Berryshine

Berry Punch is the placeholder name of an Earth pony who appears in many episodes as a background pony. She has a plum colored coat and a mulberry mane. Her cutie mark consists of a bunch of grapes and a strawberry.

Depiction in the series
The pony is used in many instances as a background pony, and, alongside with Cherry Berry, Golden Harvest and Bon Bon, she watches Twilight Sparkle at her first arrival in Ponyville. Her first prominent appearance is when she whisks a little filly from her doorstep in Bridle Gossip for fear of Zecora, who's come into Ponyville; the little filly's design and color scheme is used in Sisterhooves Social for the filly competing alongside Berry, but she lacks a unicorn horn. Berry appears on both plant team and the animal team in Winter Wrap Up, even at the same time, and her color scheme, character design, and cutie mark are used for a Pegasus pony in Fall Weather Friends. She inspects some apples in Call of the Cutie, but gets scared off when Apple Bloom forces her to buy them; later in the episode, she drinks directly out of a punch bowl in Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera after checking if anyone's looking. Berry, along with Bon Bon, are two of Fluttershy's fans in Green Isn't Your Color who hound her to Rarity's Carousel Boutique, but both are disappointed at not finding her there. She's seen again in The Return of Harmony Part 2 where she sneezes from a pepper shaker, one of Discord's tricks.

She is dressed in a safari outfit in Luna Eclipsed, and much like the rest of the village she is quite frightened of Princess Luna, but by the end of the episode she and the rest of Ponyville get to know her better.

Sisterhooves Social
Berry and "Apple Core" take part in the Sisterhooves Social: they lose the first pie-eating contest, but win the main event. At the race they wear matching white shirts, and they appear briefly in the egg-carrying challenge, dropping their eggs while Rarity and Sweetie Belle pass them by. They take the lead in the final stretch of running course, and win the Sisterhooves Social.

Despite taking part in the competition, Berry's character design and color scheme is also used for some of the ponies spectating.
