My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/Background Ponies: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"[[All There in Thethe Script|Lyra]], [[All There in Thethe Script|Heartstrings]] or [[You Are Number Six|Incidental Unicorn #2]]...When I first started working on the show, I never expected people to [[Ensemble Darkhorse|latch on to the background ponies like they have]]. It's nice to see."''|'''Nayuki''', one of the show's layout artists [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=83134&view=findpost&p=1942803 on The Allspark Forums] }}

[[Ensemble Darkhorse|The most popular characters in the show]]<ref> besides the Mane Six</ref>. Seriously these mostly nameless extras are pretty much why ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has its own [[Ensemble Darkhorse/My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic|Ensemble Darkhorse page]]. Perhaps it's the unique art style that gives them a little more personality, or the memorable gag scenes they feature in. Whatever the reason, the fans can't get enough of them. Below are listed the most popular background ponies.

We should note that not many of the ponies on this page have been named within the show (and even those that have been named have mostly only been named once in conversation, so it's unknown if their in-show names are their full and/or real names). A mostly European toyline has produced ponies of similar appearance (see [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Analysis|the main Analysis page]] for details), so some more names are taken from there. Almost all of the others only have [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]], and a small number of them don't even have that.

For fanon trivia go to the [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Analysis/Background Ponies/Analysis|Background Ponies Analysis page]].

*** Her [http://content.usatoday.com/communities/popcandy/post/2012/05/exclusive-preview-the-2012-special-edition-my-little-pony/1 toy's box] and several pieces of licensed [[The Merch|merchandise]] have both referenced muffins being her [[Trademark Favorite Food]]. In the show, she's merely one of several ponies who gathered at the free muffin sample spectacular during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|Applebuck Season]]" (others of whom were licking their lips or even drooling) and may or may not have said "muffin" while at said gathering (see [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]] below). However, in the second opening and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|Hearth's Warming Eve]]" she appears riding in the Friendship Express Train's Ice Cream Train Car (which in the show looks more a cupcake or a muffin), and she wore a saddlebag with a muffin-shaped clip during "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]".

*** Licensed [[The Merch|merchandise]] has also referenced her being a mailmare. In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]" she's part of a team of pegasi unloading packages from a truck, but neither she nor the other members of the team are wearing any of the mailpony uniforms that would later be shown in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E11 Family Appreciation Day|Family Appreciation Day]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|The Last Roundup]]", and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]", and [[Word of God]] has [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/fim-layout-guy-answering-questions-on.html called] the team a moving company.

** The [[IOS Games|iOS app]] ''[http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-little-pony-ruckus-reader/id498464830 Ruckus Reader]'''s storybook ''Rarity Loves Fashion'' reveals that [[Fan Nickname|South Pole]] (one of the large Canterlot unicorn stallions from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|"The Best Night Ever"]]) is a movie star who Rarity made clothes for.

* [[All There in Thethe Script]]: Out-of-show media<ref>the toys and collector cards, a storyboard for the show, filenames on Hasbro and/or [[The Hub]]'s websites, two of [[The Hub]]'s commercials, the official [[Face BookFacebook]] and/or [[Twitter]] pages of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' and [[The Hub]], Mighty Fine's [[The Merch|officially licensed merchandise]] and the titles, descriptions and/or tags of said merchandise on their online store WeLoveFine, the [[Tumblr]] of WeLoveFine and an [[EBay (Website)|E Bay]] auction</ref> have used the following names: Amethyst Star, Berry Punch, Bon Bon, Chance-a-lot (Caramel), Cherry Berry, Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo (Derpy), DJ Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch, Doctor Whooves X, Doctor Whooves XI, Golden Harvest, Goldengrape, Lemon Hearts, Lyra Heartstrings, Meadow Song, Merry May, Minuette, Noteworthy, Octavia, Rainbowshine, Royal Riff, Sassaflash, Sea Swirl, Shoeshine, Sunny Rays, Twilight Sky, and Twinkleshine.

* [[Ascended Fanon]]: [[The Merch]] from WeLoveFine, while officially licensed, has a lot fan-designed content and thus more likely to use [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]] (see [[All There in Thethe Script]] above for a complete list) and reference [[Fanon]] concepts like Derpy being a mailmare and Vinyl having [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|bright red eyes]]. Only Derpy has had any [[Ascended Fanon]] in the show itself; see her entry for details.

