My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: The Fandub of Harmony
Project Overview
What is this?
This is going to be a fandub for season 1 of the animated series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Stick around for the long run if you're cast folks because we plan on dubbing not only the rest of the show but also Equestria Girls.
For those of you unfamiliar with the series, in the kingdom of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle, a studious unicorn, travels to Ponyville to learn about friendship at the urging of Equestria's ruler (and her mentor) Princess Celestia. Twilight and Spike, her dragon assistant, become close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. The ponies discover that they represent different facets of friendship, with magical artifacts known as Elements of Harmony. They have adventures and help others in and around Equestria, solving problems in their friendships.

Twilight Sparkle is the central main character of the series. She is a female unicorn pony who eventually transforms into an Alicorn and becomes a princess. At the beginning of the show, she and Spike, her best friend and assistant, move from Canterlot to Golden Oak Library in Ponyville to study the magic of friendship. Twilight represents the element of magic. Before becoming a princess, she regularly sends friendship reports to Princess Celestia. Twilight has a love for books and knowledge, always turning to them when she needs answers. Twilight tries to be rational in unfamiliar situations, however, she can lose her cool under stress. Twilight has a knack for organization and is exceptionally talented at magic.
Line 1:
[Angry at the ponies partying]
All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?!Line 2:
[Delivering a letter to Princess Celestia]
Dear Princess Celestia, Today I learned something amazing. Everypony everywhere has a special magical connection with her friends, maybe even before she's met them. If you're feeling lonely and you're still searching for your true friends, just look up in the sky. Who knows? Maybe you and your future best friends are all looking at the same rainbow.Line 3:
[Excited about having her first Slumber Party]
Hee-hee! Isn't this exciting? We'll do everything by the book, and that will make my slumber party officially fun.Line 4:
[Spiralling into a 'What If' scenario, Starting calm, then freaking out more and more]
That would be nice, Spike, but what if something else came up while we were gone? What if we were delayed getting back and I wasn't able to finish everything on that list? What if we lost the list on the way to Ponyville and then couldn't remember which things we'd done and which things we hadn't done, and then spent so much time trying to figure out what we hadn't done and what we had done, and we ruined the entire Celebration by not doing the one really important thing that we were supposed to do?![Singing Winter Wrap Up]
Now that I know what they all do
I have to find my place
And help with all of my heart
Tough task ahead I face
How will I do without my magic
Help the Earth pony way
I wanna belong so I must
Do my best today,
Do my best today!
Pinkie Pie, full name Pinkamena Diane Pie, is an energetic and sociable baker at Sugarcube Corner, where she lives on the second floor with her toothless pet alligator Gummy, and she represents the element of laughter. Pinkie writes and performs many songs, and she is the source of many of the show's comical and cartoonish gags. Pinkie is hyperactive, excitable, quirky, and outgoing, often speaking and acting in non-sequiturs. She warmly welcomes new faces such as Twilight Sparkle and Cranky Doodle Donkey. True to the element of laughter she represents, she loves to make ponies smile and laugh. Pinkie tends to have a lighthearted manner in serious situations. As a result, she is often not taken seriously even by her closest friends, who occasionally call her out on her seemingly illogical behavior. Pinkie frequently performs cartoonish feats, such as eye-bulging, wild takes, and unusually angled cuts into the frame. Pinkie Pie is known for being an avid party-thrower. She's even shown to throw parties on completely random occasions. On occasion, Pinkie Pie shows an insecure side of her personality, doubting her friends or herself. Pinkie frequently performs songs and plays a variety of musical instruments in the series.
Line 1:
[Rambling Excitedly]
Isn't this exciting? Are you excited because I'm excited I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went (gasps) but I mean really, who could top that?Line 2:
[Referring to her Party Cannon]
Oh, I never leave home without my party cannon.Line 3:
[Angry at Applejack for breaking a Pinkie Promise]
Applejack! (deeply) You Pinkie Promised!!Line 4:
[Freaking out about the gift restriction]
Wait. So instead of lots of presents, I only buy one of you a present? What kind of game is this?![Singing The Smile Song]
It's true some days are dark and lonely
And maybe you feel sad
But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad
There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile
And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smileI really am so happy
Your smile fills me with glee
I give a smile I get a smile
And that's so special to me'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam
Yes I do
Tell me what more can I say to make you see
That I do
It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam
Yes it always makes my day
Rainbow Dash maintains the weather and clears the skies in Ponyville. As a huge fan of the Wonderbolts, she becomes a reservist member of the elite flying group and eventually a full member. She represents the element of loyalty. Rainbow is extremely competitive and hates losing. Rainbow Dash displays confidence in herself and her physical abilities multiple times in the series. She's known for being brash and brutally honest sometimes, as well as having a mischievous side, particularly when it comes to pranks. Rainbow Dash is often self-conscious in regards to how she appears in front of others. She often dismisses things, activities, and certain mannerisms considered to be feminine, though this is at times merely a front. She's primarily known for her signature flying move, the Sonic Rainboom.
