Title: Ember's Apparently Swapped Genders
Post by: StarSwirl05 on September 23, 2019, 06:53:42 AM: The Greek airing of Season 7 apparently has her with a male voice. Sounds like G3 Star Catcher's little book incident.

Spoiler
where a female model foal has the voice of a grown man doing a high pitch.

It annoys me with Ember because she is a tiny female who becomes Dragonlord and is not very girly (unlike Smolder who is hyper girly but hides it).
As a boy Ember is only half as interesting. Boy characters get to succeed their ruler dads all the time.

She's a dragon! Her character design is pretty neat:

I think it's a pretty feminine design, so giving her a male voice actor might just cause some confusion lol.