* [[Depending Onon the Artist|Depending on the Animator]]:

*** Most background fillies usually have no cutie marks, but they switch between several different marks in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]", occasionally regaining them for later episodes.

*** Pokey Pierce has a safety pin cutie mark in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" and an hourglass cutie mark in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]". Both versions appear at different points in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]".

*** In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E11 Winter Wrap Up|Winter Wrap Up]]", Caramel has a different mark at the beginning of the scene where he's referred to by name but later in the scene it's replaced with his usual mark. In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]", he temporarily switches to having Coconut's eye color, tail, and cutie mark when he's first shown pulling the carriage. And in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E16 Read It and Weep|Read It and Weep]]", a unicorn Caramel appears as a doctor with yet another mark.

*** Shoeshine's mane and tail are sometimes a different color than usual in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2]]", usually when she's wearing [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Party_pony_2.png a certain outfit]. (In the latter two episodes, she also appears with her usual mane and tail color while wearing a different outfit, and in the last episode both versions appear alongside each other.)

*** Lemon Hearts's eyes even change shape; normally they're red and shaped like most ponies' eyes but when she's seen running during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E2 Elements of Harmony|Friendship is Magic, part 2]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E3 The Ticket Master|The Ticket Master]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|Applebuck Season]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E6 Boast Busters|Boast Busters]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E10 Swarm of the Century|Swarm of the Century]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E13 Fall Weather Friends|Fall Weather Friends]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", they're blue and shaped like Rarity and the Spa Ponies' eyes. And for at least one shot in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]", she's an Earth pony with eyes that are blue but normal-shaped.

** Pokey Pierce has a longer and sharper horn than usual during his balloon popping scene in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" and at one point during "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]" as well as in the [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=256161614401283 Comic-Con 2011 poster]/[http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.262953797055398.84804.118429394841173 desktop background].

** Ponies that usually bear the same cutie mark and coloring as [[All There in Thethe Script|Doctor Whooves X]] have appeared throughout the series with slightly varied physical appearances. This is often used to support the theory of his being a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' shout-out since these could easily be explained as different regenerations. The most common one is a brown adult Earth Pony but variants include:

*** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|A brown Pegasus]]

*** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|A younger-looking brown Earth pony]]

*** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|A blue]] [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|blond-maned]] [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E24 Mystery On the Friendship Express|Earth]] [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|pony]] ([[Depending Onon the Artist|on at least one occasion, a unicorn]]) [[Peter Davison|with a]] [[Bow Ties Are Cool|bowtie]]

*** [[All There in Thethe Script|Doctor Whooves XI]], [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|a black and gray Earth pony]] [[Matt Smith|with a]] [[Bow Ties Are Cool|bowtie]] [[Nice Hat|and top hat]]

** Caramel has several different versions: there's the regular Earth stallion, an Earth pony [[Gender Swap|mare]] (seen in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|Over a Barrel]]") a Big Macintosh [[Palette Swap]] Earth stallion with green eyes (seen in the first opening and in the show proper during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]"), and a unicorn stallion who's a doctor (seen in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E16 Read It and Weep|Read It and Weep]]"). Additionally, regular Caramel has a different cutie mark at the beginning of the scene in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E11 Winter Wrap Up|Winter Wrap Up]]" where he's named.

*** "[[Fan Nickname|Bruce Mane]]," an Earth pony with a darker mane color and a lighter tail color who appears in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E24 Mystery On the Friendship Express|MMMystery on the Friendship Express]]" ([[Depending Onon the Artist|sometimes with a different cutie mark]]), and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2]]", as well as in the [[Web Games]] ''[http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlpfim-dj-pinkie-pie DJ Pinkie Pie]'', on three of [[The Hub]]'s [http://www.hubworld.com/hubworld/specials/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-downloadables/ wallpapers] and on the licensed [[The Merch|shirt]] ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=938 Rarity Prefers] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1115 Diamonds]''.

*** Derpy [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/115933 has been] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7768176/1/Equestria_Songbook compared to] G1 Applejack, and has also been compared to Minty, G3's resident [[Cute Clumsy Girl]] who was also voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain]]. Appearance-wise, Derpy's a lot like G3 Earth pony Bubblecup.