Line 1:
[To Twilight, Defensive]
Hey. I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat.Line 2:
[To Rarity, Nonchalant about her dress]
It needs to be about twenty-percent cooler.Line 3:
[To Spitfire, Stern regarding Lightning Dust's actions]
No disrespect ma'am, but there's a big difference between pushing yourself as hard as you can, and just being reckless. And if being reckless is what gets rewarded around here, if that's what it means to be a Wonderbolt, then I don't want any part of it.Line 4:
What would she do without us? Huh. Lemme think. [imitating Rarity] "Darlings, I'm absolutely doomed, doomed, doomed!" [laughs, normal] I sound just like her![Singing At the Gala]
Been dreamin'
I've been waitin'
To fly with those great ponies
The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks
Spinning 'round and having kicks
Perform for crowds of thousands
They'll shower us with diamonds
The Wonderbolts will see me right here at the Gala!
Applejack lives and works at Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother Granny Smith, her older brother Big McIntosh, her younger sister Apple Bloom, and her dog Winona. She represents the element of honesty. Applejack is a brave, reliable, strong, mature, and hard-working pony, although headstrong about doing things on her own. Applejack speaks with a Southern American accent, a thick southern drawl, similar to the accent of the southwestern Missouri and Oklahoma Ozarks, where there is a great number of apple orchards. She has no reservations about getting dirty or messy or having any proper eating etiquette, much to Rarity's dismay. She almost always wears a light brown stetson hat, which she usually removes before sleeping. She is the only one of the six main characters to keep her mane and tail tied back in a "ponytail". Applejack takes great pride in her hat and seldom goes anywhere without it. Applejack is occasionally very stubborn and inflexible, causing her to be hostile toward others or incapable of seeing alternate solutions to a problem. Applejack is often shown to be one of the more empathetic members of the main cast, putting the needs and feelings of others before her own. On occasion, Applejack gets carried away with her empathy, especially with Apple Bloom.
Line 1:
[To Rainbow Dash, Confident]
You're a mighty good athlete. I'm just better.Line 2:
[To Rarity, Regarding Spike seeing them get Dressed]
Uh, beg pardon, Rarity, but uh, we don't normally wear clothes.Line 3:
[Excited, Finally having her cutie mark back]
Yee-haw! Finally I can buck like a five-bit snake herder in an Appleloosa ranch house again!Line 4:
[Comforting Coloratura]
Now, now, don't go gettin' yourself into a tizzy there, Rara. Svengallop turned you into Countess Coloratura and acted like your friend so he could enjoy the perks that came with bein' a star. But the real perk of friendship is gettin' to see your friend bein' true to their self. And Rara, when you're simply yourself, you're the brightest star I've ever seen shine.[Singing Apples to the Core]
We've traveled the road of generations
Joined by a common bond
We sing our song 'cross the pony nation
From Equestria and beyond(Applejack and Apple Bloom)
We're Apples forever, Apples together
We're family, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Apples to the core
Rarity is Sweetie Belle's older sister and the subject of Spike's long-term crush. Rarity works as both a fashion designer and a seamstress at her shop in Ponyville, the Carousel Boutique. She has a white Persian cat named Opalescence. She represents the element of generosity. Rarity has a love for others' beauty as well as her own. Rarity's mannerisms are similar to those of Scarlett O'Hara, the histrionic anti-heroine of Gone With the Wind. Many of Rarity's lines are rephrased from lines Scarlett says in the 1939 movie. Her vocabulary is formal, and she is prone to use complex words and more sophisticated, refined phrasing than her friends. As a fashionista, she often uses French-based terms in her vernacular. She speaks with a cultivated trans-Atlantic dialect and shares some mannerisms with similarly accented Hollywood actresses, such as Katharine Hepburn. Rarity sometimes gets carried away with her attention to detail. While Rarity cares about her appearance quite a bit, being averse to stepping in mud or risking getting herself messy, she is not above getting her hooves dirty when it comes to helping her friends or creatures in need.
