Moon Dancer

Moon Dancer, or Moondancer, is a female unicorn pony who appears in the episode Amending Fences and the IDW comics. She has a light gray coat, red mane and tail with purple highlights, purple eyes, and a cutie mark of a crescent moon and three stars. Her name is spelled "Moon Dancer" in Amending Fences' closed captioning and with a trademark symbol in merchandise and "Moondancer" in Friendship is Magic, part 1's closed captioning, Amending Fences' ending credits, and in the comics.

Design
Moon Dancer was designed by Kora Kosicka. She shares her mane and tail style with Twilight Sparkle.

Moon Dancer shares her name with a G1 unicorn and a G3 Earth pony, and her design is based on the G1 unicorn.

Depiction in the series
Moon Dancer is first mentioned in Friendship is Magic, part 1 by Twinkleshine and Spike. Twinkleshine says to Twilight Sparkle that "Moon Dancer is having a little get-together at the west castle courtyard," but Twilight declines the invitation to focus on her studies. Spike later accidentally ruins a gift for her after being knocked aside by Twilight.

She makes her first in-show appearance in Amending Fences. Moon Dancer is revealed to be living alone in a dilapidated cottage and is a recluse, only focusing on her studies and nothing else. She comes off as being entirely antisocial and bitter as a result. Looking at her now reminds Twilight of how she formerly was herself, and how she could have wound up had she not moved to Ponyville.

Depiction in the comics
In the My Little Pony Annual 2013 story "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer," Moon Dancer appears on page 2 as a student at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. When Sunset Shimmer insensitively snubs her and several other unicorns, Moon Dancer remarks that Sunset "wasn't very nice."

She also appears in a yearbook photo on cover A, with her name spelled as "Moondancer."

Merchandise
A mini-figure of Moon Dancer is to be released by Playskool in 2015 as part of its Playskool Friends My Little Pony line of toys.