*** Bon Bon is believed to be one of G1 Bon Bon from ''[[My Little Pony Tales (Animation)|My Little Pony Tales]]''.

*** Blossomforth was previously a [[My Little Pony G 3 (Animation)|G3/G3.5]] [http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G3_Blossomforth Earth] [http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Ponyville_Blossomforth pony].

*** In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E24 Mystery On the Friendship Express|MMMystery on the Friendship Express]]", and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2]]" there's a [http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/b/be/Hddoctormix.png yellow haired blue pony] with (usually) the same cutie mark who looks like the 5th Doctor [[Peter Davison]].

*** In "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]", there's a [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/93448 black and grey pony] (also with an hourglass cutie mark) that appeared that ([http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1453017/2307272367 most likely coincidentally]) resembles either the 11th Doctor [[Matt Smith]] or the 2nd Doctor [[Patrick Troughton]] (who fans have ponified his name into "Patrick Trotton"). He was the first Doctor look-a-like to be spotted more prominently by fans<ref>although there were a few instances but it was barely noticeable</ref> after a long time since the end of season one and got a lot of attention from it, spawning a new speculation that the brown Doctor Whooves has regenerated into him. This was later referenced by the licensed [[The Merch|shirt]] ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1913 9 10] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2147 11]'', giving the black and grey pony the [[All There in Thethe Script]] name Doctor Whooves XI and specifying that the brown pony is Doctor Whooves X (as well as introducing a [[Canon Foreigner]] Doctor Whooves IX).

* [[Fandom Nod]]: The animation staff, [[The Hub]] and Hasbro are all too aware of the fandom's fondness of background ponies so [[Fandom Nod|Fandom Nods]] can be seen from time to time from the show itself<ref>with Derpy being the most prominent...especially in Season 2</ref> to other branches of the ''MLP'' franchise such as advertisements<ref>[[The Hub]]'s ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo Equestria Girls]'' commercial is a prime example</ref>, official websites<ref>such as the official [[Face BookFacebook]] and/or [[Twitter]] pages of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' and [[The Hub]] mentioning the brony fandom more than once and even using the ([[Ascended Fanon|since canonized]]) background pony [[Fan Nickname]] "Derpy" [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/upcoming-derpy-toy.html a] [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=275448695837553 few] [http://twitter.com/#!/HubTVNetwork/status/148052378967478272 times]</ref> and merchandise<ref>several of the Blind Bag ponies resemble some of the fandom's favorite background ponies</ref>.

** Derpy has been used for background gags starting with "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]," such as popping out of a well as described above, waving from behind the curtain on a stage in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|Hearth's Warming Eve]]", etc.

** Lyra and Bon Bon often have these moments together. For example, [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111022020123/mlp/images/thumb/6/6e/Bon_Bon_Lyra_Heartstrings_s02e03.png/830px-Bon_Bon_Lyra_Heartstrings_s02e03.png fighting under the influence of the "Want It, Need It" spell while Rarity and Fluttershy are talking to each other] in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]". However, Lyra sometimes appears by herself doing some outrageous stuff. In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]", she appears in Cloudsdale, [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111101235658/mlp/images/f/f1/Lyra_Heartstrings_on_Cloud.PNG bouncing up and down on a cloud]. Keep in mind, she's a ''unicorn'', and even if she did use a cloudwalking spell, there's no indication how she managed to get up there.

** Holly Dash from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E10 Swarm of the Century|Swarm of the Century]]" has tri-colored hair.

** Bruce Mane's mane and tail are both solid colors, but they're different shades of dark gray. Similar effects using completely different colors happen with a few other background ponies for individual shots in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E11 Winter Wrap Up|Winter Wrap Up]]" and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]".

* [[No Name Given]]: Leading to plenty of [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]]. The ones that ''do'' have in-show names (excluding [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/Mane Family Members/Characters|the Mane Cast's relatives]] and [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Celebronies/Characters/Celebronies|the Wonderbolts]]) are Rose<ref>called Roseluck in the Blind Bags</ref>, Daisy<ref>called Flower Wishes in the toy line</ref>, Caramel<ref>called Chance-a-lot in the Blind Bags</ref>, Mr. Breezy, Sunny Daze, Peachy Pie, Hayseed Turnip Truck, Lickety Split, Junebug, Stinkin' Rich, Derpy<ref>possibly Ditzy Doo</ref>, Mr. Waddle, Mr. Greenhooves, Thunderlane, Flitter, Cloudchaser, Silverspeed, Blossomforth, and Rumble; some more have [[All There in Thethe Script]] names (listed under that trope above). Moondancer, Bumpkin<ref>possibly Apple family member Apple Bumpkin</ref>, Ditzy Doo<ref>possibly Derpy</ref>, Pete, Mr. Kingpin, Wild Bull Hickok, Calamity Mane, Thornhoof, and Namby-Pamby have been mentioned but not shown.

