1000 years ago, in the land of Equestria, two alicorn sisters ruled over the other ponies: Celestia and Luna. Celestia was the Goddess of the day, bringing forth the sun, while Luna was the Goddess of the night, bringing forth the moon. After many years of rule, Luna grew jealous of her sister, who's day the ponies played in, while her night was slept through unnoticed. She attempted to overthrow Celestia, who wielded the Elements of Harmony to seal her in the very moon that she raised, and taking complete control of Equestria herself. Over the years, Luna's jealousy and hatred grew, transforming her into the fearsome Nightmare Moon, who awaited the day that the stars aligned to aid her escape...

Nightmare Moon is a strange character indeed. She's large but lanky, reaching Bowser's width simply due to being on all four feet, and also reaching Ganon's height, though without much mass below her main body. She's light for her size, too, seeing as she's part Pegasus, and she's slow, her dash being nothing more than a royal trot. She's fairly good in the air, but she's floaty, making her a big, slow, awkward target.
Specials
Neutral Special O Obscure the Day
Nightmare Moon laughs, as smoke begins to swirl from her horn and around her. If she can't have her eternal night, she'll have the sun blocked! The smoke spreads at a rate of 1 SBU per 1.5 seconds, and will continue to do so for as long as the Neutral Special is held. This smoke, which has the color and dotted stars of a beautiful night, obscures the area it covers completely, though it does leave foes able to see where they're going: opponents and their minions cast a shadow against the starry sky, letting foes see where they are going, though traps and stage hazards remain invisible. Nightmare Moon is not a physical fighter, she prefers to play through deception and disguise, and of course, she loves keeping people in the dark...
Up Special O Nightmare Transport
Nightmare Moon transforms into a swirl of starry-looking smoke, which then shoots forward. Players can control the movement of this willowy form for 3 seconds, moving with full directional capabilities at Sonic's dash speed, before she transforms back with a woosh, sending the smokey remains out to both sides, which deal 5% damage and pushback to anyone it touches. The motivation to use this move, however, lies in your smokey mist: it allows you to travel through and sneak up on unsuspecting foes without them ever seeing you, as it hides your shadow from the screen...
Forward Special O Base Breaker
Nightmare Moon lights her horn again as she transforms into that same looking swirl and sinks into the ground.
Down Special O Shadowbolts
The Shadowbolts are an illusion used by Nightmare Moon in an attempt at seducing Rainbow Dash into leaving the Elements of Harmony behind without a way of crossing a chasm (minus the other pegasus and incredibly powerful unicorn in the group). They are an expy of the famous Wonderbolts
