This image originally started out as a sequel to my, “Bring forth the day”, and, “Bring forth the night” images. It was to have both Celestia and Luna with the sun and moon on their respective sides.

In my headcanon, Celestia raises the sun with full bedhead, because there isn’t enough light before morning for her to make herself proper.
 
Assuming she gets bedhead, of course.
