Princess would be a better teacher for Starlight.

I feel Luna would be able handle and mentor Starlight better due to their shared history of being villians and being out of step with modern pony society. Also I think Luna would be able handle Starlight quirks and tendencies better.

What if Luna took Starlight under her wing?

Given their shared history as reformed villains, how would Starlight's initial redemption arc have changed if Princess Luna took her under her wing instead of Twilight Sparkle?

Would Starlight benefit from being tutored by Luna? What there dynamics be like?

How would Luna handle Starlight tendencies and flaws?

What would Luna tutorlage style be like?

I feel Luna would be able to handle Starlights insecurities and temptation to go to magic to solve her problems.

Offtopic: is there a fanfic like this?

I've been thinking about the technical side of early MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor used by the 2s lately From what I can gather, the insane strength boost comes from that reactive piezoelectric liquid-crystal layer (the "artificial muscle" sheath) plus all the force-multiplying circuits that basically turn a Spartan's tiny twitch into a excessive punch.

Realistically within the lore/tech, would there be a feasible way to set a limiter on that strength multiplier? Like, could you dial it down via software/firmware to lower the voltage to the muscle sheath? Like for example:

Capping the voltage/current sent to the piezoelectric layer (lower gain = lower multiplier).

Or

Using force/torque sensors + AI to enforce a hard ceiling on output (e.g., “max 2× instead of 5×”).

I feel like Halsey saying theres no way to set a limiter in fall of reach a little contrived.

"I swore I would do anything to protect this world's light. I told myself I needed the Nihilego to fight Necrozma to tear open the Ultra Wormholes and finally bring my husband home. And the venom... it didn't just numb my grief; it *enhanced* me. It made me tireless, brilliant, capable of carrying the weight of the entire foundation and the fate of Alola on my shoulders. I craved that limitless power, that manic clarity, far more than the messy, fragile reality of being a mother. In my sorrow, I became blind to the beautiful children standing right in front of me, choosing an alien addiction over their love. I forced our fusion, merging my body with the beast. To claim its perfection so desperately. And the universe obliged. That fusion didn't just empower me; it rewrote my humanity entirely. Now, the poison that made me a god is the only blood left in my veins, and I have physically mutated into the parasite I worshipped. Look at this hollow, translucent flesh. It is exactly what I deserve. A fragile, see-through cage for a woman who tried to save everything, only to let her own power poison what mattered most."
