Ask Princess Celestia

[Princess Celestia 184]

To Celebrate the Summer Sun I shall answer your questions about myself or anything you care to ask 

I will be doing so in batches as I must attend to a few summits and other royal duties. 

I look forward to hearing from everypony 

[Lucky Bolt 35,064]

Hey Princess, where’d you learn how to make such amazing pancakes? 

[DivineMist1000 71,360]

Dear @Princess Celestia, do you like hugs?

[Odyssey 5,716]

Where do you order all of your cakes and tea leaves? I heard you have a stash full of cakey treats that can be only found in the backdoors of the Canterlot Castle... 

[TheRockARooster 51,678]

Hi @Princess Celestia, I hope you're well and having a great day.

I'm curious, where would I be able to get a pet phoenix?

[Prometheus 3,038]

Hello, Princess. How does one go about obtaining the power to move the sun at will? I need it for... reasons. 

[TBD 17,254]

Dear Princess Celestia,

      What is your favorite thing to do with your sister? And also what is the most valuable friendship lesson you had learned?

[Silly Druid 7,035]

Your highness, you said that before sending Twilight away you knew "there was a special group of fillies in Ponyville". How did you know that some random ponies from some random town were special?

Also, what happened to you when Nightmare Moon returned?

Time my Dear. When one lives as long as I have its easy to get a lot of practice.

Of course. Though as a Princess I rarely get them.  For some reason people think its inappropriate.

Honestly I am so busy I let the castle staff do the ordering. Or I sometimes make my own. But the staff are so good at knowing what I like I rarely need to cook unless I wish to. 
As for my stash well I wont give up my hiding spot. Then everypony could dip into it.

The area surrounding the Dragon Lands contains Phoenixes but its very dangerous to attempt to get one. Plus as we know from my dear Philomena phoenixes can be a handful to raise. So if you do get one take great care to work them them and teach good manners.

One does not just obtain a cutiemark and magical talent. It is inborn and takes a lot of magical training under a wise tuter like Starswirl to unlock such natural talent.

Dear Princess Celestia,

      What is your favorite thing to do with your sister? And also what is the most valuable friendship lesson you had learned?

Honestly just being able to have a simple meal alone to talk is one of my favorite times to spend with Luna. We get such things so rarely. 

Most important friendship lesson? That is a difficult question. But I can tell you the hardest lesson is trusting myself and my beloved student @Twilight Sparkle enough to let her go out on her own and grow as I knew she needed to. 

[Goat-kun 2,527]

We can start with a real simple one: Where is your birthplace?

[DivineMist1000 71,360]

Thank you for answering my question, your highness!

Another question for you if I may: Have you and Luna ever participated in the Sisterhooves Social?

Thank you so much for answering my question, @Princess Celestia.

I really appreciate it.

Hello, @Princess Celestia! It's an utter pleasure to meet you. I know that overseeing an entire nation can't be easy, so what do you like to do to relax?

[Sparklefan1234 171,559]

Dear Princess Celestia,

 

How are you?

 

I was wondering: "Do you prefer Spring or Summer?"

 

Thank You *so* much for answering my question! 

[CheeryFox 23,821]

You gonna share that cake? 

[Randimaxis 8,652]

*wanders shyly in*

Uhm... hiya. 

I h-h-had a question... i-if it's okay... I was wondering... h-how do you view the sovereignty of other nations, as compared to Equestria?

I mean, how do they compare to Equestria, and do you include them in your decisions?  And which ones do you formally recognize?

I-I-I mean... if that's n-not too much of  question, Your M-Majesty.  

*nervously fidgets, waiting for reply*

[O-78 28,607]

Hello, @Princess Celestia! It's such an honor to be here!

I was wondering a couple of things:

How did you become an alicorn?

Who ruled Equestria before you and Luna?

[Ganondorf8 11,322]

I figured on asking this question because I won't have another opportunity to do so until next year. What do you think of the trivia event I created dedicated to you and your counterpart in Equestria Girls?

[Twilight Luna 31,407]

Dear Princess Celestia,

The history books show you having a pink mane. When and how did you get your lovely rainbow-colored mane? 

[MangoFoalix 24,961]

Dear Princess Celestia,

Is Twilight your favorite pony?

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Honestly this is seriously a really stupid question, but do you mind if I call you "Celestia~Desu"? (I'm really sorry... )

I keep an eye on all in my kingdom with potential. I saw the glimmers of the elements within those special fillies. The elements were not responding to me. So I knew I must step back and let my student and her new friends handle the situation otherwise they would turn to me to solve it for them. When in reality it was only they who could deal with the issue.

I cannot confirm or deny the use of disguises to participate in such events.

Tea and cake are very relaxing.

The summer does allow for longer days and so I can get more done. But the spring has such beautiful colors its really hard to decide.

All the kingdoms outside of Equestria have something to offer and are worthy of consideration. I include them if the decisions will require their aid or impact them.

Who ruled Equestria before you and Luna?

We were born Alicorns my dear. The statement about dear little Flurry Heart is that the kingdom of Equestria was formed after the birth of the last known Alicorns. The Hearthswarming tale tells of the rulers of each pony tribe before myself and Luna agreed to rule the united kingdom of Equestria. So in short nopony ruled Equestria before us as Equestria was formed and we were asked to rule.

I appreciate the effort yourself and the other party ponies take to make such a day special. Thank you for the time you put into it.

Are you implying I dye my mane?! I am not THAT old yet.

She is a beloved student but a Princess cannot play favorites among her subjects.

I welcome nicknames that make my subjects feel closer to me. 

[DivineMist1000 71,360]

@Princess Celestia One last question: How much do you love Luna?

[Silly Druid 7,035]

Thank you for answering my questions, I have one more: Are your answers canon?

[Princess Celestia 184]

@Princess Celestia One last question: How much do you love Luna?

With all my heart. I have seen many ponies with great sibling chemistry in my time, and I've come to believe that the best sisterly bond is one formed from more than just being sisters. Luna is more indeed. My dear sister, and my best friend.

Cannons? Hm. This surprise you, but I usually let the Guards worry about the armory and artillery. Though we really don't have much use for warfare in these days of relative peace. Between you and I, there is some doubt if they would even know how to aim them. That said I believe that words have great power and strength, so yes I would say that my answers could have that power.

Did she put you up to that?
