Reserved• Graceful• Courageous
Moonlight's not a pony of many words. He's reserved and secretive. For him, it's always been best to keep his distance on topics that pertain to himself. It stems from a fear, and a real trauma for him, that trusting someone could lead to him getting hurt.
It's no surprise that he's a fish out of water when it comes to social gatherings. His social skills leave a lot to be desired and his demeanor is often misconstrued as arrogance. When frustration sets in, he clams up and becomes distant. He claims himself a better listener because of this.
Despite his shortcomings, he's a charitable pony. As the spirit of the Element of Humility, Moonlight is the humble servant of his kingdom. He's never someone to put himself above others because of his status, preferring to treat everyone as equals. When it comes to unruly ponies, he puts them in their place, teaching them the importance of decency and kindness.
Trivia
- In his exile, many things became custom for ponies both in Flamsteed and on the nearby surface world.
- Many covet flowers that bloom on his old surface world lake, taking the flower and making the petals into leaves. They believe this flower holds powerful medicinal properties.
- Another highly coveted item are rare gems that crop up around the lake. Many believe this to be where Moonlight galloped. The gem is collected to ward off evil spirits and invite the moon light into their home.
- Ponies both in Flamsteed and on the nearby surface world always open up their windows during a full moon, believing they'll receive the old Prince's blessing.
- Likewise, they'll shut their windows on the night of a lunar eclipse to keep evil spirits away.
Origin
Moonlight's beginnings are shrouded in mystery. The first mentions of him are from old children's tales regarding the founding of Flamsteed. How the stars and the moon crafted the kingdom with love and care. To rule in their place over Flamsteed, they placed their youngest wishing star upon the throne. This pony was destined to serve as the bridge between the Heavens and ponykind, protecting them under the gentle glow of the night.
The reality is that in old Flamsteed, the prince never existed. As far as anybody remembers, it was always governed by a council. But one thing that did exist were shooting stars.
During a tumultuous time, this child's tale began resonating deeply with the denizens of Flamsteed. Every time they spotted a shooting star, they wished deeply for a protector. A dependable, selfless pony to lead them. One night, their wish was so strong that eventually, the stars descended from the heavens to deliver a young Moonlight.
The new prince, however, was nothing more than a colt. While he grew, he was (and still is) under the care and tutelage of Celestial Key.
Mythical Prince
The prince remained mythical in status despite despite being among his subjects. He was rarely seen outside of strife and public appearances. Many still thinking the stars' descent was nothing more than people's imaginations for playing into an old children's tale.
Regardless of the opinion from his subjects, Moonlight cared not only for them, but for those who lived on the ground. So much so that when ponies began to settle the far North, he guided them to safer and fertile lands.
His mettle would be tested with these pioneering ponies. As they tried to settle the land, a pair of powerful alicorns threatened not only these traveling ponies, but Flamsteed as well. Together with them, they helped seal these two alicorns but not without a great cost. The land became a frozen desert. The cold was harsh and not many survived the attack. As a last act of kindness, he taught these ponies powerful magic so they may both prosper and keep watch over the sealed alicorns.
Despite trying his best to keep relations with this fledgling kingdom, as centuries passed, communication ceased as Moonlight focused on his own royal duties.
This would come to bite many in the tail into the far future. As the two kingdoms forgot about each other, the seal weakened enough for one alicorn to break free. This alicorn, Centaurus, vowed to break his partner out. In a surprise attack, he successfully usurped Moonlight and kicked him out to the surface world.
Years passed in his exile, only having Celestial Key as his constant traveling companion. The two hid their identities as they tried to find ways to take back the throne. They were forced to flee, however, as Centaurus was notified that the old prince was attempting to overthrow him.
Having little choice, Celestial Key advised for them to flee to the far north in search of help.
Restoring his Crown
Traveling far north, they saw refuge in a kingdom hidden in ice. Their king, Frostbitten Crown, welcomed them but not without an ultimatum. His terms were simple. He would give protection to both Moonlight and Celestial Key if Moonlight agreed to an arranged marriage, or left in the crossfire of impending war.
With such bold terms, Moonlight cursed Frost for his arrogance but came to regret it quickly. After being cursed, Frost chastised Moonlight. He revealed too late that he was going to war with Centaurus when the latter threatened an invasion. The marriage was so they could secure a prophesized power to help stop this and reseal Centaurus.
Seeing little option and to rectify his mistake, Moonlight agreed to the marriage. Like clockwork, Centaurus soon invaded but the prophesized power promised never came to them. As a last ditch effort, Frost dueled Centaurus, the alicorn retreating only after Moonlight inflicted a curse that turned him into a colt.
With the knowledge that Centaurus will find a way to break the curse and restore his power, the two princes were advised to seek powerful magic in the form of Elements of Harmony. With vague prophecies and riddles at their disposal, they set out to find these elements.

Frostbitten Crown
[ Beloved ]
Although he disliked Frost for his arrogance, to the point of cursing him, it was this attitude that got him to warm up to Frost. He finds his smugness adorable and cares deeply for his wellbeing. More importantly, because of how cold Frost's kingdom is, Moonlight is more concerned with how fluffy the guy is. The perfect cuddle partner during cold nights.
Celestial Key
[ Advisor/Paternal Figure]
One of Moonlight's most trusted ponies. Since he was small, he looked up to Celestial Key as a father. Everything he's done was to make him proud. Moonlight relies on Celestial for council or advise and sometimes a bit of validation.
