Differently from most ponies, Luna got her cutie mark when she was older, in fact, she was already princess of Equestria when she got it.

Her Alicorn status and old age, give her a great power when casting spells, as well a long arrange of spells she can cast that she learned over the course of her life. It also has the strength of the Earth Ponies, the magic of the unicorns and the flying abilities of the pegasus, as Alicorns are the combination of the three pony species.
Luna has a connection to the mythical creatures that roam around Equestria to the point she is actually able to comunicate with them.

History:
It is not known the real of the two princesses, how long they have ruled over Equestria, if they had family apart of each others, and many stories of the two are lost in history, and the only remains of their past are the ruins of their old castle in Everfree, the castle of the two sisters as it is commonly known, full of secrets and history of the past.

Thanks to Twilight finding the old journal of the two sisters, she managed to know things about their past no pony knew before or had forgotten.
First, the two Alicorn princesses were coroneted after the the three tribes established their new friendship. Star swirl the Bearded, as well as Private Pansy. Smart Cookie and Clover the Clever. the three as the representing their species, went to consult them so the two could become the rulers, as their Alicorn status made them the combination of the three species of ponies. The two agreed and became the princesses of Equestria. *

Luna and her sister decided to build her castle in Everfree forest, since Star Swirl told them about the tree of harmony, and after showing it to the two, they agreed to it. With the help of the ponies, and Luna recruiting the help of the wild creatures of the forest thanks to her new ability of being able to talk to them, managed to finish the castle, and Luna added several secrets to it, like traps and secret chambers. And it was also Star Swirl the one that thought Luna how to move the stars around.*

When Luna and her sister, one morning, noticed that it was unusually dark outside, they went to look for Star Swirl, and learned how the unicorns moved the sun and moon around, but also the cost- It used three unicorn with great magic, Star Swirl one of them, to move them every single day, as well as all they magic the unicorns had. The two Alicorns agreed on moving them and after flawlessly doing it, Luna and Celestia got her cutie mark.*

The first record known before Twilight recovered the journal, was when the element of chaos, Discord, arrived to Equestria and harmed it's citizens, interrupting and overthrowing the two Alicorn princesses from power, as his abilities were superior to those of them. Seeking for a new way to defeat this thread, and remembered the elements of harmony. Luna and her sister agreed and went to retrieve them in order to defeat him.

Princess Luna had with her the elements of loyalty, honesty and laughter, while her sister the other three, and they went back to face the embodiment of chaos. With the help of the elements, the two managed to defeat the Draconequus and petrified him before returning the kingdom to its former glory, but not that much is known beyond that.

The next record of the two was when the evil creature, Tirek, and his brother appeared. But thanks to Tirek's brother, who warned the princesses and Star Swirl of Tirek's plan, the two managed to defeat him and send him to the Tartarus for it to be it's prisión for the rest of his days, and his brother was sent back to his homeland.

Time passed since those incidents, and Celestia's actions were going even more noticed and beloved that Luna's. She was the one that cared about the ponies' dreams and defended them from the creatures, as well as watched over the night, the vigilant watcher, but non of it assured the loved of the ponies, who loved her sister way more than her. Her heart filled with hearted and jealousy over Celestia and planned on overthrowing her from power, and brought in an eternal night over Equestria, making her transform into the evil Nightmare Moon. This transformation not only made her evil, but also stronger and bigger, and even Celestia was no match for her.

Nightmare Moon managed to overskill Celestia, but at the last moments of battle, the sun princess used the elements of harmony to defeat her and Nightmare Moon ended being banished to the Moon for 1000 years, something Celestia didn't calculated in her desperate attack, as well as loosing her connection to the elements of harmony and thus not being able to use them again, Luna loosing as well the connection with them when she was banished.

The shape of Nightmare Moon's head could be seen in the Moon every night from that moment onward, and Clestia took over her place as she brought up and down the moon for 1000 years.
And in all that time in the moon, Nightmare made a plan for when she went back to Equestria and have revenge on her sister and bring the eternal night to Equestria.

1000 years passed, and finally, she came back, the same day the summer sun celebration was being held in Ponyville, and Twilight's arrival there as well.
She appeared in front of the town ponies, inside the town hall, and after announcing her return, she went to the castle of the two sisters, and waited for Twilight and her new friends. She put several threaths along the road, both from the forest itself. as well as her shadow bolts, but the 6 mares managed to overcome them, and used the elements of harmony to defeat her and eradicated all hearted inside her, bringing back the princess of the night to her real self, but also punished herself, making a creature that would give her nightmares every night so she never forgets what she had done, the Tantabus.

