It's a very nice piece. :3

I wouldn't worry about her being unloved though, I would think she is very beloved by her own people. A weird comparison to make but Vlad the Impaler was viewed as a monster by a good deal of the world but in his homeland he's still regarded as a hero for keeping Europe free of the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Though then she would probably find herself in the same position as Celestia with people viewing you as an enigmatic godlike figure rather than somepony who just wants friendship and love like everyone else. So yeah... how odd would it be if those two found themselves in such similar situations?

... *launches new ship* NO I'm kidding(mostly). XD
