===Religion===
Megan said that she was going to pray while stuck in the [[Dungeons of Tambleon]] when facing off against {{MLP|Grogar}}, implying she may have been a religious person.
==Behind the scenes==
===Portrayal===
The portrayal of Megan has been somewhat obscured over the years. Various sources tend to cite one of two ladies as her voice, [[Bettina Bush]] and [[Ginny McSwain]], with some sources, such as the often unreliable IMDb confusingly listing Bush as the actress for 'Megan Williams' and McSwain as 'Megan'.
The oldest known reference to McSwain being the voice of Megan dates back to [[2002]] on an Angelfire website dedicated to 80s collecting.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020917004323/https://www.angelfire.com/80s/80s_collectibles/mlp_friends.html Seemingly nameless Angelfire website]</ref> The [[2006]] edition of TV Guide also lists McSwain as the voice of Megan.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780760775721/page/476/mode/2up?q=%22Ginny+McSwain%22 TV Guide 2006]</ref> The TV Guide website also lists McSwain as the voice of Megan in every single episode of the show, even in episodes she does not appear in.<ref>[https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/my-little-pony-n-friends/1030037221/ TV Guide cast and crew listing]</ref> No other known print source lists McSwain as Megan, making TV Guide the only 'official' source on the matter.
The generally reliable ''Behind the Voice Actors'' does not list McSwain as the voice of Megan in any incarnation<ref>[https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Ginny-McSwain/ Behind the Voice Actors - Ginny McSwain]</ref>, nor do any of the credits list McSwain as a voice actor, instead as a voice director. McSwain's own resume doesn't list her as the voice of Megan, however, her resume is noticeably barren.<ref>[http://www.ginnymcswain.com/ginnymcswainresu.html McSwain's resume]</ref>
Evidence of Bush being the voice of Megan is far more plentiful than internet sources. The credits sequence for every episode lists her, credited as '''Bettina''', however, as was the norm, did not identify her to a specific character. Bush's official resume listed her as the voice of Megan, though further information has not been properly archive.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120925060556/https://bettinabush.com/the-voice/voice-over/ Bettina Bush voice over resume]</ref>
As most guides and encyclopedias on American animation tend to just list off credit listings, most print sources tend to just list 'Bettina' with no further elaboration. The [[2011]] edition of ''The Video Source Book'' does however break this mold and list her Bush as the voice of Megan, however due to the recent nature of this book, it could just be listing off information gleamed from the internet.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781414475059/page/n5/mode/2up?q=%22Bettina+Bush%22 Video Source Book]</ref>