After Princess Luna was back, it took her quite some time to not only get back the love of the ponies she ruled upon, but as well as get used to this new era, as it was different from the one she used to know 1000 years ago, and this was shown quite well when she went to pnyville to celebrate her first Nightmare Night, but with the help of Twilight and her friends, she managed to start getting used to it, as well as get the admiration of the ponies back.

Time passed by, and she redeemed herself, taking back her ruling over the night, and as well as re installing the night guard division of the royal equestrian army, that was disbanded after her banishment, and attended more important events, like the equestrian games. Yet she was not prepared, as well as the other princesses, of the return of Tirek. She gave her powers to Twilight, as well as Cadence and Celestia, and waited for him to appear, though she and the other two alicorns, could not fight him, but when Twilight defeated him, the three got their powers back.

After all those events, she carried on her ruling, but ne night, the creature she created, the Tantabus, escaped her dreams. She hunted it down, and showed how skilled she was in her dream magic, and with the help of Twilight and her friends, she managed to defeat him and destroy him, making her able to have pleasant dreams again, and what expects the princess in her future, is yet to be seen, but she hopes all that had happened would not be forgotten like her past.

​Personality

Luna is a calm pony, who likes taking care of the ponies of Equestria and help them in their dreams. She can sometimes act rather childish, but is just from time to time, and mostly when she is with ponies she trusts the most, like her sister. She can sometimes let her guilt and sorrow overcome them, and blames her self for her past actions that ended up in her becoming Nightmare Moon, but with the help of Twilight and her friends, she managed to overcome those feeling time after time.
​Luna also takes her responsibilities rather seriously, as she is the one responsable for many things, and she has to be the one that must be able to do it.

​Character Summary:

​Luna has live a really long life, and had seen a really vast amount of things along her life, from the moment she became the Princess of Equestria, to what Equestria is right now. She was a blank flank when she became the princess of the night, and after Starswirl thought her how to move the stars, she managed to move the moon while her sister moved the sun, the two getting their cutie marks soon afterwards. The two helped the ponies build the castle of the two sisters in the everfree forest, since the three of harmony was located there, and they wanted to be close to it in case they needed the help of it to defend Equestria.

​As time passed, the two Alicorn sisters fought many enemies. Sombra, Discord, Tirek, but they managed to succeed and imprisoned their enemies, saving Equestria from danger, but it was not until Luna transformed into the Evil Nightmare Moon, the thoughts enemy they had encounter, as it was Luna herself. Celestia barely managed to defeat her thanks to the elements of harmony, but the two alicorns lost their connection with them.

​It was  not until 1000 years later that Luna came back to Equestria, thank to Twilight and her friends defeating Nightmare Moon the same day she arrived. Celestia forgave Luna for her actions and she went back to Canterlot with her, to take back her rightful place as the princess of the night, retaking her old duties and forming again the night guards, as they were disbanded after her banishment.

Many other problems came after some time, but with the help of Twilight and her friends, Equestria was saved, even if Luna and her sister were either defeated, or not able to help.

 

Prompt:

 

As almost every day, Luna was roaming around the castle during her time to watch over Equestria. Things had been running really smoothly and calm since Twilight and her friends had been taking care of almost everything that threatens Equestria, and the two Alicorn sisters had just taken care of ruling the ponies as always. It was a rather boring day for her, as there was not so much to do and the princess didn't felt like doing paper work, as that was something her sister was more used to.

 

Luna let out a small sigh and decided to go out and have a walk around the city of Canterlot. When the princess walked out, she let out a small sigh, feeling the fresh air in her fur as she stepped into the night, the city barely illuminated thanks to the moonlight and some light on in the street, and her night sky mane was waving behind her mane as usual, shinning some more in the darkness. There were some night guards patrolling the city, but something felt... wrong. The Alicorn princess knew that something was off that night. It was rather late, but the city was too quiet. There were usually ponies out, going to place to place during this time. The princes, worried about the ponies, decided to go and investigate.

 

​Princess Luna first decided to ask around to the guards patrolling the city, but they all reported the same. Nothing out of the ordinary. She frowned at that and went to investigate the houses of the ponies that lived in Canterlot.

 

The Princess first looked inside trough the windows, trying to be careful not to wake up or scare the ponies. She went from house to house, checking on them and getting worried as she moved around to the next one. She found a pattern that all the ponies were sleeping, and where having a Nightmare. Even some said similar things. Perhaps a shared nightmare? The princess thought that was the best posible answer, but that was something she hadn't seen in a long time.

