A purple unicorn with blonde hair, little Dinky made her debut in "Winter Wrap Up" cheerfully hopping along during the song. She appears again in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E12CallOfTheCutie Call of the Cutie]]" as one of Apple Bloom's classmates who attended the party. Some speculation and a short fanfic later she was dubbed the daughter of Derpy Hooves due to their similar color schemes and since then she's become almost as popular as the Cutie Mark Crusaders. While she and Derpy have never been seen together, she's shown to be the sister of unicorn [[AllThereInTheScript Amethyst Star]] in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E5SisterhoovesSocial Sisterhooves Social]]". Called Fire Chief, after the costume it depicts her wearing, in Creator/{{Gameloft}}[='s=] ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' LicensedGame, but {{Fan Nickname}}d Dinky[[note]]Doo or Hooves depending on your flavor of Derpy[[/note]].

* CrossDressingVoices: In "Rainbow Falls".

Their boss is not amused.]][[/note]]

* OfficialCouple: Heavily implied to be with [[FanNickname Strawberry Cream]] in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay Hearts and Hooves Day]]", though the shot before that shows her with Caramel instead (however, an even earlier shot shows Caramel with [[AllThereInTheScript Sassaflash]]). She's also seen numerous times with [[FanNickname Written Script]].

->''"I don't know about you, but it takes more than a cup of orange juice to get ME going in the morning."''

Also known as the Overly Protective Parent Pony. An earth pony[[note]]she also appears as a pegasus in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E11WinterWrapUp Winter Wrap Up]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E13FallWeatherFriends Fall Weather Friends]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E14SuitedForSuccess Suited for Success]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]", and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed A Friend in Deed]]"[[/note]] famous for her scene in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E12CallOfTheCutie Call of the Cutie]]" as the pony who drank directly from the punch bowl and for whisking a unicorn filly (who is presumed to be her daughter named "[[FanNickname Ruby Pinch]]") into her house as Zecora wanders around Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E9BridleGossip Bridle Gossip]]". She's a popular pick for gag scenes and {{Funny Background Event}}s for the show's crew... especially storyboard artist [[http://sibsy.deviantart.com/ Sabrina "Sibsy" Alberghetti]], who's responsible for her "Call of the Cutie" scene. [[AllThereInTheManual According to her collector card]], she "loves berries more than any pony!" Before the show aired, and thus years before Hasbro's blind bag waves 3 & 9 and Enterplay's [[TheMerch trading card]] series 2 respectively gave Berryshine/Berry Punch her AllThereInTheScript names (the latter being an AscendedFanon FanNickname), Creator/LaurenFaust [[https://plus.google.com/113922044515289869706/posts/eZNpGGr8zKr called]] [[https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/329798721002954753 her]] Pinot Noir.

An analysis on Berry is available on [[Analysis/FriendshipIsMagicBackgroundPonies the analysis page]].

%% * AdaptationNameChange
* TheAlcoholic: While there's no evidence that she is one, this was the basis of one of the show's jokes.
** The Hub's browser game "Racing is Magic" included a bonus minigame where the player must guide an inebriated Berryshine back to her house, trying to not make her crash during the trip. So yeah...
** The [=TCG=] removes all ambiguity: Berry's own card has the quote "And one more for the road!" and she provides the quote for the Apple Cider card, calling it "liquid courage".
** [[AllThereInTheManual Taken straight from her]] [[TheMerch Enterplay card:]] "She sells a wide variety of drinks made from berries and other fruits, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything and thanks to her love for her own recipes, Berry frequently slurps down all the profit."]] It also marks her likes as "Cider! Cider! Cider! Cider!"
** In "Slice of Life" , she is seen near the end holding on tight to a barrel labeled with a variety of fruit, as if it were her best friend, smiling like a maniac as Vinyl's mobile DJ station flies through town.
** "On Your Marks" shows her stomping grapes, the first step in the process of making wine. [[note]]Okay, yes, technically it's just grape juice, but all grape juice that isn't drunk immediately after juicing will inevitably become wine (the winemaking process is more about enhancing the quality of the final product) unless it undergoes pasteurization, and there's no indication that the ponies do that. Also grape stomping is generally associated more with wine anyway.[[/note]]
* AllThereInTheManual: Loves berries more than any pony, apparently sells drinks, is overly protective of her loved ones, is very close friends with [[AllThereInTheScript Minuette]], and is also associated with DJ Pon-3.
* TheBartender: She might be one for [[DrunkOnMilk juice,]] [[AllThereInTheManual going by her card.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: She's either waving to Rainbow Dash & Fluttershy [[FunnyBackgroundEvent during the jousting scene]], or us.
* ButtMonkey: As of season 2, she seems to be on the receiving end of a lot of bad luck; Discord spends a ton of time sprinkling pepper on her in "The Return of Harmony, Part 2", she loses out on cider season in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]" and Apple Bloom ends up getting a lovestruck ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]) Big Macintosh to ''drag her house around'' in "Hearts and Hooves Day".
* CoolBigSis: She enters the Sisterhooves Social with [[FanNickname Piña Colada]], the pink earth pony that dressed as a ladybug in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed Luna Eclipsed]]". [[spoiler:They win the big race.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple eyes, purple hair.
* DependingOnTheArtist: There's a stallion with her color scheme appeared as a BandageMummy at Ponyville Hospital during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep Read It and Weep]]".
%%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* {{Motifs}}: Her character design is based on grapes.
* NoodleIncident: [[FunnyBackgroundEvent How'd she make it to the Crystal Empire, during the end of the jousting match, exactly?]]
* ProductionNickname:[[invoked]] Pinot Noir, by Lauren Faust, because it was her "drink of choice while working on MLP".
* SneezeOfDoom: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 The Return of Harmony, Part 2]]", Discord sprinkles her with pepper, making her sneeze, which causes every tree and house around her to topple.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[AllThereInTheManual Berries, which she loves more than any pony.]]
* WeirdnessMagnet: See above, as well as what happens to her house in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay Hearts and Hooves Day]]". No wonder she drinks.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Her first blind bag figurine is a unicorn using Rarity's mold, and has green eyes instead of cerise.