Line 1:
[Melodramatic]
Of all the worst things that could happen, this is the! Worst! Possible! Thing!Line 2:
[Defending her friends against the Canterlot 1%]
They may not be as sophisticated as some of you Canterlot ponies, but they are my best friends. And they are without a doubt the most important ponies I know.Line 3:
[Grateful for Twilight Helping, then Instantly Aggressive for her "Diamond"]
Thank you, Twilight. But don't get any ideas about my gem! I know where you liveLine 4:
[Talking about being Crystalized, Giddy]
I do so wish it was permanent! Did you see how my mane just absolutely sparkled?[Singing Becoming Popular]
See how they hang on every word that I speak
My approving glance is what they all seek
I'm the creme de la creme, not just another Jane Doe
I'm the type of pony every pony should knowAt home, at the opera, on a fancy yacht
Becoming the talk, the talk of all of Canterlot
I'm the creme de la creme, not just another Jane Doe, yeah
I'm the type of pony every pony, every pony should knowBecause I'm the type of pony
Yes, I'm the type of pony
Yes, I'm the type of pony every pony should know
Fluttershy lives in a small cottage near the Everfree Forest and takes care of animals, the most prominent of her charges being Angel the bunny. She represents the element of kindness. As her name might suggest, she is incredibly timid and easily frightened. She has a warm heart though and will try to show kindness towards anyone she meets. Despite her typically shy behavior, Fluttershy occasionally demonstrates more assertiveness and confidence. She's also shown a more aggressive side on rare occasions. Despite being a Pegasus, Fluttershy does not usually help with the weather and does not use her wings as much as the other winged ponies. Fluttershy's special talent is communicating with animals, which she uses to provide them with food, medical attention, and other forms of care when they need it. In addition, a host of animals have taken up residence in her home, which she attends to and looks after on an everyday basis. "The Stare" is the name given to a particular ability Fluttershy employs when dealing with misbehaving animals. This ability is powerful as it can 'control' chickens up to her pet bunny, Angel. However, Fluttershy doesn't really like to use the Stare. Only when someone's life is in danger or to maintain order, the Stare is used.
Line 1:
[Helping a bird, Kind and sweet]
Um, excuse me, sir. I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny tiny bit off.Line 2:
[Trying to introduce herself, Shy]
Um... I'm Fluttershy.Line 3:
[To the dragon, Angry at hurting her friends]
How dare you? How dare you! Listen here, mister. Just because you're big doesn't mean you get to be a bully. You may have huge teeth, and sharp scales, and snore smoke, and breathe fire. But you do not—I repeat—You do not! Hurt! My! Friends! You got that?Line 4:
[Excited to see a bunch of baby dragons]
Baby... dragon... hatching season?! [gasps] All those cute little snouts poking out of those adorable little shells?! Teeny, tiny, twitchy tails?! Can I go too?![Singing So Much More to Me]
Do you think the coast is clear?
No one to see, no one to hear
Me sing out my song?
I think we're all aloneI don't need my name in lights
That's not where I set my sights
No, oh-oh, no, not me
I don't need a stage to singI like the quiet, I like the calm
To turn it up, to sing along
I'm not just shy
Look close, and you will see
There's so much more to me
Spike is a male "pre-teen" dragon. He is Twilight's best friend and number one assistant. He can magically deliver scrolls to and from Princess Celestia with his fire breath, which is featured in much of the show. He also has a huge crush on Rarity. Spike is occasionally sarcastic and sometimes laughs at others' misfortunes, even though he usually means well. Spike is often defensive about his masculinity and dismissive of things he considers "girly," although his outward disdain is often a front.
Line 1:
[Fantasizing Rarity seeing him with a Mustache]
Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache. (laughs)Line 2:
[Cracking up at the Ponies' looks from Poison Joke]
This is hilarious! Look at all of you! We got: Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Apple Teeny, Flutterguy, and... uh... I got nothin'... Twilight Sparkle. I mean seriously, I can't even work with that...!Line 3:
[Trying to calm down Twilight's Paranoia]
Oh, please! You're the most studious student ever! I'm sure the princess will forgive you if you miss one little deadline.Line 4:
[Having Observed Starlight's Freakout]
And I thought Twilight was the master of the freak-out.[Singing A Changeling Can Change]
Would you say I'm a hero
Glorious and brave
If I told you something you wouldn't believe?This changeling, it seems
Knows the real me
And would stay by my side 'til the endSo if day can turn to night
And the darkness turn to light
Then why can't we imagine
Just why can't we imagine
Then why can't we imagine a changeling can change?
Princess Celestia is the co-ruler of Equestria alongside her younger sister Princess Luna, and the adoptive aunt of Princess Cadance. In addition to her responsibility of raising the sun, she has also been the teacher of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer at different periods in time, often addressing Twilight as "my faithful student" while teaching her. She has a pet phoenix named Philomena. Princess Celestia acts as a mentor to Twilight Sparkle. She often does not directly state her goals but rather gives advice to help her student find the answers she needs. Despite being royalty, she often encourages her subjects to relax through the use of jokes and gentle questions. She also shows great patience with any inappropriate behavior towards her. While kindhearted and slow to anger, Celestia's patience does have its limits.
Line 1:
[To Twilight, Very Kind and Nurturing]
I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.Line 2:
[To Luna who has Turned into Nightmare Moon, Frustrated]
Luna, I will not fight you! You must lower the moon, it is your duty!Line 3:
[To Twilight, Excited over what happened with Discord]
Can you imagine how dull it would have been if I hadn't invited Discord? Come on! Whoo! The night is still young!Line 4:
[To Twilight about her student Starlight, Snarky]
So you have an overachieving student. Sounds familiar.[Singing Celestia's Ballad]
You've come such a long, long way
And I've watched you from that very first day
To see how you might grow
To see what you might do
To see what you've been through
And all the ways you've made me proud of youIt's time now for a new change to come
You've grown up and your new life has begun
To go where you will go
To see what you will see
To find what you will be
For it's time for you to fulfill your destiny
Princess Luna, known as Nightmare Moon in the past, is the younger sister of Princess Celestia. She is also the adoptive aunt of Princess Cadance. After spending a thousand years in the moon as Nightmare Moon, the Elements of Harmony restore Luna to her former self and she returns to rule over Equestria alongside her older sister.
