Up-Close Detail #4: Everyone’s Favorite, the Pony! It is through this sort of reasoning that creates the concepts for the BISHOUJO designs! Princess Luna, on the other hand, is not used to it after 1,000 years being alone, so the design incorporates the idea that she would forget to hide her horn when transforming into a human. We’ve mentioned it in the previous introduction for Princess Luna, but there’s a reason for this! Princess Celestia, along with the Mane 6 girls, is supposed to be familiar with transforming into their human form. They both have it on their pony form after all!