** This goes for any elderly pony who appears in the show (a couple of elderly mares have the same build as Granny Smith). Besides Mr. Greenhooves and Mr. Waddle, we've seen an elderly pegasus mare working at the Cloudsdale Weather Factory during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]" and more elderly ponies appear during the second opening in the Friendship Express Train's Ice Cream Train Car and during the show proper in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E6 The Cutie Pox|The Cutie Pox]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E23 Ponyville Confidential|Ponyville Confidential]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E25 A Canterlot Wedding Part 1|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1]]", and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2]]".

** Pokey Pierce [[Depending Onon the Artist|sometimes]] has an unusually long and sharp horn.

** Archer, an earth pony [[Palette Swap]] of Scootaloo seen in Apple Bloom's class at the beginning of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" and playing an arcade game in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day|Hearts and Hooves Day]]", has a blue tongue. (It's most likely just an animation error but unlike other tongue discoloration animation errors, her tongue is blue every time we see it.)

** Several ponies with unique hairstyles can be glimpsed at the beginning of Rarity's first fashion show in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E14 Suited for Success|Suited For Success]]" (most of them behind Spike's silhouette).

** Boxy Brown, the huge, gruffy and bulky stallion who appears as a Pegasus during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]" and as an Earth pony during "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]". (He's bigger than Big Macintosh, probably bigger than Celestia herself and even had beard stubble!)

** The spa masseuse from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E23 Ponyville Confidential|Ponyville Confidential]]".

** Some ponies are tall and thin (a few having the same build as Mr. Cake), including the saloon keeper pony from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|Over a Barrel]]", Allie Way, Jesus and Donny from "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E6 The Cutie Pox|The Cutie Pox]]", the doctor from "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E10 Secret of My Excess|Secret of My Excess]]", and the mailpony from "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|The Last Roundup]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]".

*** The spa ponies Aloe and Lotus. There's also a third "spa pony" who appears in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E18 The Show Stoppers|The Show Stoppers]]" and gets a [http://arch.413chan.net/spa_pony-%28n1300501971696%29.png rainbow afro courtesy of the CMC]--whether she's related to the other two remains to be seen.

*** The scarecrow-costumed band from "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|Luna Eclipsed]]" consists of [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/75034 recolors] of Octavia, Harpo, and the two bandmates they had in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]". Notably, Harpo's banjo playing counterpart looks like Doctor Whooves.

*** One of Caramel's [[Depending Onon the Artist|variations]], seen in the first opening and in the show proper during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]", "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]", is a Big Macintosh recolor.

*** Holly Dash from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E10 Swarm of the Century|Swarm of the Century]]" is a freckled unicorn recolor of Rainbow Dash, though she has only been seen in a pony galloping animation loop so far so we don't know what her mane and tail normally looks like in an idle stance. Ponies with the Lyra Heartstrings/Amethyst Star model tend to [[Depending Onon the Artist|use Rainbow Dash's running animation when they gallop]], specifically how the mane and tail are drawn, so it's possible that she would most likely look like them when she's not running.

*** An Earth Pony recolor of Scootaloo has appeared twice: sitting in the front row of Cheerilee's class during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" and playing an arcade game during "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day|Hearts and Hooves Day]]".

*** "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" also includes one recolor each of Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. The Sweetie Belle recolor appears in the front row of Cheerilee's class and due to an animation error is replaced by Sweetie Belle herself during two different shots. The Diamond Tiara recolor appears at the cuteceañera, walking alongside Twist during one shot. The Silver Spoon recolor also appears at the cuteceañera, wearing a [[Nice Hat]] which Apple Bloom tries to hide behind during one shot.

*** In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]", [[Fan Nickname|Tootsie Flute]] becomes a Scootaloo recolor for one shot, losing her horn as a result.

