The Starpony Kingdom has four rulers: Princess Skysparkle, Prince Endearment (her son), Princess Teatime (her niece), and Princess Honeymoon (one of her niece’s distant descendants). All four rulers are alicorns. Skysparkle is the primary ruler.
Before White Night became an intelligence agent, he was a general for the Royal Guard. His sister might have more raw power, but he is better at controlling his powers. In his most emotional state, White Night has enough shielding power to protect a city from attack by a giant monster. (This does happen, including one time with his own sister) He can control the damage enough to make the situation feel more like a harmless cartoon.
White Night doesn’t rely on force to subdue monsters. He relies on psychology. He is kind and charming, but he can also be clever and intimidating. He tries to avoid needing to fight, but he is certainly ready to. Overall, White Night regards himself as a big brother watching over his fellow creatures. (In our culture, such a statement would have unfortunate implications. In his culture, such imagery has not been spoiled by George Orwell.)
