"Every year, we put on a disguise
To save ourselves, from her searching eyes
But Night Mare Moon wants just one thing
To gobble up ponies in one quick swing
Hungrily, she soars the sky
If she sees nopony, she passes by
So if she comes and all is clear
Equestria is safe another year
Fill up her belly with a treat or two
So she won't return to come eat you"
"I am the princess of the night, thus it is my duty to come into your dreams."

-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Luna likes the nighttime, and obviously her dear sister and nightmare night. She also likes Equestria and Canterlot, that which she rules over with Celestia . Luna likes more traditional things, it can be assumed this includes reading and addressing her people, however this is not to say she has not learned to enjoy new past times. She also enjoys the past times of her people, partaking particularly in festive celebrations of particular holidays such as Nightmare Night
Dislikes: Luna dislikes being reminded of what has been and gone, mainly her time banished or as nightmare moon, she initially appears to dislike the way nightmare night is, until she learned to accept it for what it is, a night of innocent scares, warming up to the idea. She also displays a dislike for Pinkie Pie for a short time, due to her constant running away and exclamation of "it's nightmare moon!" However this was on one subjective occasion, and now does not dislike her
Motivation: Luna now wishes to paint herself in a more positive light after all that has happened, to get rid of the "evil" stigma she has been associated with, with the help of her new found friends and sister she hopes to start her life anew in equestrian, and has returned to royal status with as much dignity as one can after such a troubled past. Having being back in Equestria for some time she now seeks to strengthen the bonds she has made and to share the load with her sister by taking on what responsibilities she can, without encroaching on her sister's duties
Strengths: Luna, like her sister appears to be kind and caring, it can also be assumed she is also powerful in the field of magic, considering she is one of the alicorn sisters.
Luna must also be emotionally strong enough to show her face again after her past, and in order to wipe the slate clean and start again with her people, She also controls the moon,
and has shown some degree of weather manipulation, being able to create dark clouds and bolts of lightning. She has the ability to dream walk, as in she can enter dreams and interact at will
She is strong of heart and is dependable, she has stirred belief and confidence in those in need, as seen with scootaloo, and many others. She has become confident in her role in society since her return and pridefully takes it upon herself to fulfil her duties along with her sister.
Weaknesses/Flaws: She has in the past struggled to accommodate to new norms of the world and societal idioms regarding the world she returned to. Other than that she has in the past assumed that other's jobs have been easy, and thus bitten off more than she can chew, only to be proven in the long run that she can handle what she knows, but in the face of new responsibility scenarios, she can become too stressed if left to her own devices. She is, however aware of her flaws and willingly accepts that she has been wrong in her past deeds, and seeks to help others not make any mistake similar to those she had made.
Fears: Nopony liking her and her being rejected, the last thing she wants after 1000 years of exile is rejection, she also fears that she may not be liked as much as her sister, other than that she fears falling short of her sister in the expectations of those around her. She does not want to be seen as any less able than her sister
Overall Persona:
Princess luna, the co-ruler of equestrian is an alicorn, the younger sister of Princess Celestia. She has grown comfortable with her role as princess of the night again, and has assumed her duties with dignity and little trouble.
In the past Luna and Celestia discovered the elements and sealed Discord, the entity of chaos and disharmony away in a stone prison., they then ruled together in peace and harmony
"the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night."
However Luna eventually became bitter and envious of her sister, as their subjects played and went about their lives in the day, and slept through the night, thus leading
Luna to believe the were rejecting the nighttime, and therefore her role as the Co-Ruler. Eventually her bitterness grew, until she ended up refusing to lower the moon to make way
for the dawn her sister would bring . Her bitterness transformed her into a "wicked mare of darkness", Night Mare Moon. Celestia reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements
of Harmony and banished her "in" the moon, in order to maintain harmony in equestria
"on the longest day of the thousandth year the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal"
Luna was no longer herself, she had become the embodiment of hatred and bitterness, however with the help of the elements of harmony, luna was broken from her prison and reunited with her older sister Celestia, putting her past behind her forever, or so she thought
Upon hearing that it was the Nightmare night celebration Luna headed into ponyville to meet her subjects after her return, however folklore, with the assistance of Zecora had it so
that the goods collected were offered to an effigee of Nightmare Moon in return for their safety, a most strange practice indeed, one which really didn't make much sense in context
To save ourselves, from her searching eyes
But Night Mare Moon wants just one thing
To gobble up ponies in one quick swing
Hungrily, she soars the sky
If she sees nopony, she passes by
So if she comes and all is clear
Equestria is safe another year
Fill up her belly with a treat or two
So she won't return to come eat you"
Being oblivious to this most bizzare of traditions she landed in ponyville mid celebration, only to be met with a reaction best described as fear, upon learning that some of the ponies
recognized she was not in fact nightmare moon, she quickly befriended Twilight Sparkle, whom without, she would not be here, not in herself anyway.
Luna used, upon her arrival, archaic language such as "Thou, thee, hast, etc" and uses the royal "We" due to her absence of 1000 years, she also sometimes reverted back to her "Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice" which is often seen as intimidating and of high volume, however she sees it as the appropriate way one should address their subjects. Quickly she learned this was no way to talk due to the intimidating tone of it, resorting to a more regular voice.
More recently, however she has integrated into society so well, in fact she has become well adjusted to new language and new ideas, but of course she prefers to stick with the things that she knows, yet her friends have shown her that she can enjoy new things too, and shouldn't be afraid to try them.
Luna has now accepted that the past is the past, and that she must look to her future as princess, how her past has shaped her to be stronger than she was, through the help of her dearest friends, the elements of harmony and her sister, she has now learned her place in this once strange new world, which she now calls her home
however she often sticks to the "old ways" as that is what she knows, as she will have to learn how else to act over time, but she is assured she will be fine. After seeing her subjects
Luna has resumed her duties with no trouble, taking care of the night and protecting her subjects in that time, resuming royal duties with her sister .she has bonded well with others and has become the princess that everyone has learned to love again
"I am the princess of the night, thus it is my duty to come into your dreams."
Luna has assisted her sister in many ways since she came back, taking the night watch duties as it his her domain to rule over, this includes her ability to dream walk, as has been seen with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, offering them help in whatever way they have needed it.
Luna has played a very important role in the world of Equestria since her return, ruling with her sister, lowering the moon, and her duties over the night being only a few of those. Recently when Tirek was stealing magic she gave her power to Twilight along with the other alicorn's magic to keep it safe, once he was defeated the power returned as Twilight's kingdom was born
