History Fanfic / AllTheWayBack

* [[AGodIAmNot A Goddess Am I Not]]: Luna discovers to her that the Night Pegasi -- a race that she herself modified from normal Pegasi long ago to be her most loyal retainers -- have come to worship her both as their Creator and as TheSacredDarkness. This makes her ashamed -- not because she considers the Night Pegasi unworthy, but because she considers ''herself'' unworthy of such adulation, considering that she made a FaceHeelTurn and then abandoned them for her thousand years of exile. This is despite the fact that she is, in point of fact, a {{Physical God}}dess.

* TheDungAges: Luna is well aware that the Time of Thrones was this, compared to modern Equestria. She's happy to see the ponies become so peaceful, prosperous and happy. She often misses her happier memories of the past, though.

* TheLostLenore: Dusk Skyshine, the husband of her earlier incarnation as Moondreamer. Dusk was Luna's OneTrueLove. Now reincarnated as Twilight Sparkle.

* EmotionEater: She doesn't ''need'' to do this, but both Celestia and Luna can draw strength from the love of others. This is interesting, considering that this is canonically a ''Changeling'' power!

* GoodBadGirl: Luna attempts this at her nadir of depression and loneliness. She fails completely: she has ''one'' affair with a Night Pegasus which never gets beyond some stolen kisses and her [[SecurityCling holding him]] when the bad dreams come. In the end she winds up thinking of him more as a friend: she sets him up with a Night Pegasus mare and becomes his loyal patroness. Luna later reflects that she was never very good at debauchery.

* [[UpperClassTwit Upper-Class Twits]]: Luna is saddened to see how decayed has become much of Equestria's aristocracy. Prince Blueblood is her prime example.

* [[OneManIndustrialRevolution One-Mare Information Revolution]]: Now that Equestria has attained an Industrial-Era level of technology, Princess Luna wants to push it farther and faster -- even faster than does her sister Princess Celestia. Especially where weapons technology is concerned.

* TheAtoner: One of Princess Luna's main motivations. Not only did she rebel against her sister, but she did great damage to her Celestia's plans to unify all Earth under Equestrian rule.

* [[BigBad Big Bads]]: The [[DarkIsEvil Night]] [[LivingShadow Shadows]], [[StarfishAliens aliens]] from a [[DyingEarth dying Cosmos]], who [[FaceHeelTurn corrupted]] Princess Luna in the first place, and who seem to be [[TheManBehindTheMan behind]] many of the threats now appearing at an unusual rate to beset Equestria.

* BadassPrincess: All the Princesses, as they are meta-ponies and the [[GodInHumanForm Avatars]] of ''immensely more'' powerful [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Cosmic]] [[EldritchAbomination beings]].
