Princess Finlandia

—Official warning

**Finlandia Salsabila** (nickname: **Finn**), familiarly known as **Princess Finlandia** or **Princess Finn**, is a female character in the Luna the Miracle Boy series. In the Vernadsky Family, she is the wife of Prince Artemis as well as the mother of Luna (her son) and Celestia (her daughter). She is also the distant sister to President Diana, adoptive aunt of First Lady Camilla, rival woman to Keith Theresia, and counterpart woman of Principal Tony as the secretary of Canterlot Presidential University.

## Finlandia's description as the princess of the Vernadsky Family

According to her nickname – Finn is such a women's given name. This name has several origins. In some cases it is derived from the Old Norse personal name and by-name *Finna*, meaning "Sámi" or "Finlandia" (somethings that related to Finland). In some cases, the Old Norse name was a short form of other names composed with this element. In other cases, the name *Finn* is derived from Irish, meaning "white" or "fair". In the latter case, the name is a later Irish variant of *Fionn*.

In addition to her responsibility for the Petrovburger national government at Canterlot Presidential University, Finlandia has also been the motivator of Luna and Roman at different periods in time. Finlandia also wastes no time in such moments: demanding that Princess Aulia must surrender in invading Petrovburg before Allah punishes Aulia for her tyranny, and when Spike makes her aware that Luna inadvertently unleashed mass chaos onto Vernadia in his obsessive attempts to find a friendship report to send to his own mother.

In the distance from the Vernadia District that Luna travels to, Finlandia appears as the presidential secretary. When Luna's stolen moon sphere by Roman ends up in Polina's hands, she turns it over to Princess Finlandia for safekeeping.

## Special story depictions

### Holidays Unwrapped

In the Blizzard or Bust segment. Finlandia is almost fooled by the Petrovburg Heroes into thinking there is a snow day, but she is alerted to the truth by Uncle Elfa. In the Winter Break In segment, Celestia comes up with the idea of luring her outside with a plate of cupcakes and sneaking into the campus while she is distracted.

Finlandia arrives and undoes the spell, then sternly asks Luna to meet her at home. Despite Luna's fears, Finlandia does not reprimand him, telling him that he should only send a friendship report if he learns a lesson. She also decrees that the rest of the Petrovburg Heroes (including Celestia) may also send her friendship reports.

### Finland Eclipsed

In this fictional story episode, Princess Finlandia returns from Canterlot Presidential University. The episode takes place in Vernadia during Nightmare Night's Day. Despite wanting to win over the citizens of Vernadia, the townspeople are frightened of her booming voice and assertive manner. Luna tells Spike that Princess Finlandia must be having trouble adjusting after the ancestors from Equestria being gone for a thousand years.

When Finlandia tries to express her happiness with being purged of her dark powers, Luna tells Finlandia that she sounds like yelling, and Finlandia explains that she's using the Canterlot Presidential Voice, and high volume to properly address her Vernadian citizens.

Luna encourages Princess Finlandia to lower the volume of her voice, but Finlandia is hesitant. Luna recruits First Lady Camilla to help in teaching Finlandia to speak in a softer voice, and later he takes her to the Applejack House so that Dennis can show her how to be likable. For a short while, Finlandia manages to mingle with the Vernadian villagers and have fun with them, by playing games where she throws toy spiders or pumpkins onto a target. Unfortunately, Finlandia seems to show less of her former decorum, dispensing with the royal we, and speaking in a far less harsh manner.

Princess Finlandia reverts to her intimidating self after Celestia accuses her of eating Pipsqueak (Vincent's little pony) while she was saving it from drowning in the apple bob. She attempts to endear herself to the Vernadian villagers by turning toy spiders into real spiders, trying to elicit "fun" by making them crawl on their own to the bulls-eye, but the spiders only frighten everyone. The Vernadian villagers panic and flee, and after a few seconds of indecision, Finlandia stops the commotion by shouting "Be still!" in her Canterlot Presidential Voice, to the accompaniment of a crack of thunder. She then decrees in anger that since the Vernadians dishonor and insult her with the celebration, Nightmare Night's Day is canceled forever.

