This Booster set will focus on the Royal Family of this story. ~~~ - Princess Luna Sel. Equestria - The gorgeous, elegant, wise, caring, and nightly princess who guards the dreams of all of Equestria and raises the moon and for a thousand years the sun aswell. Luna is usually found sleeping and often falls asleep wherever and whenever she desires, this is perhaps a type of narcolepsy or perhaps it is because she can sense with great accuracy when a truly bad nightmare begins? It may also be because for a millenia she was greatly taxed raises both celestial bodies. She acts as an older sister figure to all ponies under her preferring to just be called Luna as much as possible as she worries little about things like titles. Luna also loves playing pranks and having a ton of fun which she can indulge in due to the day court being handled by her Emissaries of the Night. Luna relies deeply on her trio of close friends and together they have all supported her as she supports Equestria. If she had not made such great friends it is possible the isolation would have driven her mad and she would have suffered like her beloved older sister once did. She is also the mentor to Sunset Shimmer and aunt by adoption of Prince Blue-Pose and the cold hearted Mi Amore Cadenza. Luna is 1,300 years old and makes herself appear as an adult to sell it as top princess. Her hobbies are pranks, napping, carnival games, floral arrangement, floriography, night jogging, astronomy, singing and tea ceremony(Learned from a Japonese ambassador) Her Special Talent is controlling the moon and manipulating dreams. ~~~~ - Celestia Sol. Equestria - The recently returned princess of the sun. For a thousand years she was trapped, merged with the evil demon Daybreaker Sun and sealed within the sun. It was utter burning agony as Celestia lay as a prisoner in her own body due to her pride, her insecurity, and her ambition. She sought a beautiful utopia of shining light and hope, one where her subjects would be safe and happy while they basked in the land she led. In her quest she was possessed by the Nameless One as she sought the power to make it happen, to manifest her dreams which the creature used to finally gain form and desires. Having been gone a thousand years Celestia has much to adjust to and many ponies she must win over to regain her former station. Many still do not trust her thinking she could be a usurper. Despite this all those close to Luna including Sunset Shimmer all adore Celestia and hope she can overcome her guilt and inferiority in order for her to fully regain her awesome powers. She is already however showing her usefulness having taken over most of the day court duties from the Emissaries of the Night and doing a wonderful job. she is also teaching several classes at the Luna Institute of Magic and helping take care of the many animals in the Canterlot Castle Royal Garden. Celestia is 1,500 years old, her hobbies are tending to animals(Especially birds), baking, pulling pranks, teaching, studying, art, storytelling, and eating sweets(Mostly cake.) Her Special Talent is manipulation of the sun and being a shining beacon of leadership. ~~~~ - Prince Blue-Rose(Blueblood Regalia Wind Rose) - The adopted nephew of Luna and later Celestia. None know where he is from only that while on a journey to Monocolt Luna saw a shipwrecked boat and a tiny colt was clinging to a piece of driftwood having not eaten in days or remember where he had come from. Luna felt utter sorrow at this and decided to adopt the colt to show him he would never be alone again. He grew as a member of the royal family often at odds with his pseudo sibling Cadenza, the two often arguing and competing with each other, though it was clear Blueblood does care deeply for his more grim and glowering foster sister. He also met and became friends with Sunset Shimmer the both having a love of faraway adventures as told in many storybooks. However as he was stricken with a terrible wander lust at a young age he ran away many times trying to understand himself. Which culminated in him taking his newly built airship the Ms. Direction and fleeing Canterlot determined to not return until he finally found himself. As he traveled he found his purpose when he defeated an evil Minotaur king called Minos Princepe(Little Prince). This puzzle loving evil Minotaur ruling an entire island south of Griffolia and its Capital Griffonstone. Growing enraged at the ponies who did not appreciate his talent for the creation of puzzles, quiz's and mazes he trapped the entire city in his evil magic maze and overthrew the previous king, now watching as all the ponies of the island would be forced to play his games and attempt and fail to solve his puzzles. Blueblood happened upon this island and met the previous king, a wise and sagely earth pony named Seeker. Seeker pleaded with Blueblood to help all the trapped ponies and to enter the village via the maze and find a way to finally break the curse on the island. Through Blueblood's amazing navigation skills he beat the maze and having the faith of all of the city within him he created a great spell, the Golden Compass which sealed away the evil the Minotaur before the box scattered into pieces across the four corners of the world to forever be carried on the wind, Blueblood warped to a mysterious space where Luna found him the stallion now bearing wings in addition to his horn. Luna so proud she began to cry and dubbing him now: The Prince of Direction(In both movement and life), he returned and eventually started to date the young wannabe knight who he had met through Sunset Shimmer, the daughter of the unicorn guard captain: Fluer Dis Lee. The two soon falling in love and courting for a very long time until they resolved to get married. The wedding however was interrupted by Blue-Pose being captured by Changeling's and replaced by the rebellious separatist king Thorax. Sunset feeling something was off with Blue-Pose however managed to rescue to real Blue-Pose, break Thorax's brainwashing of Fluer and together the three aided by Cadenza stopped the assault on Canterlot and hurling Thorax in the frozen north where he and his army were instantly frozen and