Princess Luna?

 

1) She was a tragic villain character.

From a writer's perspective, Princess Luna is actually one of the most complex and intriguing characters in the show, along with one of the only morally ambiguous characters. She has one evil and one good alter ego, and the best part of that is that the alter ego "consumed" her--this makes her a tragic character; whether or not everything she does as Nightmare Moon is completely her fault is a very intriguing topic of debate. Also, how many incredible fan works have you seen inspired by her tragic backstory? I can name a few:

 

 

 

 

 

2) Her portrayal as a redeemed villain in Luna Eclipsed.

Before Discord made it cool. Just kidding. Still, her portrayal in Luna Eclipsed was absolutely flawless as far as developing what made her into a tragic character then, and why she needs the friendship of the Mane 6 and her sister now. Her extremely vulnerable nature and desire to be loved combined with her quick temper and social awkwardness reveal exactly why she fell into the 'Nightmare Moon' state. But the best thing by far that this episode did was allow Luna to move on--for probably the first time in thousands of years, perhaps the first time in her life, somepony (Twiley) actively tried to befriend her. Also, this episode really showed the pain that Luna had to deal with as a result of trying to move on from the past:

 

 

 

 

 

3) Her portrayal in Sleepless in Ponyville as a ruler just like her sister.

Princess Celestia has been referred to before as the "moral center of the show" in that she is the one who encourages everypony to value friendship, and also is a wise and caring teacher, as well as being one of the only flawless characters in the show, personality wise. Luna not only is an intriguing tragic villain, but ALSO is now a caring mentor and a moral center of the show, just like Celestia by helping Scootaloo conquer her

fears. If a character can be the most moral (Sleepless in Ponyville),

most evil (Friendship is Magic pts 1 and 2), AND morally ambiguous (Luna Eclipsed), then you know that you have one hell of a character.

 

4) Woona is so adorable as a filly it's not even funny.

Moving on from complex character-based reasons, here's something that's simple to explain:

 

 

 

 

My apologies for giving you a heart attack.

 

 

 

5) She is the Princess of the Night, Moon, and Stars.

This is more of a personal reason. I could probably fill five paragraphs here with why this is important to me and provide several examples, but basically it boils down to this for why I personally love the night more than the day:

 

 

--I am obsessed with how beautiful the stars and moon are.

--In day, I'm always super busy with school, homework, and activities my parents force me into, but at night I can just relax and enjoy the company of my friends on the ponynet.

--This kind of goes with the last one, but I really like to be alone, and nighttime is my only chance to do so

 

 

 

 

Some characters may be intriguingly tragic, thought-provoking because of their redeemed status, wise and caring leaders, FREAKING ADORABLE, and rule over beautiful parts of nature like Luna...but no character will ever get all five like she will.

 

And that's why i wuv Woona. :3
