Under Her Wings
DanseJoyeux for Duchess Blueblood
A pretentious nobelmare, the Duchess is the main antagonist in this story. She is haughty, self-assured, and not above using underhanded tactics to get what she wants. She wants her son to be the student of the Princess and is unhappy that a young common filly is in that role. I am looking for a voice that is snobby, self-important, and proud. I also need a voice that is tone-flexible going from fake-sympathy to verbal jabs to shrieks of rage towards lesser ponies.
“Oh my, what happened to your personal student?”
“The poor dear looks so weak. I bet she would give almost anything to be back home with her parents. Regrettably, Your Highness’ duties have precluded you from any worthwhile maternal experience, which no doubt plays a factor in the filly’s problems,”
“Why hasn’t he received the proper care yet? Do I really need to remind you oafs who you are dealing with?”
