Luster Dawn's canon personality seems to be a mashup of season 1 Twilight ("i don't need friends") and Starlight ("i'm certain i know better than you, actual alicorn princess"), and, well, been there, done that. Gonna make some tweakssss to her
Luster Dawn is a student of magic, as encouraged by her father Sunburst and bio mom/"auntie" Starlight Glimmer. Her real passion, however, lies in inventing. She greatly idolizes her dad, Flash Sentry, and wishes nothing more than to fly like him someday. When Starlight eagerly informs Luster she knows a powerful sustained levitation spell, Luster politely declines, saying she wants to craft a mechanical set of wings not reliant on unicorn magic, so the gift of flight can be shared with the world. Starlight considers this a silly pipe dream, and really wishes Luster would spend less time looking like a greasemonkey and more time studying to be a proper mage- perhaps even a protege to one of the princesses eventually....perhaps (Starlight hopes), a princess herself, someday.
Unfortunately Luster isn't remotely interested in becoming a princess......she's honestly not even sure she's interested in being a mare at all. I think for now, Luster is okay with being addressed as she/her, but she's still figuring herself out. Most likely, she (he) is transmasculine.
Despite being chipper and relatively well-adjusted, Luster isn't especially interested in making friends. Friends feel like a distraction from her work, and friendships are more trouble than they're worth to maintain. Curiously enough, because Luster doesn't try to force friendship, she gets along surprisingly well with her cousin/older sister, Midnight Abyss. They can sometimes be spotted studying/tinkering together in enjoyable quiet, escaping the nosy gaze of their parents. Luster is kind, creative, excitable, and a bit of a goody-two-shoes, much like her dads. However she shares Starlight's shrewd intelligence and ego, as well as her irritability (though much like Starlight, Luster typically hides her anger behind a sugary-sweet smile).
Sometime soon, Luster will take a mechanic job onboard a Las Pegasus vacation zeppelin. The same zeppelin frequently featuring one rather lonely star singer, Miss Glitzi Gladmane.....
