There are those little cameos where she seems like she's got some dark and mysterious motivation, like the glower she gives Twilight on her way to the Crystal Empire, or how she's all like :speakest: STAY INDOORS TWILIGHT SPARKLE in ACW. But in between those, and aside from her "official" interactions with the CMCs, her appearances have been fairly low-key and lacking in characterization.

Like "Did I miss anything?"

I'm still convinced that someone at somepoint well after the script was done pointed out Luna was missing from ACW, and that's why she's shoehorned in.


I do think that Luna should have shown a bit more levity dealing with the CMC. They're kids, and she comes off very cold and emotionless. She doesn't have to be as wacky as the comics "off duty" Luna, but something to make her seem less like a Vulcan.

I've always liked the idea that the majority of Equestria's adults are still rather cautious and even slightly fearful of Luna, but the kids don't have those preconceptions of her or her past (other than the Nightmare Night stories) and even think she's really cool. There's not much in the canon that suggests any of this, of course, other than Luna isn't really seen around other ponies alone except for the CMC, and they think she's pretty groovy.