Much like many archetypal, over-the-top villains, Nightmare Moon is overly confident in herself and dramatically declares that the protagonist is a fool or foal for thinking she can defeat her and that the night will last forever. She is portrayed as vicious and maniacal.
As Princess Luna, she displays kindness and offers wise advice to ponies in their dreams when they need it. She also feels remorse for her past as Nightmare Moon.
AS LUNA
Line 1:
[To Starlight, Wise]
I see much of myself in you, Starlight Glimmer, and I can tell you from personal experience that things do indeed get better.Line 2:
[To Celestia, Soft]
Rest, my sister. As always, I will guard the night.AS NIGHTMARE MOON
Line 1:
[Boastful]
Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever! (Laughs Maniacally)Line 2:
[To Twilight, Deadpan]
You're kidding. You're kidding, right?[Singing Luna's Future]
I see a cold wind blowing through
I see days neither fun nor free
I see a future caused by you
I see a path not meant to beThe future should be filled with magic
Dreams and wishes brought to life
But the days ahead are dark and tragic
No time for hope when all is strifeWhatever might have been
All the dreams that ponies share
Because of you, Snowfall Frost
Now the future is a cold nightmare
Apple Bloom is the younger sister of Applejack and Big McIntosh and granddaughter of Granny Smith. Apple Bloom is one of the founding members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, a club/"secret" society devoted to helping ponies earn their cutie marks, along with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. She is a brave, independent filly who isn't afraid to get into dangerous situations. For the majority of the show, Apple Bloom's goal in life was to get a cutie mark, having grown sick of being called a blank flank. Despite her independence, she is very close to her sister, Applejack, and enjoys helping her with the farm chores, as well as competing with her in the Sisterhooves Social competition.
Line 1:
[Speed-talking to Rainbow Dash about wanting a Cutie Mark]
(Inhales) There's a cute-ceañera this afternoon and everypony in my class will be there and they'll all have their cutie marks and I wanna get my cutie mark but I'm no good at sellin' apples but I really wanna go to the party but how can I go to the party if I don't have my cutie mark which my big sister says I'm gonna get eventually but... I WANT IT NOW!Line 2:
[Panicking]
How could I've forgotten the time? How could I forgot Pinkie Pie was hosting the party? How could I forgotten it was at Sugarcube Corner?!Line 3:
[Speaking French, NOTE: It'll probably help if we have someone who took a few French classes]
Sacrebleu!! Plus de marque de cutie! Qu'est-ce que c'est?! Je parle français?Line 4:
[To Sweetie Belle, Confused & Astonished]
Wait a minute, let me get this straight. Are you talkin' about my brother?[Singing On My Own]
I never imagined myself out on my own
Tryin' to find out what's next for me
The Cutie Mark Crusaders have always been my home
Maybe now there's more that I could beI guess as time goes by
Everypony has to go out on their own
And maybe someday I'll have to try
Somethin' new that's just for me
A little somethin' that could be
Just my own and I won't feel so left behind
Scootaloo is a Pegasus filly. She and her friends, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle form the Cutie Mark Crusaders, a club/"secret society" devoted to helping ponies earn their cutie marks. She is a talented scooter driver. Scootaloo is energetic and tomboyish, much like her idol Rainbow Dash. Although they aren't related, Scootaloo views Rainbow Dash as an older sister throughout the series, much in the same way that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle look up to their sisters, Applejack and Rarity, respectively. Unlike most foals her age, Scootaloo hasn't been able to master flying.
Line 1:
[To Diamond Tiara, Defending Apple Bloom]
It means she could be great at anything. The possibilities are, (mocking Diamond Tiara) like, endless.Line 2:
[To Sweetie Belle, Snarky]
What are you, a dictionary?Line 3:
[To Rainbow Dash, Upset]
(sighs) I'm so, so sorry, Rainbow Dash! I just wanted you to hang out with me and see how cool I was so you'd take me under your wing, teach me everything you know, and become like my big sister! (takes a breath) But then you started telling those spooky stories and I got scared! I thought I heard The Headless Horse so I ran out here by myself, and... (crying) ...well, I guess you know the rest. (sniffling)Line 4:
[Happy with her Life]
I don't care if I ever get my cutie mark as long as I get to hang out with my best friends.[Singing Hearts Strong As Horses]
We're the toughest little ponies in town
Got the moves, got the mojo, no harder working ponies around
We are a trio, work as a team
We'll be the first ponies out on the flag-waving sceneWe get going when the going gets tough
We know our very best is just never enough
We're kinda short, but so what? We don't get defeated
We could take a little break, but we don't need itWe've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hea-a-a-arts, hearts strong as horses
Sweetie Belle is Rarity's younger sister. She and her friends, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, form the Cutie Mark Crusaders, a club/"secret society" devoted to helping ponies earn their cutie marks. True to her name, Sweetie Belle is very kindhearted and innocent. Despite this, she is often mischievous, vain, naive, and impetuous. However, Sweetie Belle remains positive and well-meaning in times of crisis, especially if she is responsible. Sweetie Belle has a natural gift for singing, though she's not a fan of the idea of singing in front of a crowd. Sweetie Belle deeply admires her older sister Rarity and tries to show her devotion by helping Rarity with her work and chores. Despite her good intentions, Sweetie Belle's efforts are frequently disastrous, much to the dismay of Rarity.
