Lauren Faust

Lauren Faust is the developer of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is credited as the executive producer for the first season, and consulting producer for the second. During the first season, she used her deviantArt page to reply to fans and address questions about the show. She later added a Frequently Asked Questions entry that collected these questions and answers.

Shortly after the final episode of the first season, Faust announced that she had left the show. Her involvement in season 2 concentrated on story conception and scripts, and it diminished through the course of the season. She has stated that season 3 is free of her input.

Faust's professional credits extend from voice work in 1994 through art and writing and, by 2004, directing and development of shows such as The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. She is married to the creator of both shows, Craig McCracken.

She is listed in the opening and closing credits of every episode, and in the writing credits for Friendship is Magic, part 1 and part 2. Hasbro Studios' website lists her as the show's author, with her name misspelled as "Laurent Faust".
