In Equestria Girls, Derpy makes some sporadic appearances, including at the end credits when she holds a muffin. In Rainbow Rocks, she plays the musical saw with her friends as a competitor in the high school Battle of the Bands. Additionally, her hairstyle in the latter film was changed to be more closer to her pony counterpart.

Featherweight is a Pegasus Pony foal, first seen in the episode Ponyville Confidential where he is revealed to have newly earned his cutie mark. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are upset with this, wondering how he could get his cutie mark before they did. He later shows up in the meeting for the school's newspaper staff. He dashes out of the meeting to "document everything" as a photographer, after Diamond Tiara, who is the new Editor-in-chief for the school newspaper, orders him to do so. Later on, he helps Sweetie Belle and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders by taking a photo of Snips and Snails who managed to entangle themselves in gum and stick themselves to one another, which is later used in the school newspaper. When "Gabby Gums", that is, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, say they are going to quit their job with the school newspaper, Diamond Tiara shows them embarrassing pictures of themselves, taken by Featherweight in his efforts to "document everything." Featherweight becomes the Editor-in-chief of the Foal Free Press, the school newspaper, after Diamond Tiara has her position revoked by Cheerilee.

In Friendship is Magic, his pony version appeared in episode 11 of the fourth season, traveling with Princess Cadance. He also appears in the beginning of episode 25 of the same season, introducing the Duke and Duchess of Mareitonia at the Crystal Empire.

She later appears as the leader of a stunt team named The Washouts, composed of unsuccessful Wonderbolt candidates like herself.

In My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, she opens a salon in Maretime Bay named Mane Melody.

Luna's Pegasus guards first appeared in the season 2 episode "Luna Eclipsed", chauffeuring her flying carriage to Ponyville. They have a dark gray coat, black tails, tufts of hair on the tips of their ears, bat-like wings, and cat-like slit pupils. Their armor is purple, and it has a webbed crest over the helm. They resemble Celestia's guards, except have a much darker look about them.

Her interests include athletics and science. In My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, she shows skills at being a detective.

Fleur Dis Lee's human counterpart appears in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games as a student of Crystal Prep.

Her hobby is making different things out of regular objects, which she dubs Unicorn Upcycling, or "Unicycling". She can sense a pony's "sparkle", or "luminescence", which can come in many different colors.

Her name is not mentioned on-screen, until it first appeared in the accompanying pamphlet of a surprise bag toy released in early November 2011.

Moondancer was first mentioned in the first episode of Friendship is Magic, where she is said to be holding a party that Twilight was asked to come to, but Twilight refused. In Season 5 she makes her debut, where she has a messy tied up mane and wears a pair of aged eyeglasses and a dark purple turtleneck sweater with pink buttons on the front. Moondancer was affectedvery negatively by Twilight's prior refusal, and she became a recluse who only visits the library and does nothing else, proving to be a glimpse of what Twilight would have become has she not met the rest of the Mane 6. Learning that Moondancer was hurt by Twilight after trying to open herself up to her, Twilight eventually fixes her mistake.

My Little Pony: The Movie

Zahari Baharov (My Little Pony: The Movie)

A pony with a similar name (Amethyst Star) appears as a background character in Friendship is Magic.

In later seasons, after getting her cutie mark back, Big Mac develops an infatuation with her, which is eventually given back, and the two of them marry toward the end of the series.

In the film Equestria Girls, Trixie is seen getting peanut butter crackers from the school's vending machine and makes several background cameos. She appears as the secondary antagonist and is the leader of her own band, the Illusions, in "Rainbow Rocks". She like most of the school becomes overly competitive while under the Dazzlings spell when the showcase is turned into a competition. Her band makes it to the semi-finals and becomes angered when she loses to the Rainbooms despite the ladder not finishing their song. She is convinced by the Dazzlings to stop the Rainbooms from performing by trapping them under the stage. With the Rainbooms apparently forfeiting Trixie's band plays in the finals instead. Her band is disqualified when the Rainbooms reappear and defeat the Dazzlings. Despite being freed from the spell, Trixie still swears revenge for her defeat, while interrupting Twilight and Flash's romantic moment, and exits the stage after throwing a smoke bomb, falling off the stands during her getaway.

In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, she appears in Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's flashbacks of flight camp, standing on a cloud in the sidelines before the race starts, even though she is not a pegasus. However, as proved in Sonic Rainboom, there is a spell that enables non-pegasus ponies to walk on clouds, making the circumstances around Twinkleshine's station in Cutie Mark Chronicles much more plausible. In A Canterlot Wedding Part 1 and Part 2, she is one of Queen Chrysalis's first bridesmaids, along with Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings.

Her design in the animation resembles the G1 pony Moondancer. However, her playful pony release gave her a different look, making her resemble the G2 pony Princess Twinkle Star. Twinkleshine's description in the toys says she wants to be a Movie Star.

The Princess' name was inspired by that of the daughter of a Hasbro Studios executive, "Cadince". "Cadence" is also a musical term meaning modulation, inflection rhythm, or the closing sequence of a musical phrase.

Unlike other unicorn ponies, Twilight can perform a wide variety of magic, including teleportation, force fields, and telekinesis. She represents the Element of Magic, which takes the form of a tiara. She has an older brother named Shining Armor, the captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, who marries her former babysitter Princess Cadance. In "Owl's Well That Ends Well", she gained a pet horned owl named Owlowiscious.^[6]

In "Magical Mystery Cure", Twilight accidentally activates an unfinished spell created by historic figure Star Swirl the Bearded, causing her friends' Cutie Marks to be swapped and altering their destiny. After correcting her mistake, Twilight is able to complete the spell, creating new magic in the process. Fulfilling her destiny predicted by Princess Celestia, Twilight is then transformed into a winged unicorn, referred to as an "alicorn" in the series, and ascends to become a Princess of Equestria alongside Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance.^[7] Another part of magic she does is to freeze moving subjects like she does to Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash in the episode called Castlemane-ia. In "Twilight's Kingdom", she is now the Princess of Friendship with her responsibility to help spread friendship across Equestria with the help of her friends.