*** "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|Over a Barrel]]" has a half-example: a strange variation of [[All There in Thethe Script|Cherry Berry]] can be seen bucking trees when the citizens of Appleloosa are frantically harvesting apples before the buffalo attack. Her back half has her usual design, but her front half is a recolor of Applejack's, minus the tied-up bit of hair at the end of her mane. She also wears a duplicate of Applejack's hat at one point and reuses one of Applejack's tree bucking animation sequences from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|Applebuck Season]]".

*** The cast of the play in Rarity's [[Flash Back]] during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|The Cutie Mark Chronicles]]" includes a pair of fillies who are recolors of Pinkie Pie and Applejack. The Pinkie Pie recolor is dressed as a piece of cake and the Applejack recolor is dressed as a bunch of fruit with a hat made to look like a bowl of fruit.

* [[Ship Tease]]: While [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day|"Hearts and Hooves Day"]] does show at least one background pony [[Official Couple]] (Caramel with [[All There in Thethe Script|Sassaflash]], plus a few more heavily implied couples), the episode has many more pairs of background ponies simply standing beside other in aerial shots of Ponyville, including Derpy [[All There in Thethe Script|Hooves]] with [[All There in Thethe Script|Doctor Whooves X]] and Mr. Waddle with the light purple elderly earth pony mare. One of these aerial shots is reused a couple of times in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E23 Ponyville Confidential|"Ponyville Confidential"]], strengthening the [[Ship Tease|Ship Teases]] in said shot.

* [[You Are Number Six]]: Not in-universe but since the majority of them are [[No Name Given|unnamed]], the animation studio gives them this treatment. Lyra Heartstrings for example [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83134&view=findpost&p=1942803 is] [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83134&view=findpost&p=1944423 called] "Incidental Unicorn #2" (as neither half of her [[All There in Thethe Script]] name is used by the animation studio). Not all of them necessarily have numbers, though, particularly the ones with [[Non Standard Character Design]] such as Mr. Greenhooves (who was known only as "Hayseed Pony" prior to "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]") and [[Fan Nickname|Ace]] (who is known only as "Tennis Pony").

* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: In the toys and their art, nearly all of the background ponies who appear in the toy line are reduced to [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]] of other ponies, and a few of them have color differences of various degrees.

Derpy [[All There in Thethe Script|Hooves]] is a grey Pegasus with a cluster of bubbles as her cutie mark. She is, quite simply, the ''ultimate'' [[Ensemble Darkhorse|darkhorse pony]] in a series overflowing with them. Derpy was "born" when she was drawn making a face in the background of the first episode<ref> (according to a layout artist, she was posed this way on purpose but meant to be hidden behind another pony; a later tweak revealed her face)</ref>. Her unusual expression proved phenomenally popular with the [[Periphery Demographic|brony fans]] who nicknamed her "Derpy Hooves" and quickly turned her into a [[Memetic Mutation|meme]]. The animators started giving her own scripted scenes in Season 2, and the episode [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|"The Last Roundup"]] [[Suddenly Voiced|gave her lines]] and ([[Orwellian Retcon|in the original version]]) referred to her on-screen as "Derpy."

She's also known as "Ditzy Doo" by a lot of fans (and, very rarely, by [[The Merch|Mighty Fine]]'s online store WeLoveFine), after a character mentioned in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E11 Winter Wrap Up|"Winter Wrap Up"]], who [[Lauren Faust]] had considered using Derpy's design for. In fact, [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html according to Amy Keating Rogers], the first draft of "The Last Roundup" did in fact use the name "Ditzy Doo" until she was asked to change it to "Derpy" as a [[Fandom Nod]].

More analysis on Derpy is available on [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Analysis/Background Ponies/Analysis|the analysis page]].

* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Possibly; she's only one of three ponies whose lip flaps match [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usYRXYdBG30 the famous "muffin" line] in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|Applebuck Season]]" (the other two being Sea Swirl and Minuette). It isn't clear which of them are actually saying the line (or if it's meant to represent all three). And since background ponies generally don't have consistent voices, that can't be used to narrow it down.

* [[Cast Herd]]: In Season 1 she's often seen alongside fellow pegasi Parasol/Showers and [[Palette Swap|Raindrops]], both sharing her famous "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]" scene with her. In Season 2 she's usually, if seen with somepony else, with Golden Harvest or Doctor Whooves in various [[Fandom Nod|Fandom Nods]].

