Revision as of 05:55, 27 March 2016

Aria Blaze was a former student from Canterlot High and one of the main antagonists in the film My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. She is a siren that was banished from Equestria by Star Swirl the Bearded thousand years ago. She initially becomes the back-up singer for their band, the Dazzlings.

Development and design

Her appearance is similar to that of Starlight Glimmer from the original series, Friendship is Magic.

Like those of her bandmates Adagio Dazzle and Sonata Dusk, Aria Blaze's fin-like wings are translucent and non-feathered.

In musical terminology, the word "aria" refers to a long accompanied song for a solo voice, typically one in an opera.

Depiction in films

My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks

In the film, Aria and the other Dazzlings are introduced in the human world. They are sirens from Equestria who were banished to the human world by Star Swirl the Bearded to keep them from using their dark magic to conquer Equestria. They are first seen in a café causing tension between the patrons, and Aria grumbles about the world's lack of satiating magic. Later, when Sunset Shimmer gives a school tour to Aria and company and mentions the musical showcase, Aria states that they sing "from time to time." She and the Dazzlings later convince the students with their music to turn the friendly Musical Showcase into a Battle of the Bands.

Aria and the Dazzlings use their siren songs to control the students' opinion and advance through the competition bracket. In the final battle against the Rainbooms, Aria and the Dazzlings are eventually defeated, and the pendants which they used to control the students were destroyed. As a result, their inability to sing leads to them being chased off in disgrace.

Aside from flashbacks, Aria's true form is never physically shown in the film, but she and her fellow bandmates gain pony-like ears, extended ponytails, and translucent fin-like wings. They also summon astral projections of their true siren forms from their pendants. Aria is also the only member of the Dazzlings who is not referred to by name in the film, although Sonata refers to her by name in the novelization.

My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games

A drawing of Aria's siren form is briefly seen in Friendship Games during the CHS Rally Song. Her siren form can also be seen in one of the human Twilight Sparkle's photos.

Their siren counterparts also appeared in the alternate version of What More Is Out There? during Sunset Shimmer’s verse, wherein she fades away the clouds, at one shot.

Personality

"I think you're the worst, Sonata!"

Aria Blaze is portrayed as being more level-headed than her companion Sonata Dusk and often speaks in a rather bored disposition. Throughout the film, she is shown to be just as cold and manipulative as her leader Adagio Dazzle, convincing Trixie Lulamoon into removing the Rainbooms from the competition and joining Adagio in undermining Sunset Shimmer’s confidence. She would question Adagio's plans and thinks about being in charge when she suggested Sonata to follow her lead, much to Adagio's anger. Aria also frequently argues with Sonata, occasionally calling her "the worst" and disagreeing with her over trivial matters.

She’s spirited and sassy and never too shy to speak her mind, but when Aria Blaze takes the stage, her captivating voice is all anyone hears. She works magic at the mic, helping the Dazzlings live up to their name.
