Megan Williams is an industrious, sweet-tempered and lovely girl. As the designated bearer of the Rainbow of Light, she regularly assists the residents of Ponyland. She is a natural leader - gentle and motherly, resourceful and patient, kind and thoughtful (far more so than most people her age) - which complements her stunning appearance very well. In times of crisis, the Little Ponies often fly across the rainbow to find her. Megan lives with her brother Danny and their sister Molly on a ranch, where they keep a horse named TJ and a bull named Tauro. (The siblings' parents are never seen or mentioned.)

She was first brought to Dream Valley by Firefly, in order to help save her fellow ponies by defeating Tirac. During her quest, Megan encountered the Sea Ponies and the Moochick; the latter gave her a heart-shaped locket which contained the Rainbow of Light. After Tirac's defeat, Firefly brought Megan back home, the girl kept the locket.

She returned once again to help the Ponies defeat the Smooze, bringing along her siblings with her. After that, she and her siblings make regular visits to Ponyland.

Megan was voiced by 2 voice actresses. Her first voice actress, Tammy Anderson, did her voice in Rescue at Midnight Castle, My Little Pony: Escape From Catrina and My Little Pony: The Movie. Her second voice actress, Bettina Bush, did her voice in My Little Pony 'n Friends.

Personality[]

In comparison to her often bratty or confrontational siblings, Megan is always kind and friendly towards the ponies, rarely losing her temper unless the younger ponies have done something wrong, at which point she acts in a rather motherly fashion, which was her role in many episodes.

Having confronted all kinds of horrors across Dream Valley, Megan might be kind but she is very brave and capable of eliminating the biggest of threats, regardless of how scary they may be. Through the Rainbow of Light, she has killed two of the greatest threats Ponyland has known: Tirac and Lavan.

Megan is also very clever, usually outsmarting opponents too strong to directly face or when the Rainbow of Light is not in her possession.

Warm, mature and wise-beyond-her-years, Megan was a motherly figure towards her Pony friends and siblings, especially her youngest sister and the Baby ponies. She was always kind, gentle and comforting, but also daring, brave and adventurous, traits she shared with her brother. Although in her earliest adventures, Megan was apprehensive about going into dangerous places, she proved her unwavering character by risking her life to save her new friends from certain doom. Megan was very intelligent and smart, and was able to see through people, their motives and plans. She was also a very avid reader, with a large collection of fiction books and stories, with her favorite genre appearing to be fairy tails.

She wasn't as technically inclined as Danny and didn't use much technological objects in her adventures and instead tended to use her own wits and abilities to solve problems. Although determined and optimistic, Megan wasn't completely unwavering in her demeanor and occasionally saw problems as unwinnable, giving up in the process. In these situations, she would pray for help or a solution, but not after trying to find one herself.

Megan said that she was going to pray while stuck in the Dungeons of Tambleon when facing off against Grogar, implying she may have been a religious person.

Appearance[]

In "Rescue From Midnight Castle", Megan wears blue jeans and an orange short-sleeved shirt, with brown boots plus a matching vest and belt. She wears her thick blond hair in a ponytail, which flows down her back and just past her waist, to the seat of her jeans.
