Matilda

Matilda is a brown donkey with a curly brown mane who first appears in the episode A Friend in Deed.

Depiction in the series
Matilda is first seen walking through Ponyville, as Pinkie Pie wishes her a "happy birthday" 132 days in advance. Matilda is pleasantly surprised that Pinkie would know the birthdays of herself and everyone in Ponyville so well, and Pinkie just smiles and walks on.

Pinkie later brings Matilda to Cranky Doodle Donkey's home, having deduced that she was the "special friend" Cranky had earlier spoken of.

Through flashbacks, we learn that Matilda and Cranky had met and fallen in love at the Grand Galloping Gala many years ago. The morning after the Gala, Matilda left to move to Ponyville, leaving a note for Cranky explaining her move. Cranky never found the note, though Matilda says she always hoped he'd one day find her.

In the present, Matilda kisses Cranky (Whom she calls "Doodle", which prompts Cranky to tell Pinkie Matilda's the only one allowed to) as they have a long-awaited reunion, and thank Pinkie for bringing them back together. They then enter Cranky's house, almost kissing again until Pinkie interrupts with a song, causing them to reprimand her.
