My Little Pony will always have a special place in my heart. I absolutely love the show and all of the wonderful ponies!

Admittedly... This was a cosplay I never thought of making in the first place... but since I was up for a challenge to create a cosplay in 48 hours, I decided to take up on the challenge. It taught me to use my creative skills as well as try something I have never done before. I know I can do more with this cosplay, but I had this done on time for the convention. :)

As much as I loved Applejack, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, I wanted to cosplay as a pony who I don't often see. Princess Luna is one of the royal ponies who only has a few appearances, whether it's in the epic scenes or a couple other episodes. I really like her because she does show that stubbornness personality that I can relate with, yet she has the beauty and grace as the princess of the night.
