Firefly is a Pegasus Pony. She was first released in 1984. She is the main Protagonist of the My Little Pony pilot episode Rescue at Midnight Castle. When the Scorpan and his dragons kidnapped some of her friends, she flew to find help and found Megan. She brings the human girl back to Dream Valley while encouraging her that she's special. She joins the rescue team, which includes Megan, Twilight, Bow Tie, and Applejack. She was voiced by Sandy Duncan.

Despite her sole appearance in Rescue from Midnight Castle, she's the most iconic character due to having the most merchandise.

Physical Appearance[]

Firefly is a pink Pegasus with light blue hair and dark blue eyes. Her symbol is sparkly two light blue lightning bolts.

Her appearance is slightly different in the special, where she is a brighter pink with purple eyes and darker blue hair. Her symbol is also darker.

Personality[]

Firefly is daring and brash. This is shown in her opening scene, where she performs the double inside out loop and ends up crashing into Applejack. She claims danger is her life. However, this leads her to be the only one willing to take a risk and fly to get help, where she meets Megan Williams and going on a quest to save her friends. She is rather excitable, given when she met Megan, she instantly believed her to be the one to save the ponies, despite Megan’s reasonable protests and instantly coming to conclusions, believing Megan could fly. She is also friendly, outgoing and playful. Despite her impulsive nature, she can understand when someone else is doing something dangerous, as she caught Ember when she was jumping off a cliff.

Role in the special[]

Firefly slides down a rainbow with Medley, laughing. She and Medley fly around before she sees Ember jumping off a cliff. She catches her before she falls, much to Ember’s dismay. Firefly then proclaims she is going to preform the double inside out loop, but fails and crashes into Applejack. Then the Stratadons come and kidnap Cotton Candy and Moondancer. Firefly flies under the rainbow to get help, much to the other’s protests.

At the human world, Firefly crashes into a bucket at a ranch where Megan and her horse live. Megan lifts up the bucket with Firefly in it and is shocked when Firefly talks. Firefly introduces herself to Megan and runs off to a steep hill. Megan follows after her and Firefly tells her to get on and follow her. Megan protests, but Firefly flies off anyway. She and Megan sing a duet Dancing On Air. In the song, Firefly tells Megan she’s their hero, but Megan doesn’t believe it until the end of the song.

Firefly and Megan land back at Dream Castle, much to the relief of the ponies. However, their relief is short lived as the Stratadons come again and capture Bubbles and Ember. They also attempt to capture Megan, but Firefly saves her with the inside out loop. Firefly tells Megan she’s brave after she yells at Scorpan, but Megan still refuses to believe. She, Megan, Applejack, Bow Tie and Twilight go off to save the others from Tirac.

On their journey, Applejack falls off a bridge. Megan goes to save her and the Sea Ponies save them. They arrive at the Moochick's cottage and ask the Moochick for help. He tells them they only have until midnight to save their friends. He looks around for the Rainbow of Light and finds it. Since it looks like just a necklace, Firefly and the others don’t believe it to be of much use. Megan thanks him anyway and they continue.

At Midnight Castle, the sea ponies tell them to push the stone gargoyle’s nose to enter. Firefly pushes it and they enter. While they are walking, Applejack is captured. When they get to Tirac’s throne, Firefly notices Applejack is missing. Tirac reveals he captured Applejack and turns her into a dragon with his Rainbow of Darkness. Scorpan pushes the door open and the ponies run. Megan jumps on Firefly and Firefly does the inside out loop around Tirac’s chariot and knocks his rainbow of darkness out of his hands. She throws it to Bow Tie, who throws it to Twilight, who throws it back to Firefly. Firefly attempts to fly away to Dream Castle, but knocks into a Stratadon and drops the bag. In a last resort, Megan opens the rainbow of light, but it is revealed to be a small rainbow. Tirac destroys the rainbow of light with the rainbow of darkness, but the rainbow of darkness transforms into the rainbow of light and kills Tirac, while turning the captured ponies back into themselves and Scorpan back into a prince.

Firefly and Megan hang out by a stream with the others, when Ember sneezes. Firefly laughs with everyone as she falls in. In the credits, Firefly takes Megan home.

Trivia[]

  • She was the inspiration for Rainbow Dash in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is creator Lauren Faust's childhood toy and in fact, originally wanted her as one of the main ponies, but Hasbro lost the trademark to her name. So Lauren redesigned the character, giving Rainbow Dash her G3/G3.5 counterpart's name and colors, but with a symbol/cutie mark completely different from either Firefly and G3/G3.5 Rainbow Dash.
