'''Princess Celestia''' is a pegasus unicorn pony with white color, a flowing mane of rainbow color, and a sun cutie mark. She is the older sister of [[Princess Luna]], and mentor of [[Twilight Sparkle]], referring to her as "My Faithful Student".
  
   
−
==Personality==
  
−
Princess Celestia is a wise and kind pony. As a teacher, she often does not directly state her goals, but rather gives the advice to help her students find the answers they need.
  
   
−
==Powers and abilities==
  
−
Being one of the two Pegasus Unicorn Ponies, Princess Celestia possess magic far beyond normal unicorn ponies. She is able to control the sun and the daytime sky, bringing them out each day and then moving them away to make room for the night, as well as, in Princess Luna's absence, the Moon as well. She likely has many other powers which have not been revealed.

''Swarm of the Century'' is the tenth episode of the first season and first aired on December 17th 2010.

==History==
  
−
===One Thousand Years Ago===
  
−
A millennium ago, the day/night cycle of Equestria was ruled by two sisters: Luna, the younger, who brought the night, and Celestia, who brought the day. The ponies of Equestria all enjoyed and loved Celestia's daylight, but were all asleep at night, causing Luna to grow jealous of Celestia's day and become Nightmare Moon, vowing to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Celestia with great sadness and regret, stopped her using the [[Elements of Harmony]], and imprisoned Nightmare Moon within the moon.

===Modern Day===
  
  +
==Episode Summary==
−
A thousand years passed peacefully under Celestia's rule, until the Summer Sun Festival was held in Ponyville. Shortly beforehand her student Twilight Sparkle informed her of the return of Nightmare Moon, to which Princess Celestia responded by sending her to gain the friends she'd need to activate the Elements of Harmony. Nightmare Moon escaped as the signs indicated, capturing Celestia and appearing in place of her at the festival.
  
  +
In a nearby field, Fluttershy was gathering flowers, finding the prettiest ones for Princess Celestia, who was planning to visit Ponyville. She then noticed a strange yet adorable creature from the Everfree Forest. While it had eaten a large basket of apples despite its small size, it didn't seem to deter Fluttershy from its sheer cuteness. She took the new creature with her to show off to her friends.
   
  +
In Ponyville, everyone was also preparing for the royal pony's arrival, including Twilight Sparkle, who wants everything to be perfect. Fluttershy showed Twilight and Pinkie Pie of the creature she found. In fact, two more appeared along with it. In awe, Twilight decided to take one off her hands so Spike can have a companion to keep him busy. Pinkie, however, reacted in disgust, recognizing it as a "[[Parasprite]]". She left, saying that she needed a trombone. Shaking off their confusion, the other ponies continued their work with their new friends, while showing the insects to the others who had taken one for themselves.
−
When she was freed by Twilight Sparkle and her friends and Nightmare Moon was transformed back into her Luna form, she forgave her sister, and explained they should rule together.
  
   
  +
[[File:Whatif.png|thumb|270px|Just be glad this is only a 'what if' scenario...]]The next day, Twilight woke to see hundreds of Parasprites in her home. While she and Spike had no idea where they came from compared to the one they had, they noticed the creatures making a mess, tossing away books and parchments. Rainbow Dash's set of the insects began annoyingly attaching to her. Rarity seemed to had grown with her swarm, until she saw that they reproduced by coughing/sneezing/hawking out other bugs, to which the glamorous unicorn became disgusted with them. Even Fluttershy had trouble communicating with them (or in her case, begging, pleading, beseeching, etc). Twilight realized that this sudden infestation would be more than a simple nuisance, with a great chance of ruining Celestia's visit. And worst of all, the problem was multiplying by the second (literally)!
−
With Equestria back to normal, Celestia allowed her student to stay in Ponyville with her friends, giving her a "mission" to study the fundamentals of friendship.
  
   
  +
Meanwhile, Pinkie was gathering random musical instruments, including a harmonica, a banjo, and a pair of maracas. No one really knew why, so they assumed she was just "being Pinkie"..
−
==Trivia==
  
−
*Princess Celestia was originally supposed to be Queen Celestia, as is logical considering her position, but Hasbro requested the name be changed as Disney has caused princesses to be associated with good and queens associated with evil. At best, we can assume that Equestria is a principality.
  
−
*Her name comes from Latin "caelum" meaning "sky" or "heaven". By analogy to her sister we might speculate that her original name was Sol.
  
   
  +
The ponies called on Applejack for help, using her herding skills, to round up the pests. They succeed in driving them back to the Everfree Forest. Unfortunately, Fluttershy thought of keeping just one Parasprite in her house. That one insect burst into thousands, and the ponies were right back where they started. Rainbow Dash managed to gather the second swarm by creating a tornado, until Pinkie came back with a pair of cymbals. Dash dodged the cymbals, but the distraction broke the tornado and released the swarm onto Ponyville. They rushed to stop the infestation, ignoring Pinkie's attempt to explain why she was gathering the instruments in the first place.
−
==Appearances==
  
   
  +
They arrived too late, watching in horror as the Parasprites began eating all of the food in the town. Twilight resorted to casting a spell to prevent them from eating the food, and it worked. But instead of making things better, they became much worse. The bugs soon began eating ''everything else'': signposts, lamps, Rarity's ensembles, and even the words from Twilight's books. Twilight showed a Parasprite to Zecora back in the Everfree Forest, hoping the zebra can find a solution. She easily recognized it, but not even she knew how to get rid of them, only stating that because of their locust-like behavior, Ponyville was doomed.

Just as she came up with a highly irrational plan due to the stress (building an exact replica of Ponyville next to the real one in less than a minute), Pinkie Pie arrived as what seemed to be a one-pony band, with all of the instruments she gathered during the crisis.

She asked Twilight if she would like to give an in-person report on friendship before she left.

The cutest swarm you'll ever see. But also, as our friends will soon learn, the most biblically destructive...


Swarm of the Century is the tenth episode of the first season and first aired on December 17th 2010.

Writer: M. A. Larson

Episode Summary

In a nearby field, Fluttershy was gathering flowers, finding the prettiest ones for Princess Celestia, who was planning to visit Ponyville. She then noticed a strange yet adorable creature from the Everfree Forest. While it had eaten a large basket of apples despite its small size, it didn't seem to deter Fluttershy from its sheer cuteness. She took the new creature with her to show off to her friends.

In Ponyville, everyone was also preparing for the royal pony's arrival, including Twilight Sparkle, who wants everything to be perfect. Fluttershy showed Twilight and Pinkie Pie of the creature she found. In fact, two more appeared along with it. In awe, Twilight decided to take one off her hands so Spike can have a companion to keep him busy. Pinkie, however, reacted in disgust, recognizing it as a "Parasprite". She left, saying that she needed a trombone. Shaking off their confusion, the other ponies continued their work with their new friends, while showing the insects to the others who had taken one for themselves.

The next day, Twilight woke to see hundreds of Parasprites in her home. While she and Spike had no idea where they came from compared to the one they had, they noticed the creatures making a mess, tossing away books and parchments. Rainbow Dash's set of the insects began annoyingly attaching to her.
