My psychological connection between MLP: FiM and Space Battleship Yamato

This morning, I realized that I like the character of Princess Celestia from “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” because she reminds me of my first animation waifu.  That character is Queen Starsha of the planet Iscandar - from the original “Space Battleship Yamato” television series.  These two fictional characters both are intelligent and educated leaders while possessing stately verbal and nonverbal mannerisms, as well as having regal bodies and heavenly hair.  In addition, these two are both secondary characters who guide their series main protagonists to success with encouragement and information.
