Flurry Heart is in training to become the next Queen of the Crystal Empire. Unfortunately, all the special attention inflated her ego, and she's often snappy, rude, and demanding.
Voice reference: Annika from Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus
Just grow up already, Skyla! We're not fillies anymore! (Line delivery is annoyed and snarky)
Ponies of the Crystal Empire! As your Crystal Princess, I am honored to address you today, at another successful Crystal Faire! (Line delivery is regal, public speaking voice, and just a bit artificial like someone talking to children)
Skyla... I... Need to apologize. Don't act like that! I'm just getting used to this! I've been a terrible pony, ok? I admit it! I never listened to you, I never respected you, and I didn't treat you like a big sister should. (Line delivery is trying to be genuine but having a hard time since she's hardly ever done that)
Ebony is the main antagonist of The Forgotten Crystal. A powerful unicorn, Ebony promises safety and security for the outcasts of society, but his group hides dark secrets awaiting any new members.
Voice reference: Gellert Grindelwald from Fantastic Beasts The Secrets of Dumbledore but without the British accent
This is the home of all those who have been betrayed by Equestrian society. And now it will be your home too, if you wish. (Line delivery is calm and enticing)
It's only a matter of time, Moonshadow. The armor is nearly done. Tonight we present them with it, and tomorrow... this whole Empire will be mine. (Line delivery is eager and devious but still with Ebony's signature eerie calm)
Moonshadow was a member of the Wonderbolts but was kicked out for recklessness and endangerment of fellow members. She is now Ebony's second in command, and she wants nothing more than to get revenge on the Wonderbolts and show them how far she's come without them.
Voice reference: Vi from Arcane
My job is to teach you how to defend yourselves. The world is a dark and dangerous place, and more ponies than you think are out to hurt you. But with my help, you'll be able to kick their flanks before they get the chance. (Line delivery has the same energy as Spitfire but with less vocal aggression)
Someday I'll show those pretentious Wonderbolts what I'm made of. They'll see how great they could've been with me at the helm. (Line delivery is bitter and jaded)
Maple Leaf is an orphaned pegasus who cares for her little sister, Azalea. They joined Ebony's group in the hopes of security, but soon Maple Leaf has to decide if this is really the right place for her and Azalea.
Voice reference: Mirabel from Encanto
You see, my sister and I only have each other. But San Unicorn isn't the place for two orphans. I had to fight for every scrap of food, every alley to sleep in. So as soon as I could, I got us out of there. (Line delivery is genuine and a bit nervous)
Something is wrong, Skyla. I know you see it too. He doesn't have our best interests at heart. (Line delivery is urgent and scared)
Firefly is a blind pegasus from the Children of the Night, the secret empire established by Luna over a thousand years ago. Firefly cares for the butterflies and their respective garden, and she immediately takes a liking to Skyla. When her home is put in danger, she's forced to flee in order to save everything she's ever known.
Voice reference: Periwinkle from Tinker Bell Secret of the Wings but with a British accent
This is known as Snowdrop's Garden. It acts as a tribute and memorial to her. I come here all the time. Knowing that she designed this entire garden without being able to see it... It makes me feel connected to her. I want to accomplish as much as her someday. (Line delivery is reverent and a bit wistful)
I'm scared. What if something happens to you? I've never loved anyone as much as I love you, and the thought of losing you... You can't do this! Please don't fight! (Line delivery is panicked, scared, and sad)
Azalea is an orphaned unicorn filly and the little sister of Maple Leaf. She's timid and never wants to be away from her sister.
Voice reference: Quinn from The Search for Santa Paws
Note: Azalea has rhotacism and pronounces "r" sounds as "w" sounds
Um... I'm... Azalea, sir. I don't got a cutie mark yet. But I'll get one soon! (Line delivery is timid and scared but trying to be bold)
Miss Princess, um, Skyla, thank you for saving us! It was scary there! (Line delivery is timid but happy)
Apple Spice is Apple Bloom's daughter. Her mother had her young, and between her job and Spice's absentee father, much of Spice's upbringing was left to the larger Apple family. Spice grew up feeling neglected and became resentful towards her parents, and eventually her entire family. She decides to run away, and comes across Ebony's group, where she's finally able to thrive and hopefully prove her worth to her parents.
Voice reference: Octavia from Helluva Boss but with an American accent
Note: Apple Spice has a slight southern accent, but tries to hide it so it only comes out occasionally
With all due respect, sir, Earth Ponies aren't weak. I don't need wings or fancy magic to get things done. I do everything with my own hooves. (Line delivery is confident and challenging)
My parents were never there for me! They didn't even raise me! Why would I ever go back to them, let alone forgive them? And what did the rest of my family do when I got dumped on them? Nothing! They were too busy with their own families to even think twice about me! I learned early that you only have yourself in this world. (Line delivery is angry, resentful, bitter, and a bit sad)
Nyx is Twilight's adopted daughter, and is a member of the royal guard. She has been assigned to the Crystal Empire to act as Flurry Heart's bodyguard, as well as find and train a replacement bodyguard for when she has to return to Canterlot. She ends up being in the Empire at the perfect time, as she's able to help them defend the Empire from a deadly threat.
Voice reference: Catra from She-Ra
The Empire is under attack!? We have to gather the troops and get the royals to safety! (Line delivery is frantic but serious)
I'm stationed in the Empire to act as the bodyguard to the Crystal Princess. I can't stay forever, so I'm also going to be evaluating and training potential replacements while I'm here. (Line delivery is informative and a bit excited)
Smoky Quartz is Flurry Heart's boyfriend and childhood best friend. He is kind hearted, brave, and noble, learning what it means to be royalty.
Voice reference: Kovu from The Lion King 2
I've known you since we were foals, Skyla, and I never thought of you as a brave pony. But I see now just how wrong I was. (Line delivery is sincere and a bit admiring)
I know I'm still in training, but I'm ready to fight. I want to protect my home and my Princess. (Line delivery is determined and confident)
