Who is better, Luna or Celestia?

Ok so I have a question for everypony here. Who do you prefer, Luna or Celestia? Honestly I love Luna but I pick Celestia cause she's twilight's bestie and she's never afraid to fight unless she has to.

For me, sorry to say, it'd be Luna. She had an interesting backstory, her abilities of dream-walking is awesome, and not to mention she's soooo cute! She's more well made than her sister, Celestia. Although I do like Celestia also but something about Luna just grabs me, ya know?

Oh boy, you sure picked the wrong fight. Luna fans! Assemble!

 

But seriously. Definitely Luna. Take everything Appleoosa said then add better powers, better design and proportions, and the fact she's one of Meghan McCarthy's favorites too.

Celestia:

Endured 1000 years of loneliness (Essentially with loss of Luna). After fighting alongside her with Discord, Sombra, elements, it'd be very hard emotionally to take her sister's banishment to the moon. Meanwhile I think Luna has been on the moon for that time, but seems to have been placed in "stasis" there instead of actually being active on the moon.

 

Took over the role of raising the sun (essential to life) and the moon (For ocean tides, non-essential to life)

 

Honestly though I'd have to say Celestia is better.

I used to think Luna was overrated to hell and back by the fandom. I'm more on her side now, but between the Royal Sisters I still prefer Celestia. I feel that Celestia is exactly what she needs to be for the story, wise, maybe no longer at the peak of her power like she was when she dealt with Sombra and Luna but still a benchmark of strength, Twilight's inspiration. And her singing voice is better (Cadence blows both out of the water though).

My favorite is Celestia.

But I like Luna just as much. I just can't pick one!

 

We know so little about them from the show, but what got me into the show was the two princesses. Mostly because of the background that is given about them in the first episode. If they had used Nightmare Moon correctly she would be the best villain in the show and that is important because... Spoiler from the comics...

 

I thought that Luna and Nightmare Moon where exactly the same.

 

 

But I think that Celestia has little awesome moments in the show and the comics that really make me like her. Luna is great too, but I feel that the Season 4 opener has turned her into a spoiled teenager. Damn... I complain about this a lot.

For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out.

And I'm just getting started.

Luna is best princess. Seriously her art is way cooler, dreamwalking is awesome, and I love the fact that she is good but not perfect (Celestia just seems too Mary Sue like, although I do like her as well).

Luna has appeared more than a couple of minutes of an episode, has a deep back story, awesome powers e.g. entering any pony's dreams and the Royal Canterlot Voice, and has more character development.

I don't think that Luna is that cute. I mean, she seems to be perpetually angry (not counting formal events like coronations) , especially at Twilight for some reason. Do they even talk outside of formal events? We don't know. Maybe she's mad because she doesn't seem to have much value compared to Celestia or Cadence and we haven't really seen her use her powers as Princess (such as making decisions) for any use. Even Twilight observed that trading event in Trade Ya. What does Luna do? Because she is pushed in the background, it's hard to like Luna more than Celestia so in my opinion, the latter is better.

I've always thought Luna was a very intriguing character and I'd love to see more of her on the show. That said I like Celestia too but Moonbutt definitely wins my vote here. :comeatus:

I'm gonna be the hipster and say Celestia is better than Luna. Honestly Luna has been one of the show's most overhyped characters since season 1, whereas Celestia doesn't get enough love from either the staff(both show and comic) nor the fanbase, despite that she's had as much of a tragic past as Luna, and has had some great moments in the show

I like Luna better because I find it easier to relate to her.

Celestia is a great ruler and has a lot of good qualities, but she just doesn't appeal to me as much for some reason.

Luna, on the other hand/hoof, is a tragic heroine - one who has made terrible mistakes and knows it, and is still unhappy with herself despite having been forgiven by her sister and the rest of Equestria. At least that's how I see her - the imperfect and flawed one, working hard to improve herself while battling her own anxieties and guilt about the past.

 

Plus, I think most humans are more like imperfect Luna than perfect Celestia. I certainly am.

This is not a signature.

For me it will always be Celestia, I just love her mentor role to Twilight and her continued brightness despite her tragic past. I would love her as a mentor and she is my favourite  non Mane 6 pony. I love her design too. :yay:

Well I think that each sister had amazing qualities. I mean their polar opposites. Celestia is the typical Regal ruler and a typical older sister, Luna is trying to figure out what it means to be a princess after a 1000 year imprisonment. Which is why we haven't seen her after the Halloween episode. She's distant and kind of cold at first. Which is why a lot of people like her. Celestia has the ruler aspect while Luna is catching up
