Mayor Mare

The Mayor of Ponyville is a tan Earth pony with a gray mane who first appears in Friendship is Magic, part 1. The following episode, she commands Princess Celestia's Pegasus guards to seize Night Mare Moon. She gives several speeches: welcoming Princess Celestia in the Summer Sun Celebration, honoring Applejack in Applebuck Season, and rousing up spirits in Winter Wrap Up. She becomes stressed when things do not go according to schedule in the latter episode, and needs Twilight's help in organizing the ponies' activities. Applejack addresses her as "Miss Mayor" in Applebuck Season.

In Lesson Zero she is one of the ponies who come under the effects of Twilight Sparkle's spell on Smarty Pants, and snatches the doll from Big Macintosh, causing all the ponies to chase her. When Princess Celestia removes the spell from everyone, she ends up fighting with Derpy Hooves and, being embarrassed by her previous actions, walks away.

In Luna Eclipsed the Mayor signals the beginning of the Nightmare Night festivities, donning a clown costume complete with a rainbow wig. In the spirit of the holiday night, she tries to sound scary, something Spike comments on disparagingly several times throughout the episode, claiming that the rainbow wig just ruins it for him. Like all of the other ponies, she is initially terrified at the reappearance of Princess Luna, for the latter had been previously known as "Night Mare Moon" prior to her redemption. However, after Twilight Sparkle helps Luna to let her fun side out and prove to the ponies that she's no longer one to fear, the Mayor and everypony else in Ponyville embrace the Princess.

In The Mysterious Mare Do Well, she announces "Ponyville's new hero" at the parade and is also the one who announces her name.

In the beginning of The Last Roundup, the Mayor set up a stage for Applejack announcing her leave for the Equestrian Rodeo Competition in Canterlot, as well as the emphasizing on Applejack's generosity in giving away her supposed prize money to invest in repairs for Town Hall (after which Derpy had accidentally damaged heavily). Before Applejack boarded the train, the Mayor kept reminding her to return with the prize money.

By far, the Mayor only appears in the four mentioned episodes in season one and currently four episodes in season two, plus one cameo appearance in a fifth episode.