Line 1:
[Defending Apple Bloom]
She could be a great scientist, or an amazing artist, or a famous writer. She could even be mayor of Ponyville someday.Line 2:
[To Apple Bloom, Confused]
You're... making... grape juice? Rarity would call the fashion police on me if I got grape juice anywhere near her precious outfits.Line 3:
[Shouting, Exasperated]
Oh, COME ON!Line 4:
[To Apple Bloom, Unsure]
I don't think Rarity would let me travel to the far reaches of Equestria looking for cutie mark problems.[Singing We'll Make Our Mark]
We started out just three
Crusaders driven to see
What we find in our hearts
Discover our destinyAnd here we are, best friends
About to start it again
An adventure that never will endWe'll make our mark
Helping fillies most in need
We'll make our mark
So each one of them succeeds
'Cause the ultimate reward is a cutie mark!
Diamond Tiara is the daughter of Filthy and Spoiled Rich. She and Silver Spoon are classmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Diamond Tiara is generally shown to be rude, shallow, stuck up, sarcastic, and nasty. Her closest (if not only) friend appears to be Silver Spoon, who often acts as a follower and is usually seen by her side. She sees those without their cutie marks as inferior and tauntingly refers to them as "blank flanks". Despite the Cutie Mark Crusaders often being the subject of her ridicule, she will try to "befriend" them if something is in it for her.
[Annoyed]
I don't know why we had to sit through a lecture about getting a cutie mark. I mean, waiting for your cutie mark is sooo last week.[Frustrated]
Feelings? I don't care about feelings! Gabby Gums is my bread and butter, and I'm not gonna let you goody-two-horseshoes take that away from me![Singing The Pony I Want To Be]
I've been told my whole life
What to do, what to say
Nopony showed me that
There might be some better wayAnd now I feel like I'm lost
I don't know what to do
The ground is sinking away
I'm about to fall throughWould you believe
That I've always wished I could be somepony else?
Yet I can't see
What I need to do to be the pony I want to beTo be the pony I want to be
Silver Spoon is the best friend of Diamond Tiara. She and Diamond Tiara are classmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Silver Spoon shares many similar traits with Diamond Tiara such as being snooty, stuck-up, and petty, often calling other ponies without cutie marks "blank flanks". However, she seems to be the follower, with Diamond Tiara being the leader. They share a special hoofshake and Silver Spoon appears to show some genuine concern for her feelings.
[Mocking]
It's not like being the only pony there without a cutie mark would be, like, the most embarrassing thing ever.[Unimpressed, To Apple Bloom]
Spinning a hoop around your waist? Puh-lease.[Calling out Diamond Tiara]
I tried to help by mentioning your 'surprise' statue, and suddenly, I wasn't even allowed to speak! You could have actually won this election if you just listened to me. You wanna know how? (Whispered) Sorry. I'm not allowed to speak.
Snips is a colt from Ponyville who is usually seen in the company of his friend Snails. He is an energetic kid yet he also has a cunning and sneaky mind.
[To Spike, Smug]
The Great and Powerful Trixie vanquished an Ursa Major. Can your Twilight claim that?I object! I think the word 'awesome' is played out! Rainbow Dash deserves better! I motion that we declare her the most stupendous pony!
[Regarding Trixie with the Alicorn Amulet]
I miss the days when she was just a fraud!
Snails is a schoolpony who resides in Ponyville and is often seen with his friend Snips. He's known to be the slow follower one of the two colts, while Snips is more of the conniving planner. He also speaks with a Canadian accent.
[To Spike, distracted by him saying 'Pudding']
I like pudding.[To Snips, answering if he's thinking what Snips is thinking]
Why is it they call it a flea market when they don't really sell fleas?You could do what I do and not think about it. Seriously. I don't think about anything. Ever.
Big McIntosh is the older brother of Applejack and Apple Bloom and a member of the Apple family. Big McIntosh has a rather calm and easy-going demeanor in contrast with that of his sister, Applejack. He is a pony of few words and, like the rest of his family, he speaks with a Missouri Ozarks-like accent. He tends to answer questions or reaffirm things with a taciturn "eeeyup" or "nnope". He is hard to agitate. Big Mac has a close bond with his sisters and cherishes his relationships with them. Though he typically speaks few words as mentioned above, Big Mac demonstrates an articulate vocabulary when he needs to.
