Thanks!
About lore and symbolism - this is my Dark Souls and Elden Ring inspired redesign of Celestia (I did Luna as well). There are few layers of symbolism. First one is Alchemy. Celestia represents Red King (sulfur) and Luna White Queen (Mercury), because of the Sun and Moon elements. Together they form Rebis - symbolism only, I ignored male and female part, it’s just about their reign and Harmony. I gave her phoenix neclace, because of Philomena, fire and immortality of alicorns.
Also, this is battle version of Celestia, I’ll do her other self later.
“Being merciful deity, Celestia covers her eyes even when she goes to the battle. One look at her uncovered visage is enough to melt mortal body and soul, because she is the Sun and primordial fire herself.”

Woah, magnificent! Quite mystic, make to wonder what could be the symbolism and the story behind
