Spa ponies

The spa ponies, Lotus Blossom and "Aloe," are two Earth ponies who work at the Ponyville day spa. They have not been named in the show, but Lotus Blossom is named in merchandise.

Design
Their appearance is similar to the babies of the G1 Surprise Twins Pony, and they share that color scheme. They also share the color scheme of the G2 Rose and Lily. They share Rarity's and Octavia's (minus the iris) eye design.

Depiction in the series
Lotus Blossom first appears in the episode Bridle Gossip, and later they appear together in Green Isn't Your Color. In the former episode, Lotus only appears briefly in the final scene, asking Zecora for the ingredients of her herbal bath. She speaks with a strong but indistinct Eastern European accent.

The spa offers many services in Green Isn't Your Color, such as massages, mud baths, seaweed bath wraps, steam rooms, and even horn filing for unicorn ponies. Rarity comes in for her "usual" and returns for a second time as soon as she's finished. "Aloe" does not seem to notice that Fluttershy is not a unicorn pony when she attempts to give her a horn filing regardless before realizing her mistake. Another pony works at the spa, and she briefly appears in this episode, giving Rarity a massage.

Lotus Blossom and "Aloe" also appear in A Friend in Deed where they give Cranky Doodle Donkey a service as a gift from Pinkie Pie. Another pony appears behind the counter.

Lotus Blossom and the masseuse both appear in Ponyville Confidential, where one of them attempts to give Rainbow Dash a pony equivalent of a pedicure, which she refuses hastily.

A number of Crystal Ponies are shown working at a spa in Games Ponies Play.

Other media
A miniature collectible of Lotus Blossom is included in the Spa Pony Set with Zecora and Pinkie Pie. A second Lotus Blossom mini-figure toy is included with a collector card in the eighth wave of mystery packs. Her name comes from the packaging of the toy releases, which each list the name as a trademark.

The spa ponies appear in the Comic Con 2011 promotional poster in front of the Shadowbolts.

The trading card of the Day Spa lists the spa ponies among its residents.

My Little Pony Friendship Express Train™ Puzzle Adventure shows Lotus Blossom with Twilight Sparkle in a screenshot from Ponyville Confidential. The game was released earlier than the episode was.

Animation errors
There are a few instances where one of the ponies' eye-shadow color is replaced with the other one's.
