Welp, that was quick! Voice a character and BAM, convention guest! Expect the event later this month, for now, read about her addition below!
Lexi Heule, the voice behind Angel Wings, is our surprise Guest of Honor!
The
My Little Pony fandom is unlike any other. We cheer for each other, we
support each other, and we care for each other in ways that really
should be more common than they are. Given the show’s track record for
paying attention to and taking care of their fans – and since they have
done something similar once before – it is no surprise that when Make a Wish reached out to Hasbro with Lexi’s wish, that they were more than willing to help out.
“Lexi
is a tenacious and spirited young woman with her eye on a career in
voice acting for cartoons. If her debut on MLP is any indication, we
certainly haven’t heard the last from her!” – Big Jim Miller
Lexi
has congenital heart disease and a connective tissue disorder, and has
endured multiple open-heart surgeries. Despite this, Lexi has persevered
against all odds. Thanks to Make a Wish, Hasbro and DHX, Lexi was given
the opportunity to pursue the dream of becoming a voice actor and to
bring the original character Angel Wings into the world of Equestria.
When we at Ponyville Ciderfest became instant fans of the character and
then learned that Lexi lives only a few hours away, our decision to
invite Lexi as a surprise Guest of Honor took almost no thought.
Pre-registration is still open for a few more days! Get your badge before the price goes up at the door, and get excited to meet Lexi and all the rest of our Guests of Honor in Milwaukee in less than two weeks!
