She has speaking roles in The Mysterious Mare Do Well, Slice of Life, and the German version of The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.

Depiction in the series
Amethyst Star is commonly featured in the series as a background pony. During party scenes and running sequences, she usually wears a yellow-orange saddle with a yellow skirt underneath, and sometimes a yellow flower is tucked into her mane next to her ear.

Season one
Amethyst Star first appears as a passerby in Canterlot in Friendship is Magic, part 1, holding a shopping bag in her mouth while Twilight Sparkle runs past her. She next appears in the party that Pinkie Pie throws for Twilight in the library at Ponyville, and since then has remained a consistent sight in the town.

In the episode Winter Wrap Up, Amethyst Star is the leader of the animal team, but she also partakes in the ice-carving scene as part of the weather team. In Over a Barrel, she is seen in Appleloosa, wearing the same yellow-orange saddle along with a straw-colored, dome-crowned cowboy hat. She appears often at the Grand Galloping Gala in The Best Night Ever. While marching on her way to the gala, she appears hornless when viewed from the front.

Season two
Amethyst Star competes in Sisterhooves Social alongside "Dinky Doo", and she holds a picnic with Liza Doolots in The Mysterious Mare Do Well. In the latter episode, Rainbow Dash attempts to open her jar of peanut butter in an attempt at heroism, whereupon Amethyst Star responds with her first spoken lines.

In A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, Amethyst Star is one of twelve horn-blowing unicorns at the wedding during This Day Aria, Part 1.

Season four
Amethyst Star appears in Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2, Flight to the Finish, Power Ponies, Rainbow Falls, Pinkie Pride, and Three's A Crowd. In Simple Ways, she gives Rarity a bouquet of roses when she's chosen as the pony of ceremonies for the Ponyville Days Festival. Amethyst Star also appears in Filli Vanilli, It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils, Leap of Faith, Trade Ya!, Inspiration Manifestation, Equestria Games, Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1, and Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2.

Season five
Amethyst Star appears in The Cutie Map - Part 1 outside of the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle, in Bloom & Gloom running from the twittermite swarm, and in Tanks for the Memories.

In Slice of Life, Amethyst Star appears in her second speaking role as Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda's replacement wedding organizer. She calls herself the former "best organizer in all of Ponyville", revealing that no one asked for her services since Twilight moved to town. She later appears at the wedding as a guest. The credits name her as in previous materials.

Amethyst Star appears at a cafe with Noteworthy in Princess Spike, at the friendship party at the end of Party Pooped, as a filly in Twilight's flashback in Amending Fences, in Ponyville's shared dream in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?, at Canterlot Carousel in Canterlot Boutique, at the Sisterhooves Social in Brotherhooves Social, and in Ponyville in Scare Master. In The Mane Attraction, she helps organize the charity event with Applejack.