Line 1:
Eeyup.Line 2:
Nnnope.Line 3:
[As Cousin Orchard Blossom]
Well, I do declare! It's hotter today than the business end of a corncob pipe!Line 4:
[To Apple Bloom, Somber]
When you were little, you used to look up to me, thought I was the best thing since zap apple jam. Things are different now. Applejack's the hero of the Apple family, always rushin' off to save Equestria. And I'm just here on the farm, doin' chores, helpin' out the way I can, nothin' special, nobody's hero. I guess I just thought... oh, never mind. Here I am about to start blabberin' on about my feelin's. You don't wanna hear all this.[Singing Battle for Sugar Belle]
We'll take a walk down by the river
Watch the sunset from the field
We'll plant the seeds of love together
And water 'em right for a really good yieldSugar Belle, sweet as pie
You're the apple of my eye
A cherry blossom in a field of rye
And when the heifer's milked and fed
And the pigs are in the sty
Won't you be there by my side?
Granny Smith is Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Big McIntosh's paternal grandmother. Like nearly all of the Apple family's cutie marks, hers is an apple-based product, in this case, a pie. She's known to be stubborn, much like Applejack, but also kind and wise to her grandchildren and anyone willing to listen.
[To Applejack, Stern]
Now, Applejack, I taught you better than to question your elder ponies![To Apple Bloom, Telling a story]
Well, I wasn't always this way... Time was, I was an aquapony all-star! In fact, I was the only Apple to ever come close to breaking the Equestria high-diving record! Falling six stories into a deep dish pie pan takes a toll on the hindquarters. Oh, I was so sore, took years before I could even look at the water again! Just the idea of swimmin' makes my whole body ache! Besides, these old legs can't even paddle fast enough to stay afloat.[Singing Apples to the Core]
We're peas in a pod, we're thick as thieves
Any cliché you can throw at me
We're here for each other, through thick and thin
You're always welcome with your Apple kin
Wheeeeee!
Zecora is a zebra who resides in a hut in the Everfree Forest. Initially believed to be an evil enchantress by the terrified populace of Ponyville, she later befriends the ponies and frequently helps them out with her knowledge of magical ailments. She speaks with a strong African-esque accent, forming rhyming couplets with all her sentences.
Maybe next time you will take a second look, and not judge the cover of the book.
Now, Apple Bloom, do not be silly. You are always welcome, my little filly. With each mistake you learn something new, growing up into a better you.
When trouble brews between you two, turning sister against brother, true understanding is what's due. Each must come to know the other. There's no time to waste. Go directly home. But you both must taste when you're finally alone.
Spitfire is the captain of the aerial acrobatics group, the Wonderbolts. She never shies away from telling a pony what they did wrong along with what they did right. Spitfire is a mare that knows how to make her team work and work hard.
[To Soarin, Teasing]
Always hungry after a show, eh Soarin?[To her students, In Drill Sergeant Mode]
Well looky what we got here. Bet you all think you're Wonderbolt material, don't cha? Think you got what it takes to be an elite flier? Well then, let me be the first to tell you...... You don't! If you had what it took to be an elite flier you'd already be a Wonderbolt![To Rainbow Dash, Respectful]
Rainbow Dash, you are something. Saw it at the Academy, seeing it again here. We could learn a lot from a competitor like you.
Soarin is a member of the Wonderbolts. He also has a huge love for apple pie. The shoulder boards on his shirt signify he is a commander of the Wonderbolts, and as second-in-command, issues orders when Spitfire is absent. Soarin is chill, and fun-loving, but also knows when it's time to focus and get some work done.
You sure have nice friends. Nopony's been by to visit me. Eh, too busy practicing, I guess.
I have to warn you, if you sent that letter, the bylaws are clear. I'd have no choice but to ban you from the Wonderbolts forever.
My nickname's "Clipper". You know why they call me that? Because I clipped my wing on a flagpole as I was landing on my first day.
Trixie Lulamoon is a traveling magician. She tends to speak in the third person and refers to herself as "The Great and Powerful Trixie". Trixie assumes a very theatrical personality and speaks dramatically in the third person, posing and setting off fireworks to complete the full effect. Twilight Sparkle's positive, helpful, and humble attitude is contrasted by Trixie's over-the-top boasting and arrogant nature. Trixie reacts poorly to dangerous situations, quickly succumbing to panic and terror. But she is capable of genuine acts of courage despite this. Trixie also has a habit of not recognizing how her actions affect others. Trixie's constant time on the road has made her highly skilled and experienced in how to operate on her travels, such as how to ration money for the trip and the best places to resupply.
[Theatrical and Boastful on Stage]
Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie![Hearing the whispers, Self-conscious]
Everypony always says they'll give you a second chance, but deep down, they never forget.[Singing Tricks Up My Sleeve]
You think you've got what it takes to go toe to toe?
