Personality
As the ruler of Equestria, Celesia holds a standard leadership personality towards most of her subjects, mainly with a caring and understanding nature though behaving more indifferent at times. Despite her role, she has shown a slightly playful and more cheeky nature on occasions, though they aren't shown too often.
History
Celestia, alongside her sister Luna, became rulers of Equestria not too long after defeating Discord, and reclaiming Equestria. She kept many creatures at bay which included Lucid, Tirek, and Sombra. However, when she found Luna turning into Nightmare Moon, she had to banish her to the moon much to her dismay, and had to take the role of ruler all by herself. This lasted for a thousand years until the Mane Six reformed Nightmare Moon and Luna made her return.
Season 1
She and Luna disappeared shortly before the invasion of the Plunder Vines, and she was unable to escape from the vines until after they were changed into flowers thanks to the Rose Fountain.
During the Equestrian Games, Celestia began to take note of Rainbow Dash's worry during her performance and went off aside to see what the problem was. After explaining to her, Celestia allowed Rainbow to go back to the Crystal Gems.
She started to show concern when told of Sombra's involvement, and when realizing about Nightmare Moon, she had Twilight Sparkle sent off to help the Gems as she stayed to get her sister back. She went to the Castle of the Two Sisters to stop Nightmare Moon, wanting peace from her, but during the fight she was found and drained of magic by Tirek. She only recovered after his defeat.
Season 2
Celestia got word of the Gems' mission to go to Homeworld from Garnet, and upon hearing so not only allowed them to go, but had Twilight try to spread friendship to Gem kind there as well. She also had the Elements of Harmony stay with her for the trip.

Season 4
She and Luna go off to visit Homeworld after a meeting was called, but mainly it was because the Diamond Dogs were stealing Homeworld Gems, and Yellow Diamond suspected her for some involvement on the matter. Celestia took it in stride and easily apprehended the Diamond Dogs, presenting them to Yellow Diamond before bringing them back to Equestria with her.
Season 5
She and Luna went to Homeworld again to check in on Blue Diamond, and tried to comfort her during their visit just before White Diamond arrived. She and Luna had to hide away during her visit.
