History WMG / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicDerpyHooves

They're both [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble]] [[JustForPun Darkponies]] with a derpy face, so why not?

[[WMG: Altered Derpy Hooves is a time traveling changling]]

* I always KNEW that pony was creepy! I knew it! I had a feeling! I must inform everyone of this! Quick! [[ToTheBatNoun To the Fanfic Archives!]]

If you watch "The Cutie-Mark Chronicles", you'll see Derpy on the lower left during Twilight Sparkle's flashback as Celestia is just about to raise the sun in Canterlot. She even has her characteristic derpy eyes. This means that despite appearances, Derpy is older than Twilight by quite a bit. However she hasn't aged a day between back then and now. This is because in actuality, Derpy Hooves is the depowered form of Celestia and Luna's mother, who gave up her powers and responsibilities as the one true god-ruler of Equestria thousands of years ago to her two favorite daughters as a gift when they earned their Cutie Marks. She's still alive because even after sacrificing her horn and all its magic, her body's still immortal. She was in
Canterlot that day to watch Celestia raise the sun, something she does every year. This is also why Derpy was in Ponyville when Nightmare Moon returned.

Derpy's wall-eyed expression is because, even when she was the god-empress of equestria, she was known as being something of a DitzyGenius / CloudCuckooLander, when she gave up her magic and became a normal pegasus pony, the loss of all that magical grace made what once looked like a mildly ditzy expression into classic Derpy Hooves. Also Dinky is simply her first and only daughter since she gave up most of her magic, and Dinky is a unicorn because of the trace amounts of magic Derpy still has dormant inside her.

[[WMG: "Derpy" is so embarrased by her real name, she calls herself Derpy Hooves because she feels that it's less humiliating.]]

** Of course not! Or at least, Rainbow WOULDN'T have, but Derpy forfited mere seconds before the winner was announced.

A normal day while cleaning your attic, your collection of memories or what-you-get, you stumble in an photograph of a very private party last year. Almost burnt to a crisp by an accident (odd) there is only a small spot still distinguishable. It takes you a moment to realize it's Derpy Doo, a small acquaintance of one of your friends...probably. A normal pony at first sight, except you can't help feeling that [[UncannyValley there is something not quite right about her]]. Curious about it (it has been a slow week), you try to investigate about her but all your inquiries come to an abrupt stop. Apparently all everypony knows of her is her name and that she works is a Mail pony. Baffled at this (why she was invited to the party when nopony knows squat about her?), you take time to review the photographs of parties and small reunions of not only you but of your friends and family, the small [[color:green: P]]ressure in the back of your head about this mystery becoming an irritation. Soon you realize (for the first time) that she is always present, in many occasions where she shouldn't, ''couldn't'' be there. In fact [[FridgeHorror you don't remember how you meet her]] or [[ParanoiaFuel inviting her to any reunion]] but she is always present, either floating or simply standing in the room, never interacting with other ponies as if she weren't there. While the small [[color:red: P]]ressure in the back of your head become worse with each passing day, the desire to know who (or...what) Derpy Doo is transforms from a small pique of curiosity to an obsession. A pattern appears, a tragedy or injury befall a pony (in this lasts months, the six chosen) and she is always in the background, not quite watching like a emphasized shadow. Now the [[color:grey: P]]ressure so maddening, you decided to tackle the problem head on but nopony knows where she lives (no surprising at this point) and her boss is as unhelpful as possible. You decide then to wait her in her morning route but no matter how early you wake up or even if you don't sleep, never see her enter or leave the Post Office and your letters keep appearing in your box, even when in desperation you remove it and throw it in the floor, letters are sticking out as if mocking you. You snap. You try to forget but the [[color:green: P]]ressure gets worse and worse so you leave Ponyville to some city who-know-where. You are a mess, can't remember when was the last time you ate or bathed or sleep more than half and hour and there is papers and papers around the house, most of them insane rambling and the [[color:purple: P]]ressure is like a shiv to your brain. In your table you [[color:purple: F]]ound an old portrait. Its from the time of the foundation of Ponyville but your eyes are instantly glued to the small, almost invisible figure in the shadows, down in the woods. It is almost indistinguishible, void like shape except for its [[color:gold: eyes]], looking straight at you, ''looking straight at you'' and you realize why that feeling in the back of your neck is so familiar and that she [[spoiler: [[UnstoppableMailman has found you... and you put the wrong stamps in the last package]]]].

Meaning she was born on national Bluberry Month

When you stop and think about it, [[EmbarrassingFirstName there's no real reason that a pony]] would willingly allow herself to be called by a rather nasty little name unless the alternative is so much worse, something that implies that she's stupid when she's not is seen as a step up; this means that, much like a human named [[Franchise/ArchieComics Forsythe P. Jones]] calls himself a word that used to mean "imbecile" before it came to mean "tall, skinny kid who eats burgers", the pony we call "Derpy" not only lives in constant fear that somepony out there will discover her real name, she's hoping that what used to mean "wall-eyed dolt" will come to mean "grey Pegasus pony who eats muffins."

Sure, they may be nice on-screen, but off-screen, they treat her badly. Kind of in the same way that the Sugar Rush Racers from Disney/WreckItRalph treated Vanellope. Why? because she's a glitch who isn't supposed to exist. Why would I think this? Taffyta Muttonfudge and Twilight Sparkle's voices are eerily similar...

* Her voice seems to have the same sort of inflection quirks that pop up when one can't reference their own or other voices, and maybe whatever made her deaf threw off her equilibrium. The eye, [[CaptainObvious is her eye,]] not much more to that.
