Shooting Star

Shooting Star is a male background Earth pony with a white coat, light blue mane, tail, and eyes, and a cutie mark of a dark blue Orion constellation. He is unnamed in the show, but he is named in merchandise.

Design
Shooting Star shares his tail style with "Sir Pony Moore", and as a unicorn, he sometimes also has the same mane style and pony kind as Neon Lights, Dark Moon, "Flank Sinatra", S02E26 Unnamed Unicorn Stallion #1, and S02E26 Unnamed Unicorn Stallion #2, and the same mane and tail style as Star Hunter, Twilight Sky, and "Cosmic".

Depiction in the series
Shooting Star most commonly appears among other high-society Canterlot ponies. She first appears in The Best Night Ever as a guest at the Grand Galloping Gala. He is one of several chorus singers in At the Gala, and during the scene in which he shakes Twilight Sparkle's hoof forcefully and struts off to the ballroom, he appears larger than usual.

In Sweet and Elite, Shooting Star appears several times during Becoming Popular (The Pony Everypony Should Know) and at the Canterlot Garden Party. A unicorn version of him takes part in the pageant in Hearth's Warming Eve. He walks through Canterlot alongside Fine Line in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, and he attends both wedding ceremonies as well as the reception in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2.

Shooting Star appears during The Failure Song in The Crystal Empire - Part 1, watches the Summer Harvest Parade in One Bad Apple (as a unicorn), and appears at Twilight Sparkle's princess coronation in Magical Mystery Cure.

In Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1, Shooting Star appears in the crowd panicking to Twilight when Princess Celestia and Princess Luna disappear. He appears in Maretropolis in Power Ponies, at Fashion Week in Rarity Takes Manehattan, at the Ponyville Days festival at the end of Simple Ways, at the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange in Trade Ya! (as a unicorn), and in the stadium crowd in Equestria Games. He is seen at the Crystal Empire in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1, and his unicorn version has his magic stolen by Lord Tirek at the end of the episode.
