A New Destiny (song)

**A New Destiny** is a song heard in some episodes of *Guardians of Harmony* and its AUs. It is sung to the tune of A New Pair of Wings.

## Lyrics

I wonder what is next for me,
my mentor, and those that precede.
I joined the line of royalty;
a tradition old as time,
but I am just a normal girl,
with a brand new destiny.
I don't know why,
but I will shine.
I wonder what it is they see
that makes me worthy of this role.
I joined the line of royalty;
a tradition old as time,
but I am just a normal girl,
with a brand new destiny.
I don't know why,
but I will shine, but I will shine.
With a brand new destiny.

## Trivia

* Each female character (Guardian or ally) sings this song.
	+ Notably, reformed villains sing it after becoming Guardians, such as Mira, Nicole, Tsukiko, and Honoko.
* When Amber first sings the song, she sings it horribly off-key, but doesn't mess up in later episodes.
* As a running gag, Nanette will get interrupted by Sugar trying to horribly sing it and butchering the lyrics (such as "BUT I'M JUSTEEY A NORMAL FISHEEY!"), but her mother will always cut her off.
	+ The first time Nanette sang it, she doesn't get interrupted while Chloe Cerise grows to like the song. As a matter of fact, the latter sang the song without any problems during her graduation ceremony following her return to Vermilion City (the first time Nanette visits).
* While not currently made in real-time, each character's version of the music video is different in visuals (and sometimes lines):
	+ The line "my mentor, and those that precede" is replaced with "my mother, and those that She made" in Victoria's version, referring to the fact that the Divinity created her and the Ancestral Deities. This is one of the only versions in which a line is altered, and the visuals are altered almost completely in her case.
	+ Nicole's version changes the line "I joined the line of royalty" to "I joined the side of light."
	+ As confirmed in her version, Elfreda will make a contract with Kyubey due to her strong will in season 2 and soon become the "sixth ranger" of said season.
	+ Julia doesn't luckily mess up anything at all in her version of the video, and like the original music video (concerning an Alicorn Starlight Glimmer and Twilight Sparkle), Fennel is seen trying to talk to her student.
	+ Avvy also luckily doesn't mess anything up, but she sings it while playing a glockenspiel (a xylophone-like toy for little kids).
	+ Also much like the original music video (concerning an Alicorn Starlight Glimmer and Twilight Sparkle), Aurea tries to talk to Nanette in a visual, before the singing starts.
	+ At the end of Whitely's version, Nanette's voice reassures her that she is ready to fulfill her true destiny, but this resulted out-of-universe in an unintentionally spoiled leak.
	+ In her version of the music video, Emilia is actually seen flying with Eevee-colored Alicorn wings, making this the only time she is seen with wings at all.
	+ Serena Gabena has a notable difference in her version: instead of being seen flying, she does a performance. The 2nd flight scene is kept, however, as the only flight scene.
* During the (currently made-up) final franchise trailer, there are some notable differences:
	+ The song is instrumental.
	+ The "mentor-talking-to-student" scene is cut.
	+ Different scenes from each season are used instead of original animation.
	+ The silhouette of Megan Williams is seen holding a book at the end.
* Whenever she sings it, Nina's voice seems to sound exactly like the vocals heard in the original music video.
* The made-up German version was sung by Homura's official English VA. This may have been an error.
* This song is played as an insert in part 2 of A Midsummer Night's Cure.
