>She is in the prison of Princesshood and it is hard to tell what is greed and when is too far, especially for all the self sacrifice that she has done.
that´s an interesting observation to comment but we don´t know how much she has made to the kingdom or not.

>Though Cadence is different in that the bat form is much more on the side of indulgence than a part of herself that she has been suppressing. This makes me sympathize with her now to an extent. Though her behavior down the line could test it.
it has its details that share both things. In fact, I have liked how characters grow and take control of both sides of the coin with just their own minds. Each one will have a different context but as one would expect, one cannot act as an angel nor as a demon all the time. Celestia has been trying to hide it and trying not to hurt her image. Cadence does the latter to a lesser extent but the Crystal Empire is just a city while Celestia is ruling (or tries to rule) for Equestria.
Cadence can afford her indulgence by herself and facing the consequences as an average pony that doesn´t have anything going for her. Besides Cadence has complained that there isn´t much going on for her so she needs pleasure and "adventures". That causes a contrast from her usual passiveness and she is a princess that has yet to show mistakes in the show.

Both will feel similar in this but the actions and consequences won´t collapse. I am telling you that there are differences between both even though they share that aspect.

>she is refusing to do anything in the face of a hard choice...
Celestia is looking at two targets at the same time because she has so much going on over her head that she cannot solve any of them effectively. This part comes from personal experience. I was writing summaries and writing down notes for the days of study and I certainly achieved it. However, my mind was unfocused and I did that because of an automatized action and it didn´t require too much thought/focus into it.

When something enter into the sensible zone completely like that political change of mind in that weekend of November of 2016, then I couldn´t get out of that uncomfortable place. I couldn´t avoid thinking about it and it invaded my thoughts all the time so much that my family and friends had to stop me in several things. There was no room for comfort because my head didn´t allow me. I took politics way too personally and I felt that the world was going to jump against me for discovering some truths that unknown people would pursue me for realizing about that "top secret" info (barely a secret these days for me, it was about the elites and stuff).

So basically,I tried to apply that experience to her. She cannot avoid thinking about Daybreaker and getting invaded by her (like Luna in Magic Sheep). That awkward attraction for lava consumes her mind and that subtle dream becomes bigger and bigger and modifies her attitude. The more that she gives it attention, it grows. That tiresome question makes her less nice because she tries to find an answer and apply it for what she cannot do. What happened back then? I haven´t written it and a 1000 years is a very long period for a lot of events that the writing staff could exploit as an ultimate hype weapon (if they wanted)
