Rise and Shine- A Friendship is Magic Epic
ExplosionMare for Celestia (child)
Character Description: Celestia is shown at several different ages in this story (her adult lines notwithstanding). This role goes from ages 3 to about 12 in the most recent chapters. Celestia is boisterous, spunky, and has a competitive streak a mile wide. She loves her adopted family and rarely gives her origins any thought. She loves her little sister Luna with all her heart, but that doesn't stop her from administering copious teasing and noogies as she sees fit.
Project Description: This role will require great amounts of energy and emotional shifts. From happy shrill giggles to heart-wrenching sobs and just about everything in-between. At the suggestion of the author, it would be preferable if you can cover those different ages naturally.
- One Idea that I have is that if one of the adult actors has a younger sibling or child who might be interested in this role then that would be an excellent bonus to making the flow between the characters feel natural.
age 3:
“B-but…” Celestia babbled, her lip trembling. She turned to Sprout. He could tell the dam was breaking, and it was too late to stop it. She screwed her eyes shut and lowered her head, starting to openly and loudly cry, filling the house with the heart-wrenching noise. “W-here’s m-my maamaaaa?!”
ages 6-9:
“You stink,” Luna repeated with a giggle. “You’re all sweaty.”
Celestia’s cheeks puffed up. She lowered her chest to the ground and gave her tail a few flicks, like a cat about to pounce on its prey. Luna got the look on her face of a filly who now regretted her recent life decisions.
“Okay, let’s make you stink too, then!” Celestia declared before pouncing on her baby sister.
Luna squealed in delight as the two barreled head-over-hooves into their room. Celestia had Luna pinned on the ground and began to mercilessly tickle her sides while using her larger body to keep Luna pinned and spread as much stink as she could. Luna squirmed and fought back as hard as she was able.
Eventually, Luna managed to squirm free of Celestia’s grasp. She quickly jumped up onto her bed and spun to face Celestia. “Meanie!” she snapped in spite of her huge grin. She leaned down to sniff at herself and gagged.
Celestia grinned triumphantly. “See? Now you are the stinky one!”
“Nuh-uh!”
“Yuh-huh!”
ages 10-12:
Celestia nodded. “Yup. I guess they’re just being stubborn this year,” she said while patting her sister on the back. She turned to give Sprout and Honey a cocky grin. “Don’t worry, dad. We’ll have the sky clear for you in no time.”