!![[FanNickname Candy Mane]]

A tan earth pony with a pink mane and pink eyes and a Sisterhooves Social cutie mark, sometimes.

Yet another Dinky PaletteSwap in the form of a teal unicorn filly with a purple mane. She's the only background pony who's been present in Cheerilee's classroom every time that we've seen it, and always has a flower cutie mark on these occasions. Notable scenes include calling Rainbow Dash lame in "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" and finding out her crush likes somepony else in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay Hearts and Hooves Day]]". Nicknamed Tootsie Flute prior to receiving a canonical name in the CollectibleCardGame.

->'''Voiced by:''' Kazumi Evans (in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]")

A rose-themed earth pony. In the toyline, she "loves to pick pretty flowers and wear them in her hair!". She is most notable as one of the flower trio. She appears as an unicorn in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E7NewbieDash Newbie Dash]]" and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E12AmendingFences Amending Fences]]".

----
* AdaptationNameChange: The show and the Blind Bags have continued to exclusively refer to her as Rose and Roseluck, respectively. Presumably, either Rose is short for Roseluck or Roseluck is an InSeriesNickname for Rose; neither explanation is official, though.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her [[http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/File:BBRoseluckBack.jpg collector]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OifZkn4OiqI/UHTPrF1gMAI/AAAAAAAA770/ipkLS5rZKpM/s1600/08+(Roseluck)+%5BRose%5D.jpg cards]] reveal that she "loves to pick pretty flowers and wear them in her hair!"
* {{Expy}}: Rose looks similar to a G3 pony who was named Desert Rose.
* FandomNod:[[invoked]] Rose has been spotted several times standing next to [[Series/DoctorWho Dr. Hooves]].
* WingedUnicorn: In "Newbie Dash", an animation mix-up gives her both a horn and a pair of wings for a brief shot, turning her into one of the show's occasional accidental "background alicorns".

* {{Jerkass}}: A little in "Hearth's Warming Eve", and a lot in "Putting Your Hoof Down".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite the above, [[AllThereInTheManual her collector cards maintain]] that she's understanding.

* OffModel: In "Newbie Dash", she makes several appearances with the addition of a horn to her usual model. This is nothing unusual for background ponies, but what is unusual is that in one shot she briefly appears in the audience watching the Wonderbolts show with wings added on and her horn still present, turning her into an alicorn.

* OffModel: At one point in "Over a Barrel", his head is shaped like a mare's.

* OffModel: One of the most infamous examples in the whole show. In "The Best Night Ever", his front-facing and back-facing Flash models are briefly fused by mistake, creating a grotesque {{Cyclops}}.

* OffModel: In "Rarity Takes Manhattan", he's briefly included in one scene as a background pegasus flying past some buildings, but the animators accidentally left in his horn after adding wings, creating the show's first accidental background alicorn.

* OffModel: She appears as a unicorn in "A Canterlot Wedding" and as an earth pony in "Simple Ways".

* OffModel: She appears as one of the unicorn students during Twilight's Magic Kindergarten ImagineSpot, but the animators accidentally left in her wings.

* OffModel: She appears as an earth pony for one shot in Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's {{flashback}}s during "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" -- while standing on a cloud, notably enough -- and as a pegasus while placing a floral wreath around Luna's neck in the pilot.