I've got more moves than you'll ever know
I own the stage, I'm all the rage
You're from the past, I'm from the Space AgeCome on, you're just making noise
Listen how my music destroys
Anything you throw at me
I'm gonna throw back, just wait and see-eeYa better believe
I got tricks up my sleeve
And I captivate
'Cause I'm powerful and grea-ea-eatYa better believe
I got tricks up my sleeve
See me dominate
'Cause I'm powerful and grea-ea-eat
Gilda is a griffon and Rainbow Dash's childhood friend from Junior Speedsters Flight Camp. She is first shown to be playful and competitive around Rainbow Dash, and she mentions she enjoys a good prank. However, she is also very rude and has a short temper but hides that by acting friendly toward Dash.
It isn't until later we see Gilda harbors a kind, caring attitude that she hides behind a rude facade. Her nasty behavior stems from her childhood when one of the bullies made fun of her.
[To Pinkie Pie, Rude]
Don't you know how to take get lost for an answer? Dash doesn't need to hang with a dweeb like you now that I'm around. You're dorkin' up the skies, Stinkie Pie, so make like a bee and BUZZ OFF.[Blowing her top at the Party, Angry]
This is your idea of a good time? I've never met a lamer bunch of dweebs in all my life. And Pinkie Pie, you! You are queen lame-o with your weak little party pranks. Did you really think you could make me lose my cool? Well, Dash and I have ten times as much cool as the rest of you put together. Come on Dash, we're bailing on this pathetic scene.[To Rainbow Dash, Kind]
You're more important to me than some dumb chunk of gold.
Mr. Carrot Cake is one of the owners of Sugarcube Corner and Pinkie Pie's co-employer and landlord, as he and Cup Cake rent the loft above the shop to her. Mr. Cake can be a bit of a worrywart but he loves his wife and Pinkie as though she were his own daughter.
[Explaining how their children are a unicorn and a pegasus]
Easy. My great-great-great-great-grandfather was a unicorn, and Cup Cake's great-aunt's second cousin twice removed was a Pegasus. That makes sense, right?[To Pinkie Pie, Unenthusiastic]
(Groans) Pinkie Pie, how would you like to babysit for us?[To Mrs. Cake, In a rush]
We'll frost it when we get there! C'mon, sugarplum, tick-tick!
Mrs. Cup Cake is one of the owners of Sugarcube Corner and Pinkie Pie's co-employer and landlady, as she and Carrot Cake rent the loft above the shop to her. Mrs. Cake has a particularly motherly affection, referring to others and even Princess Celestia herself, albeit not deliberately, as "dearie".
[To Princess Celestia]
Anything else we can get for you, dearies...? Ooh, I-I mean, esteemed guests.[Worried about Big Mac and Cheerilee]
I'm all for romance, but this has been going on for hours. What's happened to these two?[Explaining how Pear Butter helped her get her cutie mark]
Not always. Back when I was Chiffon Swirl, heh, I had no idea what I was supposed to do. But one day, your mom brought me some candied pears, eggs, flour, sugar, and vanilla, and told me to just be creative! Next thing I knew, I was whipping up pear upside-down cake, and I got my cutie mark! It was like she knew what I was supposed to do long before I did.
Mayor Mare is the mayor of Ponyville. She is frequently seen giving speeches. Mayor Mare is always willing to do what it takes to help the ponies of her fair town.
[Announcing the Summer Sun Celebration]
Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration![Calling out ponies on their bickering]
Oh! What in Equestria are all you arguing about? This sort of silliness is why we were late for spring last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.[Marrying Cranky and Matilda]
It's remarkable to me how a story like Cranky's search for Matilda could fill this room with such a unique collection of ponies! It makes you realize that everypony is the star of their own story. And it's not just the main characters in our stories that make life so rich! It's everypony – those who play big parts and those who play small. If it weren't for everypony in this room and many more who couldn't be here today, Cranky and Matilda's lives wouldn't be as full and vibrant as they are.
Cheerilee is a teacher at the Ponyville Schoolhouse. As a teacher, Cheerilee is kind, patient, and determined to shape her students' morals. However, she is also reasonably strict and disciplinary. She also has moments of generosity.
[Teaching her class about cutie marks]
Today we are going to be talking about cutie marks. You can all see my cutie mark, can't you? Like all ponies, I wasn't born with a cutie mark. My flank was blank. Then one day, when I was about your age, I woke up to find that a cutie mark had appeared. I had decided to become a teacher, and the flowers symbolized my hope that I could help my future students bloom if I nurture them with knowledge. The smiles represented the cheer I hope to bring to my little ponies while they were learning.[To the CMC, Deadpan]
That's an apple tree.[To the CMC, Confused]
Girls! Can you explain why I look like I'm getting married at the bottom of a pit?
Twist is a schoolpony with a noticeable speech impediment and a student of Cheerilee's class at Ponyville Schoolhouse. She was one of the few "blank flanks" in her class besides Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle until she received her cutie mark: two candy canes in the shape of a heart.
