Star Swirl the Bearded is a character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He was voiced by Christopher Britton.
Biography[]
One of the most (if not the most) powerful unicorns alive, Star Swirl acted as both a mentor and father figure to Princess Celestia (Nicole Oliver) and Princess Luna (Tabitha St. Germain), raising them and teaching all about magic and about ruling Equestria.
Star Swirl is a member of a team of legendary pony heroes known as the Pillars of Equestria, who protected Equestria before the Mane 6 were around. In one of his battles against the Pony of Shadows, Star Swirl was trapped in a pocket dimension alongside the rest of the pillars.
Star Swirl became a much-revered figure around Equestria, especially by Shining Armor's younger sister, Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong), who deeply admires Star Swirl due to his wisdom and power.
Eventually, the Mane Six free Star Swirl from the pocket dimension. Reuniting with Celestia and Luna, he continues to protect Equestria and acts as a mentor not just to them, but to the Mane Six as well.
Trivia[]
- Star Swirl's human counterpart appears in Fluttershy's Equestria Girls: Siren Academy arcade ending. Fluttershy is instructed by Rainbow Dash ((Ashleigh Ball) to hunt down a criminal mastermind, which she assumes to be Quentin Beck/Mysterio. After hunting and defeating him, it is revealed that her assassination target was actually Star Swirl the Bearded, not Quentin Beck/Mysterio.
