Littlest Pet Shop: A Who's Who Guide For Curious Bronies Part 1
Ponies is awesome. So is Dan Vs. Now there is a show on the Hub that is also pretty rocking, but not quite as awesome. That show is called Littlest Pet Shop, and it has a lot of potential.
I'm planning on making a series right now where I review each Littlest Pet Shop episode, because seriously its fan base is far too small and it has a good collection of flaws to pick at. But first, I think that it'd help to introduce each of the characters from it, because it has a fairly ambitious cast size. First, our main character:
Blythe:
As we can see, our Blythe here has a bit of Rarity in her, as she too designs clothes and has a fabulous sense of style. But she's not a diva. That'll be later. Blythe is a bit eccentric, which should be expected considering that she is the only person here who can talk to animals. At first the vocal resemblance to Rainbow Dash was uncanny, but in recent episodes, Ashleigh Ball (Yes, that one) has developed more of a unique voice for her. Blythe works as Mrs. Twombly's assistant at the Littlest Pet Shop. If you thought MLP loved title drops, you haven't seen anything yet.
Human Side Characters: Like, Don't Forget Them
The Biskit Twins:
Like, the most important side characters in the show. This pair of spoiled school bullies is voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent, who you may know as Pinkie Pie's singing voice and the speaking voice of Silver Spoon. The black haired one on the left is Whitney, the "brains" of the two, and the platinum blonde one on the right is Brittney, and no, that choice of names doesn't make sense to me either. Despite any misgivings you may have due to the words "school bullies", the Biskit twins are the funniest and most entertaining characters in Littlest Pet Shop and are sometimes unintentionally sympathetic.
Blythe's Friends:
On the left you have Youngmee (ALSO voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent), who looks stereotypically Asian, is very picky about food, and generally acts as the "weird" one. In the center is Jasper (voiced by Kathleen Barr/Trixie), the token guy. And finally, the leftmost one is Sue, a tomboy who is great at track and field and has a nice eye design. Not much else to say about these outside of episodes featuring them.
Blythe's Dad (Rodger Baxter):
Blythe's typical sitcom dad (who knows what happened to her mom?). He's a pilot, but is an ironically terrible driver. Sometimes he's pretty funny, otherwise dull.
Mrs Twombly:
Yet another person voiced by Kathleen Barr. She's the owner of Littlest Pet Shop and seems to be blissfully unaware of what the pets in her daycare are actually doing every day. And she collects doorknobs?
That's all for the humans. Time for the animals!
