Favourite Supporting/Background MLP Character

[RaraLover 10,410]

Consider characters that only appeared in the show once or twice, such as Coloratura (my personal favourite), Pear Butter, Bright Mac, Pharynx, Cheese Sandwich, Autumn Blaze, etc.

Keep in mind that your favourite minor supporting/background MLP character doesn't have to be your all-time favourite MLP character.

It doesn't matter if the character in question has a speaking role or not.

Let's think beyond the Mane Six and their common friends!

 

EDIT: Changed from 'minor character' to 'supporting/background character'.

Just so you aware, I have given this thread an alternate title to give it more proper context

If you ask me then I would have to go with Pacific Glow.

She's such an amazing, cheerful and on the top cute girl. 

 

[Octavia Heartstrings 28,414]

Mine would definitely be Autumn Blaze! She's just so funny and adorable! 

[DonMaguz 1,023]

Pear Butter without any doubts.

My runner-up is Coloratura.

Some other characters worth mentioning (in order of appearance):

• Little Strongheart.
• Lightning Dust.
• Coco Pommel.
• Cheese Sandwich.
• Moondancer.
• Saffron Masala.
• Quibble Pants.
• Windy Whistles.
• Bow Hothoof.
• Bright Mac.
• Pharynx.
• Stellar Flare. *as a supporting character because she appeared as background character in S5 and S6.
• Autumn Blaze.

Applejack, Vinyl Scratch, and Derpy are all good minor characters. Would be nice to have more of them though.

Pacific Glow.

That is a great name.

Personally, I'm all about the sphinx. Such a waste that she didn't get a voice actor.

Who? Pacific Glow? Yeah, true. But even without a voice actor she made a well-known place for her in the fandom. 

[Hardway Bet 96]

I meant that Pacific Glow is a good name for the rave pony, and that it's a shame that the Sphinx never got a voice actor.

Is a minor character a background pony or a pony that was seen once in a episode that had a speaking role?

I'd say characters that only have a few appearances on the show, regardless if they had a speaking role or not.

I just called them "minor characters". Not sure if there is a better name to describe them.

Applejack is one of the Mane 6, not a minor character. Yeah, I'll go with Derpy. I also like Zecora. Trixie probably doesn't count as a minor character anymore

Does Derpy and Minuette count? Autumn Blaze or Cheese Snadwhich

They surely aren't major characters...

My favorite minor character is one of Twilight Sparkle's friends from Canterlot, Minuette.

A three-way tie between Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack's parents for different reasons.

1. Night Light and Twilight Velvet are just fun to watch and seem like nice and exciting people.

2. Windy Whistles and Bow Hothoof, as eccentric as they were, came off as supportive, kind, and loving parents. Definitely the most well-rounded parents.

3. Pear Butter and Bright Mac are also extremely well-rounded, but the fact that we never saw them interact with their children was a missed opportunity. 

[Lord Midnight Madness 1,542]

My favorite would have to be Spitfire and Lightning dust. I also would also have to put Lyra and Vinyl Scratch on that list as well.

[Megas 27,068]

Lightning Dust is definitely at the top

I also love Moondancer, Coco Pommel, Thunderlane, Autumn Blaze, Cheese Sandwich, Coloratura and Quibble Pants

I think it's better to call them 'supporting/background' characters, instead of 'minor' characters.

Edited the topic to suit the changes.
