Celestia is the sun-themed queen of Equestria, a hidden island in the Pacific that's really big on magic, friendship and horses, and which was largely unknown to the outside world until Celestia's sister Princess Luna tried to plunge the world into eternal night in 1964. Celestia was part of the original Alpha Force team formed in reaction to this event. She has been a member of Alpha Force on and off ever since, throughout many configurations of the team. She has taken a break a few times in the past to devote more of her time to governing her country: he spent almost the whole of the 80s governing Equestria rather than and only rejoined Alpha Force intermittently during the 90s for crises and crossover events. She has been back on the team on a long term basis since 2006, leaving the direct ruling of Equestria mainly to the younger Princess Cadance, and, more recently, Princess Twilight Sparkle, her personal protege with whom she frequently exchanges correspondence. When she came back to the team 8 years ago it was a really big deal.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You pay even the most cursory attention to anything to do with superheroes. Celestia has been a celebrity for decades. Your mother probably had an action figure of her. She probably saved your grandmother from a supervillain in the 1960s, and gave her advice on interpersonal relationships afterwards. If she did, she almost definitely remembers your grandmother's name. She is that kind of superhero. She posts on the Watch and Herolink quite a bit. She uses emoticons fairly frequently :) YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You have been active as a superhero in any capacity in the last 50 years, excepting the 80s and 90s – Celestia has been involved in all manner of teamups and crossover events – or if you are working for CONDOR in a capacity that involves interaction with Alpha Force, or if she rescued you one time, or if you are a supervillain who has engaged her in the past, or if you are a subject of her magic friendship horse kingdom (does not necessitate being a horse) Note that in recent years you're not likely to have run into Celestia in the course of the average coincidental teamup – she tends not to spend a lot of time on your usual sort of crime-fighting so much as large-scale catastrophe aversion type stuff. PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Celestia is pretty much just benevolence-ing along as the de facto leader of Alpha Force at the moment; she's sort of functionally a glorified NPC at this point so I'm not prioritising getting her Important CR & Character Development but I wouldn't say no. THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothin really! ANYTHING ELSE: NAH
