Snowshoe Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have a quick question. Based on the show itself, we know French is a language recognized in Equestria. Apple Bloom spoke it, and Applejack recognized it (as bein' fancy!), the Flim Flam brothers use the term "nonpareil", Fluttershy mentions "French haute-couture" in one episode (the one where Rarity is making their dresses), and when speaking with Sapphire Shores in an episode, Rarity uses an entire sentence in French. We have an expy in the RP for Russia (Stalliongrad), Germany (Germaney), and Italy (Itaily), but do we have one for France? I only ask because I have a character idea (Several, in fact) that I would want to come from a French-speaking background, so if we have a France that'd be great, or something equivalent. And no, it's not an essential background to the characters, but something I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 lol gotta love "Mah Sister's Speakin' in Fancy!"hummm... that's a tricky one, I'm usually good with puns, but I'm not coming up with much for 'France' and 'Pony' (maybe 'Prance" since ponies prance around sometimes?) I'd like to see a France expy too, of course then I'd feel required to make a thinly-veiled expy of Antoine De Coolette... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshoe Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was definitely Prance as well. As for the character, I was listening to a whole lot of French electroswing, and I kinda wanna make a French double-bass swing musician straight out of the 1920s, lol.

But he was FUN to play as a plot-monkey!) No ide what's become of him since then though, seems like I read he evolved into a true hero now... so much more boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syel Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 As a French guy, I approve of this And for the name, I can't think of anything but 'Prance' for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
