Celestia, the Queen of the Sun and ruler of Equestria.
Unicorn turned alicorn.
Undefined, any, sapphic.
Queen Celestia is quite the pony. Some use her name to refer to her as a holy figure, while others see her as Equestria’s mascot. Celestia is a dangerous foe to have, often turning her competition to stone to display in her gardens or slaying them with her magic. Others though, may see her as a complete pacifist who preaches the meaning of friendship and what it takes to be there for those you care about. Despite both of these views, Celestia is a pony of many faces. While regal and composed and knowledgeable in front of dignitaries, Celestia is genuinely a chubby fun loving doofus of an old lady. She enjoys baking, extreme sports and stunts, sweets, candy, and agriculture. She also likes small story books from her childhood.

Notes:
- Same magical abilities as Luna, more Sun aligned.
- Grew out beard because of Starswirl’s when she was young, hasn’t trimmed once.
- Responsible for the formation of Equestria.
- Still feels remorse for actions regarding her sister’s turning and other actions towards adversaries.

Luna, the Monarch of the Moon and ruler of Equestria.
Pegasus turned alicorn/half bat.
Agender, it/its, queer asexual.
Monarch Luna is a pony of legend and infamy, walking in the flesh to ponies that have not believed in it. It doesn’t blame them either. Luna is an aloof and often stern pony trying to regain its footing and respect as a ruler of its land, although it tends to feel like there is not enough progress being made. It uses its time regaining its footing by aiding ponies in their dreams and nightmares, teaching them that it’s alright to face what scares them. When this job became overwhelming, Twilight Sparkle and Zecora started taking duties to help it, which it’s forever grateful to them for. Despite Luna’s strides in progress, it swears that it can see, from the slit corners of its eyes, that it sees just a few ponies whispering about it, while staring right at it.

Notes:
- Same magical abilities as Celestia, more Moon aligned.
- Is part bat pony because of the amount of time spent corrupted.
- Responsible for bat ponies.
- Still feels remorse for actions as Nightmare Moon and how it affected its sister and subjects.

Flurry Heart, the princess and ruler-in-training of the Crystal Empire.
Alicorn.
Genderfluid intersex, she/he/they/cloud, lesbian demisexual.
Flurry Heart is the excitable second child of Cadence and Shining, always brandishing a toothy grin on her face. He’s quick to show of their large wingspan and already curling horn, drowning cloudself in the thousands of adorations from the ponies she grew up around. Despite what it may sound like, Flurry is a genuinely nice and selfless pony who just enjoys when the attention is on him for a bit. After training under their Crystaller Sunburst for so long, cloud’s excited to always show off her large bursts of magic to anypony who wants to watch him. They couldn’t ask for a better title for cloudself!

Notes:
- Flurry is the first natural born alicorn Equestria has seen in a very long time, but she’s not the first ever.
- Flurry loves playing a disappearing act on his parents to hang out with family and friends.
- They enjoy going outside of Equestria the most.
- The markings on cloud’s body are called Cutsie Marks, left from the common yet recessive effects of getting the Cutie Poxs as a blank flank (This will be expanded upon in a later deviantation!).

Mi Amore Cadenza, the Princess of Love and ruler of the Crystal Empire.
Pegasus turned alicorn.
Trans mare, she/her, pansexual.
After unlocking the magical abilities surrounding love that only one other pony before her ever has, that being the Crystal Queen, Cadence was granted a horn and given a title of Princess around her teen years. As she grew up into her role, she realized just how much it suited her and how much she liked it. Cadence, while softer spoken, is stern and confident about what she feels is right and doesn’t let anyone tell her differently. When it comes to her family (which seems to be growing more and more with each day) she is in love with what they’ve turned out to be, and cherishes them all dearly.

Notes:
- Deals with four types of love magic: Philautia - Self love, Philia - Platonic love, Storage - Familial love, Eros - Romantic love.
- Is the least powerful alicorn, not that she minds.
- Is a huge nerd, likes attending Starswirl conventions and dming Ogres and Oubliettes games.
- In an open relationship with Shining.

Shining Armor, the Prince of Protection and Commander of the Crystal Empire’s royal guard.
Unicorn.
Demistallion, he/they, bisexual.
Shining Armor is Cadence’s “Knight in Shining Armor,” except he’s quite literally the opposite, considering how often Cadence has save them from peril. Shining has been in love with Cadence since high school and deeply cherishes his relationship with all of the supportive people in their life, her included. He may sound like a typical dude-bro, but they are anything but that. Genuinely a sweet guy with too much heart to give. No wonder Cadence loves him back.

Notes:
- Has dreamed of being in a guard their whole life.
- He hopes he gave Spike and Twilight equal attention when they were all kids.
- Plays in Cadence’s O&O campaigns every single time.
- Has invited most of their friends into Cadence and his relationship at some point.