[Seeing a filly Cheerilee]
Aww...! She's so precious![Finally getting her cutie mark, Excited]
Isn't my cutie mark swell? I've always loved making my own favorite sweets, but it took me some time to discover that it was my super-special talent. Pretty sweet, huh?[Confused, Trying to guess Apple Bloom's 'Cutie Mark']
Or is it a powdered donut? 'Cause that sounds delicious.
Lotus Blossom is an Earth pony who works at Ponyville Day Spa, which she co-owns with Aloe. She speaks with a Swedish accent.
Miss Zecora, I would love to get the recipe for this bath. It's simply luxurious!
You must relax, my dear! We can handle anything! We once did a pony's hair during the ceremony!
Aloe is an Earth pony who works at Ponyville Day Spa, which she co-owns with Lotus Blossom. She speaks with a Swedish accent.
Did somepony order massages?
Um... Miss Rarity? Eh, how much longer are you planning to stay in here, darling?
Hoity Toity is a fancy Earth pony and a major representative of the fashion world from Canterlot. Hoity Toity's character design is strongly reminiscent of the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, the same basis as "Stärke Kragen", in the style of his mane and clothing. His accent is a stereotypical upper-class American one.
[Reviewing Rarity's dresses, Scathing]
Oh, those amateurish designs look like a piled-on mishmash of everything but a kitchen sink! It's a travesty is what it is. Those outfits are the ugliest things I've ever seen, oh for shame! Who is responsible for subjecting our eyes to these horrors? Not to mention wasting my valuable time.[Seeing the Original dresses Rarity made, Joyous]
Now this is a fashion show! All of these dresses are absolutely amazing. Who is responsible? Step forward, show yourself!
Sapphire Shores is a famous pop star singer from Canterlot, primarily referred to as "The Pony of Pop". Sapphire speaks with a loud, theatrical voice and with an accent reminiscent of an African-American vernacular, and she frequently inserts musical intonations into her sentences. She appears to be a parody of the self-promoting star who is always "on." Despite her fame and over-the-top mannerisms, she seems to be quite friendly and approachable towards Rarity.
[To Rarity]
I make it a point to know all of the up-and-coming designers, and Clothes Horse magazine simply raved about you.[Excited]
It's a dolphin! That's my lucky animal! They swim with me in my dreams.
Photo Finish is a famous fashion photographer in Equestria. With her German-like accent, Photo Finish joins the ranks of ponies with inexplicable foreign accents. She is quite posh, stuck up, and dismissive of ponies she deems unworthy of her time. She travels with an entourage of servile ponies who never speak and who cater to her every whim, doing things like carrying her around and vanishing the moment she tells them to leave. She often refers to herself as "I, Photo Finish," and she is almost never seen without her sunglasses on.
I, Photo Finish... have arrived.
Flootershy! It is time to make... da magicks!
Braeburn is Applejack, Big McIntosh, and Apple Bloom's cousin from Appleloosa. He can be excitable at times and while he tries to be responsible, he doesn't always succeed.
[Greeting Applejack and her friends]
Hey there. Welcome to AAAAAAA-pple-LOO-sa!Cousin Applejack, mind yer manners, you have yet ta introduce me to your compadres! Shame on you!
Little Strongheart is a young buffalo. She is a levelheaded buffalo, serving as the voice of reason for the more short-tempered Chief Thunderhooves. She displays more kindness and patience toward the Appleloosans than her fellow buffalo, and she is the most opposed to the feud between her tribe and the ponies.
[To Rainbow Dash, Apologetic]
Wait! Please accept my apologies for what happened on the train. We didn't mean for anyone to be hurt.The ponies refused to move their trees, so we are stuck here, and it is not fair!
Chief Thunderhooves is the chief of a tribe of buffalo. He leads the buffalo tribe against the settlers of Appleloosa, due to their apple orchards blocking his tribe's traditional stampeding grounds.
Hmph. It is a sacred tradition to run the path every year. But this year, these... settler ponies, these... [snort] Appleloosans!
It appears that Sheriff Silverstar and I have come to... an agreement. That was the worst performance we've ever seen.
Sheriff Silverstar is the sheriff of Appleloosa.
[To Chief Thunderhooves]
An' we Appleloosans say you'd better bring yer best, 'cause we'll be ready and waitin'.I reckon I oughta cancel this rodeo like all the others done. But dag-hoof it, this has gone far enough! We'll double the patrols! This rodeo will go on! Appleloosa ain't gonna be intimidated!
Prince Blueblood is a royal who resides in Canterlot. He is the distant nephew of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and the cousin of Princess Cadance. He starts out as the object of Rarity's affections, but once they meet in person, he falls short of her expectations.
[To Rarity, Pompus]
You mean... this rose? Thank you. It goes with my eyes.[Disgusted at Applejack's food]
Oh! Fritters! Dumplings! Caramel apples! My royal lips have touched common carnival fare! I'm going to the buffet for some... hors d'oeuvres.
