Depiction in Friendship Games
Lemon Zest appears in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games as a member of Crystal Prep Academy's sports team, the Shadowbolts. She is first seen sitting next to Sci-Twi on the bus to Canterlot High School for the Friendship Games, sharing her deafeningly loud rock music with Sci-Twi. She is shown dancing and mingling with Canterlot High's students during the welcoming party after Pinkie Pie helps lighten the tension between schools, but returns to her hostile attitude after Principal Cinch intervenes.

She participates in the Friendship Games' first event, the Academic Decathlon, and is selected as the Shadowbolts' six remaining competitors after reaching the penultimate spelling bee contest. She and Sunny Flare compete in the speed-skating portion of the Tri-Cross Relay, but lose to Pinkie Pie and Rarity despite catching up to them after the Wondercolts' early lead.

Before the games' final event, Lemon Zest and her team join Principal Cinch in pressuring Sci-Twi into releasing the magic contained in her pendant-like device, intending to use it against Canterlot High. They all watch in horror as the magic instead transforms Sci-Twi into Midnight Sparkle, who begins tearing open rifts to Equestria. Having a change of heart, Lemon Zest helps Indigo Zap pull Rarity, Fleur Dis Lee and another student from falling through a giant rift in the ground. After Sci-Twi returns to normal, Lemon Zest and her team turn on Cinch and celebrate their shared victory with the Wondercolts. She is last seen chatting with DJ Pon-3 before the Crystal Prep students leave.

Hasbro.com Friendship Games description
''Lemon Zest is a bit of a drill sergeant. She's focused on her teammates performance to help them win, but doesn't care very much about connecting on a personal level.''

Personality
Lemon Zest demonstrates the actions of a wild, obnoxious rocker girl. She enjoys listening to loud music on her headphones, and forces Sci-Twi to listen to it at one point. Like most of Crystal Prep's students, Lemon Zest is fiercely competitive and obsessed with proving her school's superiority over Canterlot High School through any means necessary. Despite this, she happily socializes with Canterlot High's students during Pinkie Pie's party, and she later helps save several students from both schools when Midnight Sparkle's rampage puts them in danger.
