Why does Luna get most of the love while Celestia doesn't?

[-Octavia- 1,176]

People are just afraid of Molestia

Dunno why. She was the better of the two in that series, in my opinion.

Most bronies are crybabies, and identify with Luna.

I pay no attention to fanfic, fanons or memes.  I do like Celestia, I just like Luna more.

 

The reason is that we have seen development in Luna that we haven't seen in Celestia.  I love the whole background story of the two sisters, the younger in the shadow of the elder becomes bitter and resentful, and is banished because she crossed the line and went over to the dark side.

 

But mostly, since her return we've seen her struggle to come to terms with her place in the modern world.  In 'Luna eclipsed' we saw her beginning to come to terms with her role as princess of the night, and later to embrace that role in the arc of episodes where she visited each of the CMC in their dreams to help them overcome their fears.

 

We've seen her grow in a way that we haven't with Celestia, and That's why I like her so much.

Well, it's true that I prefer Luna.  She's one of my favorite characters.  But they're both great, and Celestia deserves more screen time and development.  If there's one thing I've been screaming relentlessly about since the beginning, it's that Celestia needs a spotlight.  It will still probably never happen.
