My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
A thousand years ago, Princess Luna once ruled alongside her older sister Princess Celestia, but her jealousy over ponies sleeping through the night and the fact that her big sister was more well-known, well-loved, well-received and appreciated than she ever was and also not appreciating her work led to her transformation into Nightmare Moon, which forced Celestia to banish her to the moon using the Elements of Harmony. Nightmare Moon first appears in the series premiere, having returned from her banishment to plunge Equestria into eternal night. After being defeated by Twilight Sparkle and her friends using the Elements of Harmony, she is restored to her original form as Luna and tearfully reunites with Celestia, who welcomes her back with forgiveness and love.
Throughout the early seasons, Luna struggles to adapt to modern Equestrian society after her long absence, initially speaking in an archaic, formal manner using the royal we and a powerful voice that frightens other ponies.

Why this record matters
“Princess Luna” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Princess, Luna and Wikimedia provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7244682. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2019 and 2021.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