** During a collective [[GASP]] in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]", hers is a bit later than the rest of the crowd's.

* [[The Ditz]]: Pretty much a walking (or flying) disaster area. First implied from the annoyed look on her supervisor's face when she accidentally pummels Twilight with everything but the kitchen sink in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]" and when she accidentally drains the barrel of water and apples in "Luna Eclipsed". Confirmed in "The Last Roundup" as she pretty much demolishes Ponyville's city hall while she was helping Rainbow Dash to hang some banners on it. She even manages to break the floor and drag Rainbow Dash to the hall's basement with her, literally by sitting there and doing nothing as ordered.

* [[Fish Eyes]]: Surprisingly enough [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] most of the time (her eyes face inward more often than outward), but played straight for brief moments in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E18 The Show Stoppers|The Show Stoppers]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]", and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]".

* [[Funny Background Event]]: Her very expression [http://www.moondancerdreaming.com/images/random/Derpy1.png in the first episode] and in later episodes following "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]". Spotting her is a [[Where's Waldo]]-esque game for fans.

* [[The Klutz]]: During "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Feeling Pinkie Keen]]" she drops several items of furniture from a delivery truck in comical fashion on Twilight Sparkle's head, while during "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|The Last Roundup]]" she partially destroys Ponyville's city hall, which later becomes an important part of the plot.

* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Her [[Delayed Reaction]] [[GASP]] in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]" is either this or [[Vocal Dissonance]] (it's unknown whether she was voiced by a woman or a man in that episode).

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Mighty Fine's online store WeLoveFine has very rarely misspelled her names in the tags of their [[The Merch|merchandise]]'s pages:

** Her [[Delayed Reaction]] [[GASP]] in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]" is either this or [[Larynx Dissonance]] (it's unknown whether she was voiced by a woman or a man in that episode).

She seems to have been made with [[Funny Background Event|Funny Background Events]] in mind. She's been spotted happily waving hi to Twilight early in the pilot episode, jumping up and down excitedly, mugging for the camera, and sitting on a bench like a human being among other things. Is often seen alongside Bon Bon. [[All There in the Manual|According to her collector cards]], she "sings all day!" and "loves to play!"

An analysis on Lyra Heartstrings is available on [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Analysis/Background Ponies/Analysis|the analysis page]].

* [[Ascended Fanon]]: After her [[All There in Thethe Script]] name was revealed to be "Heartstrings", most fans opted to compromise by making "Heartstrings" her surname, i.e. "Lyra Heartstrings". [[Sure Why Not|This was incorporated into her Wave 5 Blind Bag version]]. This is also one of the first times Hasbro has used a [[Fan Nickname]] for an official pony toy.

* [[Exorcist Head]]: At the beginning of Rainbow Dash's [[Imagine Spot]] during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E3 The Ticket Master|The Ticket Master]]", [[You All Look Familiar|one Lyra Heartstrings]] in the back [[Aside Glance|turns to face the camera for a split second]] then immediately turns her head back the other way, and it keeps spinning as [[Blooper|an error box indicating the animation error flashes on and off]].

* [[Flower in Her Hair]]: Very briefly in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E3 The Ticket Master|The Ticket Master]]", with grayish indigo eyes.

* [[Hero of Another Story]]: It hasn't escaped many fans' notice that she shows up almost everywhere Twilight goes even when Twilight's nowhere near Ponyville. Her very first appearance is in Canterlot with Twilight's classmates and she even shows up in Cloudsdale in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]", making her the only non-pegasus outside the main cast to appear in that episode (not counting the Earth Ponies-turned-Pegasi like Doctor Whooves X and Caramel). The one exception so far is "The Last Roundup" where she didn't appear in Dodge Junction but was back in Ponyville before Twilight and friends set off.

** In the Italian dub of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E1 Mare in The Moon|Friendship is Magic, part 1]]", she shouts out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6cRUVXVyfQ "Ciao!...oh?"] when she waves to Twilight in the first episode.

** In the Polish dub of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]", she says "Naprawde?" ("Really?") to a background filly ([[Fan Nickname|Tornado Bolt]]).

