Who's your favorite "super background pony"?

[Silly Druid 7,391]

I've just seen the Ponies Online panel about "super background ponies", which means background ponies that are not widely widely known or recognized by the fandom. So ponies like Derpy or Lyra are not allowed here.

So who's your favorite among the less known ones? Mine is Cotton Sky, because, to quote Sweetie Belle, I really like her mane.

the CCG plays a big role here. there;s loads from that.  

but they are more for in-game reasons.

for fandom/pony resonance, I have to go with Pacific Glow...

because I had lost all touch with the fandom

and then I found a naughty RP site and reconnected

and Pacific Glow was my sig on that site. And a song :3 always a song:

 

Pretty sirens don't go flat
It's not supposed to happen like that

@abronymouse Yeah, it was mentioned at the panel that we know the names of some of these ponies only because they appeared in the CCG.

My favorite background pony is Strawberry Scoop – so cute, and who doesn't like ice cream?

I think she definitely counts here – while she has some fan art, there's very little compared to the popular ones, she wasn't named officially (even Gameloft just calls her "Fancy Friendship Student"), never had a speaking role... She deserved a lot better.

My second favorite is another friendship student, Fuchsia Frost. Yeah, food cutie marks for the win!

@Night Sky That's not really what I meant for this thread, I meant we should talk about the least known or appreciated characters, "background ponies among background ponies", so to speak.

Another example of one I like is a very strong filly, known as "Lily Longsocks" (I'm not sure if this name is canon).

I don't know if she really counts as a background pony because she does sometimes have minor speaking roles, but I'm going to post about her anyway....

This Manehattanite pony Blueberry Curls who appears in various Manehattan-based episodes.

She's my favourite for no other reason than I like her voice in Made in Manehattan...I was disappointed when she spoke with a different voice later in Fake It 'Til You Make It.

DERPY! JUST KIDDING AHAHAHAHAHA ITS GOTTA BE COTTON CLOUDY!!!!!!!!!!! LOOKIT DAT FACEEEEEEEEE

 

[Starry skies 23 24]

Mine is Amethyst Star

[Snow 8,033]

Maybe she isn’t background enough to fall under this category but I do love Drizzle

 

Such simple little additions the flower and little dress make her really stand out.

Does she count???  ~☆

 I guess everyone on here knows mine, but I will use any excuses to post a Picture of the best and least appreciated background pony Flitter herself!

Most of my favorite BG ponies are the not so well known (I even made the experience that people think that they are OCs when I made vectors of them or used them in my avatar/signature). My favorites are the Canterlot Boutique Unicorn Girls. It is Hard for me to pic one or two of them as my favorite, but I say that these two (Cayenne and Citrus Blush) are on the top since they were the two who first got my attention.

Strawberry Scoop because strawberry ice cream is my favourite ice cream flavour.
