Andrea Libman is a Canadian actress from Toronto. She has often worked as a voice actress in animated works. Her best known roles were the regular characters Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie in the long-running fantasy series "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" (2010-2019) and most of its spin-offs.Her major characters were noted for their contradictory traits. Fluttershy was typically depicted as soft-spoken, gentle and caring towards nearly all animals, and extremely loyal towards her relatively few friends. But when acting sternly and assertively, she could intimidate fellow ponies, cockatrices, and giant dragons. Several episodes also explored Fluttershy's anger-management issues, as she had several instances of explosive rage. Pinkie Pie was typically depicted as an excitable and fun-loving baker, party organizer, and entertainer. She considered it her life's goal to bring joy to nearly everyone she met. But several episodes explored Pinkie's insecurities, her fears that her friends did not respect her or that they would eventually abandon her, and her self-doubt when confronted with skilled rivals.Libman has had several other notable roles in animation. She voiced Ikuko Otonashi in the English dub of "Maison Ikkoku" (1986-1988). The character was depicted as the young niece of the series' female lead, Kyoko Otonashi.

Her character was depicted in the series as a female clone of Wolverine, created by the espionage organization HYDRA. X-23 was depicted as a living weapon, who was "trying to become a real little girl". A new version of the character was soon introduced in Marvel's comic books, and eventually became a popular character in her own right. The comic book version of X-23/Laura Kinney was also initially depicted as a female clone of Wolverine, but she was later revealed to be his biological daughter.Libman voiced Zipzee, a female Breezie (insect-like pony), in several direct-to video films of the Generation 3 incarnation of "My Little Pony".

Sweetie Belle was depicted as the only unicorn in Ponyville.Libman voiced the co-protagonist Cathy Smith in "Monster Buster Club" (2008-2009). Cathy was a humanoid alien who had settled on Earth and had taken a human form. She appeared to be a normal 12-year-old girl, but she was actually 250 years and belonged to a species with long lifespans. She was still an adolescent by the standards of her species. Her superhuman powers included the ability to stretch her limbs and to communicate through telepathy.Libman voiced the hairstylist and inventor Lemon Meringue in "Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures" (2010-2015). Lemon was depicted as creative and quick-thinking, but single-minded in the pursuit of her goals and overly competitive . In the 4th season of the series, Libman also voiced the new character of Sweet Grapes. The character was rather optimistic in trying to improve the mood and behavior of her twin sister Sour Grapes, who was perpetually in a foul mood and rarely demonstrated affection for others (including Sweet).Libman voiced the anthropomorphic bee Maya in "Maya the Bee" (2012-2017). The series was an adaptation of the children's book "The Adventures of Maya the Bee" (1912) by Waldemar Bonsels, which has received several adaptations in the century following its original publication.

She remained loyal to her hive, and warned them in advance of a hornet attack on the bees.Libman voiced the regular character of Cylindria in "Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures" (2013-2015). Cylindria was the bespectacled best friend of the heroic Pac-Man, and the brains behind some of his operations.

The female ghost Pinky viewed Cylindria as her main rival in winning Pac's affection.Libman voiced Bramble the Kelpie in a 2018 episode of "DuckTales". Kelpies are shape-shifting water spirits in Scottish folklore, often in horse form. They supposedly carried many riders into the depths of the waters in order to drown them. In the episode, Bramble and her ally Briar tried repeatedly to win the trust of the Duck family and their companions in order to lure them to their death. Since the Ducks were aware of the nature of kelpies, the plan never worked. The design of Bramble was based on the form of Twilight Sparkle, the protagonist of "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic".By 2022, Libman was 38-years-old. She has had an active career since the 1990s, and seems to have no interest in retiring yet. She has gained a fan following due to her many memorable characters in animated series, and her connection to several long-running franchises. She seems likely to gain further key roles in animated works.
