an unknown. We know she’s a mentor and a matriarch with a bit of a playful side, and she loves every single one of her subjects. That’s nice, typically fairytale material. But what made Celestia, Celestia? What makes her tick? What kinds of songs get stuck in her head? How does she handle stress? What irritates her? Luna is the warden of dreams, what else can Celestia do besides raise the sun? We need answers, there’s so much potential.
I think if we got an episode about Celestia and Luna’s childhood, I would pop. Filly princesses? Yes please.
