![Development and design /Edit Princess Celestia's name comes from the word "celestial," derived from Latin "caelum," meaning "sky" or "heaven". Lauren Faust has made several comments regarding the show on her deviantArt comments section, and they sometimes pertain to Princess Celestia. She was originally supposed to be Queen Celestia, the highest authority, with no parents who outrank her. Her status was changed to "princess" at Hasbro's request.1 Faust also mentioned that, during the initial casting of the show, Kathleen Barr, Trixie's voice actress, did a 'very good" audition for Princess Celestia before Nicole Olivier ultimately got the role.[2] Appearance-wise, Princess Celestia is larger than any of the other ponies, with the exception of Night Mare Moon, who is about the same size, until she reverts to being Princess Luna. As with other unicorns, a magic glow surrounds both Celestia's horn and objects she is magically affecting. TheA color of this glow varies: for instance, it is blue in A Bird in the Hoof, orange indeviantART The Cutie Mark Chronicles, and white in Griffon the Brush-off. In The Return of Harmony Part 1, it is blue when Celestia opens the door to the vault, but pink when she levitates the empty box the Elements of Harmony are supposed to be in. The glow is yellow in the remastered title sequence introduced with Lesson Zero, as well as in that episode itself photo from Lauren Faust's IF KATHLEEN BARR DID GET THE ROLE OF CELESTIA WOULD THAT HAVE MEANT NICOLE OLIVER WOULD HAVE VOICED QUEEN CHRYSALIS](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/295/597/fdd.png "fdd.png")
