Depiction in the series
Ms Peachbottom first appears in the episode Games Ponies Play when she is mistaken for the Equestria games inspector, Ms Harshwinny, due to her luggage having a flower motif (the only information the mane 6 were given on how to find her). During her visit she enjoys the warm welcome she is given as well as her tour of the castle (despite having more knowledge of architecture than her guides). Later when she mentions that she is a tourist from Mustangia and not the games inspector, this causes a panicked rush to find the real inspector who she meets at the spa and tells of the wonderful welcome received, prompting the inspector to chose the Crystal Empire as the next host of the Equestria Games. She is shown to be warm and friendly as well as athletic, out running a number of the runners from the Crystal Empire's team, she also surprisingly knowledgeable when it comes to architecture is implied to be claustrophobic as she became extremely nervous when she entered the crystal palace.
