Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 Celestia's wearing some very convincing stilts. She's actually Twist-sized. 2 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastel 7,630 May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 I think it has to do with age? Maybe I don't think so, isn't Luna the same age as her? In that case, she would be as tall as her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiteporte 591 May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 I don't think so, isn't Luna the same age as her? In that case, she would be as tall as her. No, Luna is her younger sister. Celestia, on the other hand, is about 1000 years old, so this might explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everleaf 541 May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 Well alicorns seem to grow much taller than a normal pony as all the alicorns (even Twilight) seem to be taller Celestia being oldest she is tallest in that it is unsure what size the other alicorns will grow...

Alicorn Fluttershy 152 May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 mabey all the adults in equestria minus the princesses dissapeared and the teen's were brainwashed into thinking they are older?

MLPFanatic34 3,234 May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 (edited) She been hittin' the gym and gettin' brolic. Haha Best response ever, but yeah I think Celestia is so big due to being 1000 years old and being the ruler of Equestria.

Quintara HiveHagfish 243 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 You see every pony in Ponyville. Do you notice their size? Well compare the average pony in Ponyville to Celestia. Why is she so big compared to the others? Is it glandular problem? image.jpg Its Because she drinks lots of milk and eats lots of vegetables.

StitchandMLPlover 930 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 Equestria is like a hive of bees. There is a queen (Celestia) and workers (everypony else, including Luna, Cadence, and Twilight). Celestia is everyone's mother! All of the equines in Equestria were born from her and brainwashed with false memories of having different parents and of having offspring of their own. I just made that up. Celestia is Luna's older sister and, therefore, is bigger than her. I think Lauren Faust said that Luna wasn't fully grown yet when she was banished or something, and that's why she is smaller. I guess that idea didn't stick when Faust left the show. Luna seems to be the same height as Celestia when I watch the episodes but I could be totally wrong.

SparklingSquirrels 21,347 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 Haha, so many funny answers here. I think it's just because she's the princess of Equestria, and that her height is more of an authority symbol than anything else. ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao 7,870 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 Maybe due to Evolution, the once horse sized ponies had to get smaller to deal with a change in thier world of some scale or even such things? It might be Tia and her sister were able to keep their size by using a spell of some kind so they could use "Strong" type Magic which they need for the sun and moon and thing!

Cwanky 17,597 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 (edited) She's has super growth hormones, much like Big MacIntosh, which explains why she was just as easily able to match him pound per pound in raw strength.

Metemponychosis 1,262 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 Spoiler for The Diary of the Two Sisters It's said in there that she and Luna grow magically stronger by moving the moon and the sun around in the sky. My guess is that she is bigger because she has that much more magic inside her. Which I believe is also the reason why her mane floats around. It makes her "god-like" and I like it. But it doesn't explain why Fleur Dis Lee is big too. 1 https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out.

Naiya The Brony 483 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 (edited) maybe because she was suppose to be a basketball player but never been qualified? XDShe's actually human it's because some security guard has been stuffed inside a giant celestia suit XD but in all seriousness I think it's because of magic and age also signify that a ruler is high and mighty.

PartyWithPinkie 189 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 It seems like a normal Alicorn trait. Seeing as Twilight has grown since her ascension, I would assume it's an Alicorn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature's Spell 526 September 5, 2014 Share September 5, 2014 I think people have given a lot of the likely reasons: age, magical power, status and presence. However, I think the animators went a bit overboard and she should have been only slightly taller than Luna. Now it's too late but she does look out of place compared to the other princesses.

sweetolebob18 728 July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 Looking at Nightmare Moon/ Luna in episode 2, an alicorn's size is related to their power. Celestia is biggest because she is strongest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,428 July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 As Rainbow Dash's doodle of Twilight pointed out in "Testing, testing, 1,2,3" this appears to be a common trait for Princesses/Alicorns, probably to show their power and authority... Luna is also an alicorn-born pony, and she's not as big :comeatus: Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
