### Luna the Miracle Boy: Friendship Games

Benjamin appears as a student of the French-stylized private university – Seborga High School, and a member of its sports team, the SH Shadowbolts. He first appears on the bus to the Canterlot Presidential University, exhibiting much more excitement about winning the Friendship Games than his fellow competitors. He startles Roman by his high enthusiasm, and when the bus arrives, he shoves Roman aside as she disembarks. During Canterlot Presidentials' welcoming party for Seborga High, Benjamin gets in both Luna and Jason's faces.

Benjamin participates in the Academic Decathlon of the Friendship Games, being paired with Husniati during the woodshop portion. They construct a two-story birdhouse that wins the event, he and Husniati gloats over their victory to Victor and Tevfik. During the spelling bee event, he is eliminated for misspelling the word "chauffeur".

In the Tri-Cross Relay, Benjamin is paired with Pavel in motocross against Celestia and Jason. When the track is attacked by plant monsters from Equestria, Jason saves him from being devoured. He recovers and gets back in the race, but Celestia eventually wins.

During the final event, Benjamin joins Principal Keith and the other SH Shadowbolts in pressuring Roman into releasing the magic accumulated inside her amulet, and he watches as the magic transforms Roman into the monstrous Nightmare Moon.

## Special story depictions

## Personality

Benjamin has a similar personality to Jason, in that he is extremely competitive and has an unbridled passion for winning, even by Seborga High's standards. However, much like his college mates, he lacks sportsmanship and has a tendency to push others around, whether by accident or to gloat over his victories. When he believes Canterlot Presidentials is cheating by using magic, he is willing to use peer pressure Roman in order to help their team level the playing field. He later reveals a compassionate side to himself by rushing in to save his rivals when his team's actions put both campuses in danger.
