I was always under the opinion that Luna was always in control of her own actions so I agree with your assertion.

We spent many years in our youth in the Neighpon nation. Learning their combat styles and their wonderful use of mathematics combined with runes to perform some spectacular feats of magic.

So Prncess Luna is interested in Japanese culture?
I love her emtional expression (suprise?) in this artwork.
The mask is FOX (mysterious prankmaster).

Yes, that's traditional fox mask, and the fox, you are right, is a typical trickster in eastern cultures. But as for me, I always tended to see more than just tricks and ill intentions in typical Chinese fox tales - thought foxes when they come to humans often actually need the warmth of communication, not human life or energy. But, well, it is your culture, not mine, you know better anyway.
As for the expression, I do not exactly understand it myself. Not that I actually should to, assuming the idea of the picture.

The mask hides the emotions she hid away on the moon. Or at least that's how I see it. Looks great ^_^

Not a trickster, just woman
There is no "just," my good sir.
Lovely art. You draw the best Luna.

Something I've really wanted to see for a while now is some masked ponies. *hoping someone draws a Venetian pony soon

Is this...a Higurashi reference?

Well, not exactly. Thought about that moment from Higurashi intro, of course, as well as about number of other similar moments and pictures. But nothing related to the story or ideas behind the series, just a similar visual solution.
