The Legend of Captain FireFly
Ixthos for Firefly Narration
Captain Firefly is a highly decorated veteran of the Pony/Gryphon War she has seen much action in her days, and while she is no longer a spring chicken, she still has plenty of vim and verve left. She enjoys getting together with her fellow vets and talking about "the good old days". For this role, I am looking for a voice that can play around with the concept of nostalgia, be soft-spoken when talking about sad memories, light-hearted when talking about the silliness of youth, etc.
I was always a very rough-and-tumble pony, a pegasus who loved practicing stunts and enjoyed getting into scraps with the local colts and fillies whenever she could. It drove my caretakers at the orphanage mad, but they eventually learned that I simply didn’t take well to confinement or discipline—I needed the sky, and I had a competitive fire that would simply not be quenched.
I lacked patience and constantly strove to prove myself for reasons even I wasn’t fully clear on, except for an unquenchable drive and desire to be the best—the best flyer, the best fighter… and in time, the best warrior.
Yet when the Princess gave a speech from her royal balcony, ’twas not she who held my attention so much as the sight of the Armored Guardsponies flanking her. Big, sleek stallions who were said to be the best soldiers in Equestria’s military, this despite Equestria’s badly skewed gender ratios and the need to protect breeding males at all costs…
