Winter Wrap Up (event)

Winter Wrap Up is an annual event in Ponyville that involves clearing winter and bringing in spring.

In cities such as Canterlot, magic is used to end winter. Founded by Earth ponies, Ponyville made a tradition out of manually changing the season from winter to spring instead. Even after Unicorns started settling there, the tradition has continued.

All ponies are assigned to one of three teams: weather, plants, or animals.

Character models are reused throughout the episode however, and so many ponies appear to be on more than one team.

Weather Team

 * Leader: Rainbow Dash
 * Jacket: Blue
 * Members:


 * Pinkie Pie
 * Cloud Kicker
 * Derpy
 * Dizzy Twister
 * Medley
 * Parasol
 * Rainbowshine
 * Raindrops
 * Wind Whistler
 * Bon Bon
 * Sassaflash

Composed mostly of Pegasi, the weather team clears the sky of clouds and lets the sun warm up the land. Assigned ponies depart to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter. Several Earth ponies, Pinkie Pie being one of them, are assigned as lake scorers, who cut the ice as they ice skate on it, making it easier to break and to melt.

Plant Team

 * Leader: Applejack
 * Jacket: Green
 * Members:

Earth ponies from the plant team ensure that Ponyville will have enough food during the year. They move snow off the fields, plow them, and plant and water the seeds. While the team vests are introduced, Shoeshine is seen wearing a team leaders vest, although earlier Applejack is shown as team leader.
 * Berry Punch
 * Caramel
 * Cherry Berry
 * Doctor Whooves
 * Golden Harvest
 * Lucky
 * Noteworthy
 * Cheerilee
 * Shoeshine
 * Daisy
 * Coconut

Animal Team

 * Leader: Amethyst Star
 * Jacket: Tan
 * Members:

The animal team mostly consists of unicorns, but ponies from other races, most notably Fluttershy, are seen on the team. The team wakes up hibernating animals, cleans up their dens, and ensures that they have food to eat. Rarity was put in charge of nest-making for the returning birds. Interestingly, Amethyst Star is the team leader, even though there are two main characters on this team.
 * Fluttershy
 * Rarity
 * Lyra Heartstrings
 * Lemon Hearts
 * Minuette
 * Sea Swirl
 * Twinkle

Organization

 * Leader: Mayor / Twilight Sparkle

In the namesake episode, the traditional methods had failed for the past few years for unspecified reasons. Arguments arose and inevitable mistakes turned into major problems due to a lack of planning and coordination. Twilight Sparkle lent her skills to the effort, helping Ponyville bring spring in on time, earning the title of All Team Organizer, and a special jacket comprising of the colors of each team.
