Duc Volpe

Duc Volpe is a male character and one of the main antagonists in the Luna the Miracle Boy story episode – the Rainbow Rocks. He is a backup singer in his band – the Dazzlings, rivaling the Friheten Rainbooms.
Like those of his female band mates: Princess Aulia and Cecil de Puce, Volpe's fin-like wings are translucent and non-feathered. His non-siren forms are similar in color scheme to his counterpart person that depicted as one of the presidents in the Stronghold Crusader series. In music terms, the word "Volpe" refers to a composition for an instrumental soloist, often with a piano accompaniment. Both the original animistic of the opening credits depict Volpe wearing purple-tinted sunglasses. Only his blue belt appears in the final story.
==Depictions in the series==
===Luna the Miracle Boy: Rainbow Rocks===
In this story episode, Volpe and the other Dazzlings are introduced to the present-day Republic of Petrovburg. They are sirens from Equestria who were banished from the republic by Sweyn Forkbeard before they could conquer Petrovburg with Aulia's curse magic. They first appear in a café causing tension between the patrons, and Volpe briefly argues with Princess Aulia. Soon after, they convince all of the presidential civilians except Luna and his friends with their music to turn the friendly CPU Musical Showcase into an all-out Battle of the Bands.
Volpe and the Dazzlings use their siren's songs to control the presidential civilians' opinion and advance through the competition bracket. In the final battle against the Friheten Rainbooms, Volpe and the Dazzlings are eventually defeated, and the gem pendants with which they controlled the students are destroyed. As a result, their inability to sing leads to them being chased off in disgrace.
Aside from flashbacks, Volpe's true form is never physically shown in the story, but he and his fellow band members gain pony-like ears, extended ponytails, and translucent fin-like wings. They also summon astral projections of their siren forms from their pendants.
===Luna the Miracle Boy: Friendship Games===
A drawing of Volpe's siren form is briefly seen in Friendship Games during the CPU Rally Song. His siren form can also be seen in one of Roman's photos.
===Luna the Miracle Boy: Better Together===
Duc Volpe, alongside with Princess Aulia and Cecil de Puce, make their return in the musical segment Find the Magic, performing at the Sweyn Forkbeard's Music Festival and singing about adjusting to life without their magic.
===Luna the Miracle Boy: Roman Backstage Pass===
Volpe along with the rest of the Dazzlings return in this story episode as performers at the Sweyn Forkbeard's Music Festival. They appear as suspects to who has been causing the time loop, only for Martin to misunderstand that she really meant that their song, Find the Magic, was looped while they were on stage. When Martin checks their van only to not find the Time Twirler and after reading Aulia's mind, Martin finds out that they weren't responsible. Volpe and the rest of the Dazzlings continue to harass Martin before leaving in their van. Volpe mentions that he once accidentally started a fire by putting tacos in a toaster.

===LMB Novelization Scenes===
Duc Volpe is featured in the Rainbow Rocks screenplay novelization scene Presidential Music Event, Panorama Sticker Storybook, and appears again in Sweyn Forkbeard's Efforts.
==Personality==
Throughout Rainbow Rocks story episode, Duc Volpe is shown to be somewhat air-headed and carefree, similar to Celestia the Celestial Diva. Before the Dazzlings sing Battle in the cafeteria, Volpe is more focused on getting lunch since it is Taco Tuesday. Also, he and Celestia are the only ones who actually seem to enjoy Snips and Snails' rap performance. Volpe doesn't pick up on Cecil's sarcasm as she says she "loves" the republic, and he speaks candidly with Luna about him and the Petrovburg Heroes' true nature, nearly blowing their cover. In addition, he frequently argues with Princess Aulia over trivial matters. Despite this, he can be just as cruel and devious as her, if at times unintentionally so, as evidenced in his interactions with Luna and Cecil Lulamoon.