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: In "Over a Barrel", she ([[Depending Onon the Artist|as a red-eyed earth pony]]) wears a feminine bonnet (also seen briefly in "Luna Eclipsed") while Bon Bon wears a masculine top hat. However, in "Green Isn't Your Color", Bon Bon is the one that becomes a fangirl of a fashion model.

A purple unicorn with a tri-diamond cutie mark, she made her first appearance alongside Lyra Heartstrings in the pilot episode. She had a notable appearance as captain of the animal team in "Winter Wrap Up" but other than that fans didn't really notice her much until "Sisterhooves Social" which showed her as the sister of popular background unicorn filly [[Fan Nickname|Dinky]]. (This means several fans consider her Derpy Hooves' other daughter, usually adopted to explain their narrow age difference.) She even gets her own scene in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]" in which she has a picnic with background unicorn filly [[Fan Nickname|Tootsie Flute]] and Rainbow Dash attempts to help her open a peanut butter jar but ends up needing her assistance to open it. [[All There in the Manual|According to her collector card]], she "loves to dance!" Before Amethyst Star's official [[All There in Thethe Script]] name was revealed, she was given the [[Fan Nickname]] Sparkler (after the similar-looking G1 pony who was the basis for an [[What Could Have Been|early]] [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MdD8lH4Rf9o/TSl3Fwm50JI/AAAAAAAABM0/VqjIjM7VPa0/s1600/40366_140968312601707_128739440491261_258338_5630058_n.jpg design] of Rarity).

In "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", he gets a very noticeable scene in which he seems to be a time keeper for the apple competition of the Flim Flam Brothers and Apple family.

A blue, white-maned unicorn [[Depending Onon the Artist|with varying attributes]]: his eyes have been gold, amber, and blue; his cutie mark has been a safety pin and an hourglass; and his horn has been normal-sized and [[Non Standard Character Design|unusually long and sharp]]. His most memorable appearances have been in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" (where he happily pokes out a set of balloons Apple Bloom was hiding behind) and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]" (where he wears a red jacket that gives him a resemblance to [[Doctor Who|the Third Doctor]], which coupled with his hourglass cutie mark has led some to believe he too is a [[Time Lord]]).

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Named for his 3-second balloon popping scene in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]", which was the first time he had a visible cutie mark and [[Depending Onon the Artist|the first time he was shown with]] his [[Non Standard Character Design|unusually long and sharp horn]].

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: His safety pin cutie mark ([[Depending Onon the Artist|when he has it]]) together with his balloon-popping scene in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" imply that his special talent is popping balloons with an appendage the other unicorns use to do ''magic''. And he still seems happy about it.

=== [[All There in Thethe Script|Goldengrape]] ===

A yellow Earth pony with a blue mane and grapes cutie mark. He's mostly known for appearing several times with Daisy whenever she's not hanging out with the other flower ponies, sort of like a hetero version of Lyra & Bon Bon, though their relationship isn't entirely clear it's assumed they're a couple. While he doesn't have any speaking lines, he does growl at Twilight Sparkle during "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|Over a Barrel]]".

"[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]" reveals he's a neighbor of Rarity's and he helps pull the girls' carriage to Canterlot. One of the more amusing things about him is that his color scheme and (usually) cutie mark have been used for at least ''four'' different ponies which has lead to a lot of jokes and speculation.

A light blue stallion with dark gray hair, blue eyes, and ([[Depending Onon the Artist|usually]]) a cutie mark of three five-pointed stars. While his only appearance in the first season was as an Earth pony ("[[Fan Nickname|Bruce Mane]]"), the second season introduced at least two unicorn versions of him, one of whom ("[[Fan Nickname|Neon Lights]]") is a common background pony. In the fandom, "[[Fan Nickname|Bruce Mane]]" is best remembered for his vague resemblance to [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] and "[[Fan Nickname|Neon Lights]]" is best remembered for his "high society" Canterlot outfit that he wore in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]".