 

After noticing that, Luna's horn glowed and traveled herself into the dramscape. The area around her started changing, into what it looked like space, but soon enough, a grand aura of different colors raised from the sides, and the princess landed on the nothingness. As soon as her hooves touched the non-existing ground, a large amount of doors, different from one to another, appeared from the ground. She opened several of the doors to see inside and got surprised as her assumptions were right. They were all having the same nightmare. Shocked by this, the princess decided to exit the dream realm, as she alone could never save all the ponies in time.

 

Luna decided to go back to the castle and make a plan to make sure she could work out a solution. She flew back and landed on the balcony of her room, then headed into it. Her room was not that decorated, but what it had went along with herself. The bed with the shape of a moon, the curtains with blue tones, and some night stands and a dressing table when she stocked several clothing and dresses she used from time to time, appart of her regalia.

 

After a while of thinking, Luna came up with a plan. She ran to her study as quickly as she could, and got some papers and a quill, then wrote down a few letters to several ponies around canterlot to come in her aid. Since she alone could not handle all this, the help of other ponies would make her able not only to figure out what was going on, but also find the solution.

Within minutes, the princess finished and sent the letter to different ponies around the castle and Canterlot, saying that she needed their assistance, then she waited for the ponies to arrive, sitting in the chair in her study.

Hi. This is a great start, but a little hard to follow due to some grammatical errors. A little editing would help this application tremendously.

 

In Unique Traits, you say she has "a natural talent on anything related to the night", which seems a little overly broad, even for her. Perhaps a little clarification on this point, beyond her already well known skills with dreams, is in order?

[PrinceoftheNight]

Sure. I will read it all and make all the corrections it needs

[PrinceoftheNight]

I edited it and is ready for revision.

[RedCedar]

One last point I'm curious about. How did you come up with the point about her being able to communicate with animals?

[PrinceoftheNight]

Oh, it is part of the journal of the two sisters book thingy.

And I think it is more with creatures rather than animals.

Gona quote that part from the mlp wiki.

Weeks into the castle's construction, a team of workers fails to return from a supply run into the Everfree Forest. Luna finds the ponies trapped in a cave by a ferociousmanticore named Melvin, whom she, Celestia, and Star Swirl manage to subdue. As the three bind Melvin with their magic, Luna is shocked to discover she can understand Melvin's roars and learns he was simply trying to defend his home, where the ponies had set up their supply site. After Melvin bursts into tears and Luna clears up the misunderstanding with the ponies, everyone apologizes and restores Melvin's home. Melvin repays the ponies by helping them finish the castle alongside other creatures from the Everfree Forest recruited by Luna.

What's the difference between creatures and animals?

[PrinceoftheNight]

What's the difference between creatures and animals?

Anumals are the critters you usually see, like butterflies, birds, etc, etc, etc.

Creatures would be the wild ones, like timberwolves, manticores, and stuff. Well. I consider them as that.

   You're saying she's like Fluttershy and can talk to animals then?

Not exactly as her. She can only speak to more wild creatures and not every single animal, but with the ones I sorted out, as they are more night related than the 'normal' animals.

Possibly you could phrase it  like "She has a tie to the more  "mythical" creatures of the night, one most ponies think of as mere stories, or nightmares" Like she has a connection to creatures that are portrayed as scary and dangerous?

That is a nice way of seeing it. I will edit the app so it adds something like that.

I thought so, makes it more clear than trying to make up a new definition for "Creatures" that already means "Animals"

Yep. Thank you! I edited it

If I may chime in, I don't see the Character Personality or Character Summary fields in your Luna app. These two things must be addressed in your app along with everything else you've written.

 

Oh, since this app is marked [READY], here is the RP Prompt that we ask all Tier-1 and Tier-2 cast applicants to answer:

 

 

How can you make the character unique, interesting, and expand on them beyond what we've seen in FiM? What happens after the episode ends? That is a question cast players are asked to answer. For your RP prompt, please give us a short example of the character doing what they do best. Be as creative and detailed as possible, and play them how you would in a live, opening roleplay. Be sure to finish your prompt with an opening for another character to realistically reply.

Hey there. I understand English may not be your first language. Is there a chance you could clean up the English/grammar of your roleplay prompt? We need to make sure that any posts you make with this character are easy for other players to understand. I'm not asking for perfect grammar, but it would be really helpful for our final decision to approve you for this character.

 

Thanks!
