"My shadow will smother the proud children of the sun. In place of a Queen of Light, they will have a Mistress of Darkness! ALL will cower and fall to their knees, and love me...or the shadows will devour them."
Nightmare Moon, also known as The Dark Mare, and The Lady of Shadow is one of the few remaining Alicorns, the sister of Celestia, and the matron of the night. Originally known as Luna, she was a loyalist Alicorn serving alongside her sister in the Hundred Years War. However, afterwards, her jealousy of the love showered upon her sister allowed her to harbor dark emotions, which led to their exploitation by the Dark Gods, who saw her as a worthy tool to unmake Equestria.
Luna was corrupted by the god of madness, Nezoth, who invaded her mind and twisted her jealousy into hate and a desire for destruction. However, she retained her awareness, but blinded with hate and rage for all creatures of light, and seeking to exact vengeance for what she came to believe was loathing from her people. During what was known as the War of Nightmares, Luna took on the name of Nightmare Moon, and led her dark minions against Celestia and her kingdom.
Though the cataclysmic conflict did much damage to the world as well as the hearts of those who once loved Luna, Celestia included, the period of strife ended when Celestia and Blue Team combined forces for the first time, and managed to defeat the mad princess. The Nightmare ended, and Nezoth's influence over Luna ended, turning her once more into the benevolent Princess Luna.
