Afterwards, he declared, “But I saved you.” At one point, Wilford and Audrey went to the Forbidden City together and ascended the Drepung Monastery’s steps. Audrey produced a majority of her albums on Wilford. Wilford bet her future on one trade after predicting that the Earth will freeze. A life for a spot on Snowpiercer with him.
Audrey immediately offers to assist Andre Layton in his hunt for the train killer and promises to provide all information obtained from the Night Car.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
She voices Coloratura in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Coloratura, a female Earth pony with the stage name Countess Coloratura and nickname Rara, is a minor character that can be seen in two episodes: The Mane Attraction (season 5) and The Last Problem (season 9). She is a well-known pop singer in Equestria and Applejack’s childhood pal.
Equestria’s pony pop sensation Coloratura initially got to know Applejack during Camp Friendship, where they collaborated on the song “Equestria, the Land I Love.” She afterwards relocated to Manhattan in order to achieve fame. She sings at the Helping Hooves Music Festival as a pop singer nowadays, going by the stage name “Countess Coloratura”. When Applejack finds out that her manager Svengallop is abusing her fame, he leaves her.
Coloratura performs “The Magic Inside” in front of a sizable crowd after learning to love who she really is. The Last Problem and Honest Apple both make reference to her. Hall’s 2014 Tony Awards “red carpet look” served as inspiration for Coloratura’s design. The name “Countess Coloratura” was intentionally created by episode writer Amy Keating Rogers to have a title and musical allusion. The term “coloratura” in Italian music describes a complex vocal melody arrangement, especially in opera.