Thanks to Celestia's insight, Luna realizes that because of the holiday, Celestia and her entourage want to be frightened, so she arranges for Finlandia to purposefully scare them. Finlandia appears as Nightmare Moon, scares the people, and bears fangs. After the Vernadians run away in fright, she changes back to her usual appearance and spits out the false fangs she was wearing, confused as to why Luna wanted her to do that. Then Vincent approaches Finlandia on behalf of the Vernadian children and asks her to come back and scare them again next year, even though she canceled Nightmare Night's Day. Finlandia begins to understand and reinstates Nightmare Night's Day, at which point Vincent declares her "the favorite princess ever" and hugs her.

The Finland-sparkled princess manages to relinquish the use of her Canterlot Presidential Voice, and in the epilogue, she plays a variety of games with the villagers, accepts the kids' candy, and frightens Jason by firing a bolt of lightning behind him, a trick that Jason had been playing on other people throughout the night.

### Petrovburg Reformation Tales

The Fall of Princess Roman chapter shows Finlandia's time as Roman's lecturer. She tries to teach Roman the values of humility, but Roman doesn't take the lessons to heart. Roman's deep desire for power leads to Finlandia removing her from her position as Finlandia's student. When Roman escapes through the Crystal Mirror, Finlandia keeps the mirror in her house in hopes that Roman will one day return.

### Canterlot Presidential Tales

Princess Finlandia is the central character of the Princess Finlandia and the Presidential Waves – where Finlandia travels to Iceland to teach some students at Tórshavn Magic Academy.

### Battle for Petrovburg

Princess Finlandia serves as "Principal Celestia" – the true backbone of the Canterlot Presidential Army and the leader of the celestial foot archers. She is one of the heroes who extremely hates Canterlot High School and its chic soldiers – whose constitution has been empowered by Princess Aulia with her curse magic.

In The Siege of Canterlot City chapter, Luna goes to Canterlot City alone to battle and revived the citizens of Canterlot City meanwhile Princess Finlandia is initially in a neutral pose. After he meets and gives 1,500 gold to her, Luna assures Finlandia to declare the war on the Canterlot High, Finlandia and her son then join President Diana to keep Canterlot City free from the Canterlot High's assaults.

## General descriptions

Finlandia is the most friendly woman which she is the benevolent ruler over all of the Republic of Petrovburg! She and her counterpart gentleman – Tony Sirbistan, are responsible for raising the sun and the moon to create light and darkness over Petrovburg and Equestria. This magnificent princess is one of the rulers of the Republic of Petrovburg as the Canterlot Presidential secretary. Wise and kind, all of the Petrovs look up to her and depend on her. As a wise and magical lecturer, Princess Finlandia has entrusted great responsibility to her loyal son – Luna Vernadsky. Together with his friends, Luna uses the Elements of Harmony that his mother has given them to bring friendship to all of Petrovburg.

## Personality

Similar to Principal Celestia from the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls series, Princess Finlandia is depicted as a sincere woman who proudly addresses Luna as her lovely son when she mentoring him, her warmth is very embracing that it will spread the loveliness that can save the harmony around. Another relation like above one is the common outfit: consists of a Finnish beige coat with a white-violet-striped inner shirt, purple long skirt, dark purple high heels, and a cutie mark that comprises of a group of three Finnish diamonds – in which her fave combined-color has consisted of white and celestial violet, similar to Finland's national combined-color. Her role in this animation series is a play on the mythic story "Teach Like Finland".

As the Canterlot Presidential secretary. Finlandia is kind, calm, wise, and fair in her presidential duties. Throughout most of the story episodes, she speaks in a mellow and somewhat disinterested tone, but her warmth and affection show when she presents Luna with his miracle helmet. Her hair and glowing face have a natural flowing motion, even when Finlandia herself is not moving, but they stop doing so when Finlandia is weak where she dispels the "want it, need it" spell from a massive amount of affected Vernadians at once.

Later, Finlandia displays a wider range of emotion in her expression and tone, such as mild annoyance when Bellvania interrupts her speech during the pep rally and resentment toward Mrs. Principal Keith when she disparages Canterlot Presidentials, even to Luna. Against an openly hostile with Keith, Finlandia keeps her cool and wits about her, knowing what words to use to turn the tables. Finlandia also shows her resentment to the Canterlot High Soldiers for their alliance with Princess Aulia in their one mission: the terrorism over Petrovburg on behalf of Communism.
