RaraLover 10,425 November 22, 2018 Share November 22, 2018 (edited) 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'. Edited January 6, 2019 by ILoveRara 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna's Admirer 945 November 22, 2018 Share November 22, 2018 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Returning 28,615 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 Mine would definitely be Autumn Blaze! She's just so funny and adorable! 2 Signature by @Mellow Mane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMaguz 1,023 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Doctor 664 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 Applejack, Vinyl Scratch, and Derpy are all good minor characters. Would be nice to have more of them though. 2 "I love deadlines.

Who? Pacific Glow? Yeah, true. But even without a voice actor she made a well-known place for her in the fandom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardway Bet 96 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Solace 5,134 December 2, 2018 Share December 2, 2018 Is a minor character a background pony or a pony that was seen once in a episode that had a speaking role? 2 ~Twilight x Midnight~ Ask Midnight I'm not a bad pony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited December 2, 2018 by ILoveRara 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trixie probably doesn't count as a minor character anymore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparklefan1234 180,749 January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 (edited) My favorite minor character is one of Twilight Sparkle's friends from Canterlot, Minuette. Edited January 5, 2019 by Sparklefan1234 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnimationFanatic 3,606 January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 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. 3 "Work Hard!

Lord Midnight Madness 1,544 January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 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. 2 By @Fangirl Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 28,129 January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 (edited) Lightning Dust is definitely at the top I also love Moondancer, Coco Pommel, Thunderlane, Autumn Blaze, Cheese Sandwich, Coloratura and Quibble Pants Edited January 5, 2019 by This Whomps 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
