Description[]
Appearance[]
Flash Sentry is a male Pegasus pony who serves as a royal guard in the Crystal Empire. He has a blue coat, a blonde mane and tail, and his cutie mark, which is visible on his toy, is a shield with a lightning bolt. He wears the standard Crystal Empire royal guard uniform, which includes a saddle plate and back cloth.
In his human form, Flash Sentry is a student at Canterlot High School, an electric guitarist for the band "Flash Drive," and Sunset Shimmer's ex-boyfriend . He has blue hair, similar to his pony counterpart's coat color, and is often depicted carrying a guitar case.
Personality[]
Flash Sentry is depicted as a kind, gentle, benevolent, and true gentleman. He is not only a guard; he genuinely believes in safeguarding others and upholding justice. His actions stem from a deep-seated desire to do what's right, even if it means personal sacrifice. He's the first to step up when danger arises. While not overtly talkative, Flash is an excellent listener and observer. He picks up on subtle cues and understands situations better than he lets on.
Despite his heroic qualities, Flash doesn't seek recognition or praise. He's uncomfortable with being the center of attention and prefers to let his actions speak for themselves. He genuinely believes he's just doing his job. Once Flash commits to someone or something, he's unwavering in his loyalty. Whether it's to Princess Cadance, Princess Twilight, or his friends, he will stand by them through thick and thin, offering steadfast support. While handsome and capable, Flash can be a bit socially awkward, especially around those he admires or is nervous around (like Twilight initially).
Beyond his guard duties, he has a hidden passion for a creative outlet, perhaps playing a quiet acoustic guitar or sketching landscapes. While physically capable, Flash is also a good tactician. He can quickly assess situations and devise effective plans, not just relying on strength. He feels the weight of his duties keenly, especially concerning the safety of the Crystal Empire and its inhabitants. As a guard to a Princess of Friendship and Magic, Flash has developed a profound respect for intellectual pursuits and the power of magic. He might occasionally seek to understand the intricacies of spells or historical events.
While his initial connection with Twilight was romantic, his true personality shines as a reliable and encouraging friend. He champions her efforts and believes in her abilities without overshadowing her. Flash possesses a natural ability to sense when others are struggling, even if they don't voice it. He might offer a quiet word of encouragement, a comforting presence, or practical assistance without being asked.
Despite his serious demeanor, Flash retains a childlike wonder for the extraordinary things he witnesses in Equestria, particularly the unique magic and creatures he encounters. This keeps him grounded and appreciative. Beyond his duty, Flash has a fierce, personal protectiveness over those he cares about. This isn't aggressive, but a deep-seated instinct to ensure their well-being, even if it means putting himself in harm's way.
Role in the film[]
Flash Sentry's pegasus pony counterpart appears first, in the film in the Crystal Empire throne room. His human counterpart appears later, helping Twilight Sparkle up after she stumbles in the hallways of Canterlot High. He appears again at the local coffee shop, where Twilight accidentally spills her drink on him and he jokes they need to stop bumping into each other. Rarity reveals to Twilight that he is Sunset Shimmer's ex-boyfriend.
When Sunset frames Twilight for ruining the Fall Formal decorations, Flash Sentry proves that the pictures are fake and Vice Principal Luna allows Twilight Sparkle to stay in the competition. Twilight is so thrilled that she hugs Flash Sentry. He then asks Twilight on a date to the Formal but mistakes all of her blubbering "no's" as her answer when she was really freaking out over the Formal being postponed. When the Formal does reconvene as originally scheduled, Twilight Sparkle clears up the confusion with Flash Sentry and agrees to share one dance with him. He is later one of the many students put under Sunset Shimmer's control when she rises to power. After Twilight and her friends defeat Sunset Shimmer and everyone is turned back to normal, Flash Sentry finally asks her for their dance and he imitates Twilight's odd and atrocious dancing style, previously seen in Sweet and Elite.
When Twilight Sparkle returns to Equestria at the end of the film, she again bumps into Flash Sentry's pony counterpart. When Twilight's friends say that she must have a crush on him, Twilight Sparkle denies it, but blushes. Although, despite that, Pinkie Pie manages to accurately guess that the guard Flash Sentry reminds Twilight Sparkle of a rock guitarist she met and liked in the other world.
In Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree, Flash gets over his desire to develop a relationship with Princess Twilight again and becomes friends with Sunset Shimmer.
