Night Glider

Night Glider is a female Pegasus pony who appears in the season five premiere of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is a resident of an unnamed village, led by Starlight Glimmer, in which its inhabitants have all given up their cutie marks. In the episodes in which she appears, Night Glider is never referred to by name, being named only in the credits.

Development
Night Glider shares her name, coat color, and mane color with a G1 Earth pony.

Depiction in the series
Night Glider first appears in The Cutie Map - Part 1 welcoming Fluttershy and her friends to the village, and she also flies over the village at the end of In Our Town. Later in the episode, she, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor express enthusiasm toward the Mane Six and their connections to Princess Celestia, not having completely conformed to Starlight Glimmer's ideology. She informs the six about the "Staff of Sameness" that Starlight uses to remove others' cutie marks and the vault in which their marks are kept.

In The Cutie Map - Part 2, when Fluttershy appears to convert to the town's ways, Starlight Glimmer asks her to identify the ponies who told the Mane Six about the vault. Party Favor takes the blame for Night Glider and Sugar Belle, protecting them from punishment.

Later, Fluttershy exposes Starlight Glimmer to the villagers, who learn that Starlight still has her original cutie mark and that the "Staff of Sameness" is an ordinary piece of wood used to hide her own magic. Night Glider reclaims her cutie mark alongside the other betrayed villagers, and joins Sugar Belle, Party Favor, and Double Diamond in pursuing the retreating Starlight through the mountains to recover the Mane Six's cutie marks. After Starlight escapes, Night Glider decides to stay in the village with her friends as it has become their home.
