* OlderThanSheLooks: But still the youngest of the group voicing the Mane Six (Creator/AshleighBall was born a year and 5 months before her).

* OlderThanSheLooks: But still the youngest of the group voicing the Mane Six (Creator/AshleighBall was born 17 months before her).

* OlderThanSheLooks: But still the youngest of the group voicing the Mane Six (Creator/AshleighBall is about a year older).

Her American counterpart is either Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos or Creator/HyndenWalch.

* HiddenDepths: Holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering.

** Sometimes dovetails into OohMeAccentsSlipping ("Sonic Rainboom" sees her getting it in both directions).

* PlayingAgainstType: She was actually the first actress ever to play X-23, the character made famous by Dafne Keen in ''Film/{{Logan}}''.

* OlderThanSheLooks: But still the youngest of the group voicing the Mane Six (Ashleigh Ball is about a year older).

Her notable Western roles include Emmy of ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', young [[TheDanza AndrAIa]] in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', Lemon Meringue in ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'', Harmony Bear in ''Franchise/CareBears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'', Cathy in ''WesternAnimation/MonsterBusterClub'', and of course [[TalkingToHerself Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', characters that couldn't be any more different beyond the fact that they're cute and high-pitched. Andrea also voiced Zipzee and Sweetie Belle in the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 G3 era of My Little Pony]], which in her own words was "just [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweet, sweet, sweet]]." She was also the original voice of ComicBook/{{X 23}} when the character debuted in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', so she's got some super hero cred under her belt, too. Upcoming roles include Cylindria in the upcoming ''WesternAnimation/PacMan'' cartoon and the title character of the ''Literature/MayaTheBee'' remake. Pseudo-gamer cred and more cute!

Before the [[MemeticMutation memetic popularity]] of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]], her most famous role would probably be that of cute classic children's book character {{Literature/Madeline}}, whom she played in the 1990s series ''The New Adventures of Madeline'' (taking over the role from Tracey Lee-Smythe) and movie ''Lost in Paris''. After the movie she was replaced by Creator/ChantalStrand, who would ''also'' go on to voice a pink pony in ''Friendship is Magic''.

Her American counterpart is Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos.

Her notable Western roles include Emmy of ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', young [[TheDanza AndrAIa]] in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', Lemon Meringue in ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'', Harmony Bear in ''Franchise/CareBears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'', Cathy in ''WesternAnimation/MonsterBusterClub'', and of course [[TalkingToHerself Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', characters that couldn't be any more different beyond the fact that they're cute and high-pitched.

Like other Ocean Group actors she's done her share of anime dubs, notably Chi Chi in ''Manga/{{Dragonball}}'' and Mileina Vashti in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', who is described elsewhere on ThisWiki as "Pinkie Pie if she ''weren't'' hyper". Still cute.

->''"Well I’ve been doing it for about twenty years, I did films when I was a little kid, when I was about six or seven, I was in films and I had this really high voice, I did a series called ''WesternAnimation/DinoBabies'', that was my first one. And then after that I did ''Literature/{{Madeline}}'', yeah so it just kind of happened and then never went away. Then everyone said your [[VocalEvolution voice is going to change]] and you’ll be out... No, no, still on helium."''\\

--'''Andrea Libman''' summing up her career.

* OlderThanSheLooks

* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: Despite her lovably cute voice, [[http://youtu.be/rP61SQA-UWw she isn't very fond of listening to it herself]]. This led to an ironic meta joke in which Pinkie gushes over Fluttershy's singing voice (unlike Pinkie, Libman does Fluttershy's singing herself).

A cute voice to go with an absolutely cute character? Here she is!

Andrea Libman (born July 19, 1984 in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}, Ontario) is a Canadian voice actress working with Creator/TheOceanGroup, who has a knack for voicing [[TheCutie cute girls]]. Andrea started off as a child actress in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}} based shows and movies, such as ''Highlander'', ''Little Women'', and a notable appearance in an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'', [[Recap/TheXFilesS01E22BornAgain "Born]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbL0y-dkrw4 Again"]], as a cute yet possessed killer little girl. She eventually focused on voice over roles, starting with ''WesternAnimation/DinoBabies'' and ''Literature/{{Madeline}}'', mostly because she got braces for a while so live action people didn't want her but also because she's a tad camera shy.

Has a {{Facebook}} [[http://www.facebook.com/pages/Andrea-Libman/256050671110439 page]] and a {{Twitter}} [[http://twitter.com/#!/AndreaLibman account]].

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Despite voicing the hyperactive [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]], she doesn't fancy herself as being all that funny. Compare her [[http://twitter.com/#!/AndreaLibman Twitter feed]] to pony-co-star Creator/TaraStrong's [[http://twitter.com/#!/tarastrong Twitter feed]]. She's not [[CloudCuckoolander Pinkie]] in human form, that honor would go to her fellow My Little Pony castmate Creator/ClaireCorlett.
* OneOfUs: She refers to herself as a nerd, and actually thought she was going to be cast as [[BadassBookworm Twilight Sparkle]] initially when she auditioned for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

* PlayingAgainstType:
** X-23. The crew of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' introduce this really badass character, who is essentially a female version of Wolverine, and they cast the girl best known at the time as ''Madeline'' to play her?
** She's [[GenkiGirl Pinkie Pie]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', which already proves that she's great at this particular area.
** She played a CreepyChild with ''extra'' creepy in an ''X-Files'' episode.
* ReclusiveArtist: Before Friendship is Magic, little was really known about her and the only information of her was back when she was a little girl. No longer the case as of this day.

* WomanOfAThousandVoices: As she demonstrates in the Creator/EddieMurphy-esque [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCDKguHpklM "After-Birthday Party" sequence]] in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Party of One"]].

Like other Ocean Group actors she's done her share of anime dubs, notably Chi Chi in ''{{Dragonball}}'' and Mileina Vashti in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', who is described elsewhere on ThisWiki as "Pinkie Pie if she ''weren't'' hyper". Still cute.
