Now let's say you watch the opening two pilot episodes...and this recent Luna episode. What have you learned about Luna's character? She's socially awkward and wants to make friends. O.k., that could apply to Twilight or Zekora or damn near any pony if the authors decide they want to cover social awkwardness again (Rainbow Dash with the wonderbolts, Fluttershy sometimes, Rarity with the prince, the CMC with kids who have their cutie mark). Obviously this isn't exactly a defining trait in FiM. Is there anything else we can determine about her character? Some level of snobbery, I guess?

Kidding aside, this is basically my problem: she has no character. "But it's a different kind of awkward!!" seems like grasping at straws to me. You have this fan-favorite secondary character within a big chunk of your community; why make her not only boring (and somewhat annoying), but a retread of stuff you've done before?