trapped. Blue-Pose's exact purpose, his Fiefdom and destiny are still a mystery even to himself. Blue-Pose is 20, his hobbies are:Travelling, map making, astronavigation, compass collecting, sailing, reading adventure books and practicing fencing. His special talent is Direction, in both movement and life. ~~~~ - Princess Mi Amore Cadenza - The dark, grim, bitter, and distant mare of cold hearts. She can heal the holes in others hearts and help others find love yet her own heart is cold and lonely. She is very distant to Sunset despite them being around the same age and can't stand children or much of anypony else. According to rumors she was once a sweet and caring young pony with a shining heart full of love. She was apparently initially raised by wolves then dropped off with an Earth Pony family when she was about 2, they lovingly cared for her as did everypony else in the village except for Prismia a young sorceress obsessed with her own beauty and the fact she was unloved. Prismia angry at being unloved and her talents being overlooked by this happy Pegasus created a spell, the spell that would force everypony in the village to love her and feed her power which would be stored in a diamond necklace. As everypony lost their love and became the devoted and admiring followers of Prismia she resolved to increase the gemstone's power and rule Equestria having gone power mad. Cadence stood up to her trying in vain to convince Prismia that what she was doing was not the way to be loved. It ended with a battle and Cadence shattered the crystal thinking it would break the spell however all the energy inside broke out and created a powerful implosion of magic energy leaving nothing but a crater where the village once stood and Cadence all alone. After being found as the only survivor in a village destroyed by an evil witch named Prismia, Cadenza who once loved being called Cadence no longer does. Luna had taken her in trying to show her she is not alone and welcoming her into her extended family making her the foster sister of Blueblood(Later Blue-Pose). Luna is deeply worried about Cadenza as the mare has had an ongoing and severe battle with depression caused by her guilt over failing to save her home and the isolation she causes preventing her from moving on. On more then one occasion Cadenza has attempted to harm herself and bears scars on her from hooves that resemble cut marks. She does have a competitive streak when it comes to Airship customization and racing, which many find odd since she is a Pegasus and can fly. Cadenza is 20, her hobbies are: reading/writing poetry, gothifying her wardrobe(As she is given so many dress's for events.), collecting crystals, meditating, customizing her airship:Bleeding Heart, racing Blue-Pose in their airships and being alone. Her special talent is love magic and helping others find happiness. ~~~~ - Princess Consort Fluer Dis Lee - A foalhood friend of Sunset Shimmer and daughter of the former head of the Unicorn Guard. Being raised by a single parent she was doted on by her father who wanted her to be happy and protected above all which is why he was adamantly against her wanting to follow in his hoofsteps. despite this Fluer had been training to join the guard since she was 6. She first met Sunset when the filly was only 5, bored and lonely due to her mother constantly being in meetings at the castle with other important Magi and the Royal Wizard she went exploring and met Fluer who was playing soldier and trotting about with her toy sword. The two becoming fast friends and often playing together during other such meetings since her father often brought her to work since he hated leaving her alone. Since her father hated the idea of her becoming a guard she was made a lady in waiting to Princess Cadenza, who always just brushed Fluer aside and basically made her stand around all day or just do whatever she wanted, which Fluer enjoyed as it gave her more time to play and train. When she was 13 and Sunset was 11 tragedy struck as her father was killed by a Changling spy, alone fully now Sunset's mother Sundance Scarlet adopted Fluer making her and Sunset stepsisters, which the two loved as they were finally family like they always viewed on another, Sunset dubbing her BSBFF(Big Sister Best Friend Forever). Through Sunset and her duties as a hand maiden she met the dashing Prince Blue-Blood and the two fell in love having gotten married recently after a 5 year courtship. Fluer is both tough as nails and a refined lady, though she does have some insecurities about how she is seen just as a girl/handmaiden instead of the strong, skilled, and capable warrior who deserves as much respect as anyone in the royal guard, which paints her as someone of contradictions. She is an extremely skilled fighter who has shown off her strength and prowess numerous times defeating many other fighters in local skill tournaments, and even protecting Sunset, Cadenza and Blue-Pose during adventures. Eventually she was finally welcomed into the guard on recommendations from Blue-Pose, Cadenza, Sunset, the Emissaries of the Night and Princess Luna herself. She quickly rose in rank through the Unicorn Guard due to her skill, dedication, and brilliant mind making her the new captain the same rank her beloved father once was. During the Royal Wedding she was brainwashed by Thorax into being a source of power for him and so a small group of his army could sneak into Canterlot while the majority lay in waiting to chip away at the barrier field. During this a rift was caused between her and Sunset until she was rendered a mindless puppet and forced to fight Sunset. Until Blue-Pose's faith and love broke the spell and together Sunset, Blue-Pose, Fluer and Cadenza defeated Thorax banishing him and his separatist changelings to the Frozen North where the Windigo's froze them solid. Fluer is 19, her hobbies are: Swordfighting, training, parkour, exploring, helping her friends, being a lady of grace and skill, modeling, going to the spa, polishing her armor, competing in contests of skill, reading stories to Sunset(and later Ember), and foalsitting. Her Special talent is:Grace, elegance and skill in fighting and combat magic.