He makes a second appearance in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|"Sweet and Elite"]], which is also the first appearance of two unicorn versions of him: one with the same neat mane style as the original Earth pony version, and one with a spiky mane style matching every version's tail style. Both of these unicorns, in turn, make their second appearances in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|"Hearth's Warming Eve"]], and the spiky-maned one makes a third appearance in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|"The Last Roundup"]]. [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day|"Hearts and Hooves Day"]] is the first appearance of one of his two hornless spiky-maned versions with a dark blue coat and white cutie mark, these two versions being a Pegasus who appears in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E22 Hurricane Fluttershy|"Hurricane Fluttershy"]] and an Earth pony who appears in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|"A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2"]], which is also the fourth appearance of his neat-maned Earth pony version (following "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E25 A Canterlot Wedding Part 1|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1]]") and the third appearance of his neat-maned unicorn version. As for his [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]], "Orion" has been used for all versions (but mainly the ones with a white coat and dark blue cutie mark) and "Star Hunter" has been used for the versions with a dark blue coat and white cutie mark.

There are also children within the background pony crowd. Almost all of them are fillies; background colts weren't introduced until Season 2, and are nowhere near as common as background fillies. Generally, they (the fillies, at least) don't have set cutie marks--most of their appearances are as blank flanks, and when they do have marks (mostly in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]") they're often inconsistent. They usually appear in classrooms or any school related scenes, Cutie Mark Crusader episodes or any episode that focuses on one or two of its members. In any other scenes they are almost always seen being accompanied by an adult pony. They usually fulfill younger background roles along with being crowd fillers like their older counterparts.

** [[Fan Nickname|Chocolate Sun]] (one of the large Canterlot unicorn stallions from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|"The Best Night Ever"]] and [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|"Sweet and Elite"]]) is [http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assetsuitcase/characters/MLP_CharV_Stallion.swf included] in the ''[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/play/details.cfm?R=0F6B55AF-5056-900B-1013-CD724A8D4018:en_US Card Creator]'' game on Hasbro and [[The Hub]]'s websites.

** Sunny Daze and Peachy Pie, schoolmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Despite (at the time) only appearing for two scenes in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E18 The Show Stoppers|one episode]] and having no lines aside from small gasps, they each have a toy version of some sort ([[You Don't Look Like You|with radically different appearances]], but still): Sunny Daze has a So Soft [[Spinoff Babies|Newborn]] toy while Peachy Pie has a molded toy and a collector card. They ''are'' two of the few background ponies to have in-show names and share them with G3 ponies, so that might have helped.

** [[All There in Thethe Script|Sunny Rays]] is included in the ''Pony Wedding'' brushables (with art that's show-accurate in design if not in color) as well as the Wave 5 Blind Bags. Not bad for a pony who only appears at the beginning of [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E8 Look Before You Sleep|one episode]]!

** [[All There in Thethe Script|Twilight Sky]] is included as an Earth pony in the Wave 4 Blind Bags despite only appearing in three episodes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|"Green Isn't Your Color"]], [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|"Hearth's Warming Eve"]], and [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E22 Hurricane Fluttershy|"Hurricane Fluttershy"]]) and only being an Earth pony in some shots during the first of those episodes (in the rest of his appearances, he's a Pegasus).

** Lily Dache, a [[Palette Swap]] of Silver Spoon who appears once at Diamond Tiara's cuteceañera in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]".

** [[Fan Nickname|Madden]], the announcer pegasus from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]", resembles John Madden.

** [[Fan Nickname|Lucy]], the stage manager pegasus from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]" who later appears as a unicorn with a different cutie mark in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]", resembles Lucille Ball.

** [[Fan Nickname|Strawberry Cream]] is heavily implied to be with [[All There in Thethe Script|Golden Harvest]] in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day|Hearts and Hooves Day]]", though the shot before that shows her with Caramel instead (however, an even earlier shot shows Caramel with [[All There in Thethe Script|Sassaflash]]).

** Ace the Tennis Pony only appears briefly in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]" and "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|Luna Eclipsed]]".

* [[Rainbow Lite]]: [[Fan Nickname|Roy G. Bow]]/[[Fan Nickname|Spectrum]], a stallion who's usually a Pegasus, has a Type 2 as his cutie mark, its three colors being purple, orange, and yellow. A couple of other Pegasi have rainbow cutie marks of Type 2 too: the mare [[Fan Nickname|Q. T. Prism]] (blue/orange/yellow) from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E11 Winter Wrap Up|"Winter Wrap Up"]] and the stallion [[Fan Nickname|Prism Strider]] (purple/orange/yellow) from [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E22 Hurricane Fluttershy|"Hurricane Fluttershy"]].
