== Tropes shared by Celestia and Luna ==

 

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: [[Word of God]] states that [[Winged Unicorn|Winged Unicorns]] combine the natural abilities of Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth Ponies.

Ruler of Equestria. According to the [[Creation Myth]], she governs both the sun and the moon though she originally commanded "merely" the former and only assumed control of the latter after a disagreement with her sister pony-goddess. A white winged unicorn with [[Multicolored Hair|a multicolored mane]], she is noticeably taller and more slender than her subjects. She appears, is mentioned, or is depicted in every episode of the show so far.

 

== Princess Luna ==

Princess Celestia's younger sister. She co-rules Equestria alongside her older sister. According to the [[Creation Myth]], she used to govern nighttime, but grew jealous of her sister and wound up [[Sealed Evil in a Can|sealed away for a thousand years]] as the Mare in the Moon. After being defeated by the reformed Elements of Harmony, she [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]] and becomes Princess Luna again, resuming her nighttime duties. Her only appearances in the show so far are "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E2 Elements of Harmony|Friendship is Magic, part 2]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|Luna Eclipsed]]" (her only major role), "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E25 A Canterlot Wedding Part 1|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1]]", and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2]]".

** [[Dark Is Evil]]: Out-of-universe, this trope is a key reason why she didn't show up again in season 1. Strangely, Luna is actually even darker (color-wise) when she returns, so they apparently got over it.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Apparent in ''Luna Eclipsed.''

'''Luna:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Yes.]] I can tell by all the ''adoring'' shrieks of the children as they ''run away''. }}

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After the Mane Six defeat her with [[The Power of Friendship]], she's accepted back into Equestrian royalty by both her sister and subjects. The subjects are apparently still somewhat scared of her, though.

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, better known as Princess Cadance, is a [[Added Alliterative Appeal|pretty pearl pink princess pony]] and niece of Princess Celestia (and probably Luna's). She had been acquainted with Twilight Sparkle as she was her foal-sitter when she was really small. It was also back then that she met the colt who would eventually become her husband, Shining Armor. Her main talent appears to be bringing love to others. However, she had not been acting as herself in the days coming up to her wedding...
