Flash Sentry Another pointless pretty boy character; we expected better from My Little Pony. Gender: Male Species: Human Portrayed by: Vincent Tong Status: Alive Media of origin: My Little Pony Equestria Girls First appearance: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls

Flash Sentry is a male Pegasus pony who first appears in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls as a Crystal Empire royal guard. Following his appearance in Equestria Girls, he has since appeared in series episodes and several IDW comics.

Bad Qualities

1. He's meant to be the supposed love interest of Princess Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Rainbow Rocks, yet he's barely seen much on screen and doesn't develop much chemistry with Twilight, which makes him come off as less of a character and just as an unnecessary romantic plot device.
2. His personality is very bland as he comes off as another generic pretty boy that the lead female protagonist falls for at first sight.
3. He's not even the right match for Twilight, in hindsight. The way he interacts with Twilight is just so wrong and very out of character for her. Twilight showcases interest in smart people, for crying out loud.
4. As he doesn't appear much on screen, there is hardly any development given to him that allows him to progress as a character outside of a romantic plot device.
5. His human design is also pretty generic since it contributes to his bland characterization.
6. He belittles Twilight in Rainbow Rocks, which makes sense due to him being under the Dazzlings’ curse, but after the spell is broken, he doesn't apologize to her about that.

Good Qualities

1. As the series progressed, he became more of a supporting character. He was given a better personality in which he's a goofy and likable womanizer, and he's given moments where he comes off as a nice guy.
2. His pony and human designs in the digital series and specials are both very cool.
3. His guitar skills are impressive.
4. He eventually gets over his feelings for Twilight in The Legend of Everfree.
5. He proved Twilight's innocence.
6. Vincent Tong did a good job voicing him.

Trivia

• His voice actor, Vincent Tong, also voiced characters such as Kai from Ninjago, Touta Matsuda from the English dub of Death Note, and Muck in the US dub of the Bob the Builder 2015 reboot.
