Ms. Peachbottom is a character seen in Games Ponies Play. She is mistaken for the Equestria Games Inspector by Rainbow Dash and her friends as they take her on an in-depth tour of the Crystal Empire over the course of the episode.

Development and name
During the week leading up to the premiere of the episode Games Ponies Play, story editor Meghan McCarthy wrote on Twitter that the original name for a new character introduced in the episode was Ms. Peachbottom, referring to the Equestria Games Inspector Ms. Harshwhinny. Following the episode's premiere, one of the show's layout artists wrote on The Allspark Forums that he "thought she had a name, though her flash file doesn't have one", referring to the character who is mistaken for the Games Inspector. On the DVD My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Princess Twilight Sparkle, the closed captions for the episode refer to to the character who is mistaken for the Games Inspector as Ms. Peachbottom.

Depiction in the series
Ms. Peachbottom first appears in the episode Games Ponies Play when she is mistaken for the Equestria Games inspector, Ms. Harshwhinny, due to her luggage having a flower motif, which was the only information the main ponies were given by Princess Cadance in order 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 on in the episode, when she explains she is only a tourist from Mustangia and not the Games inspector, the ponies go on a panicked rush to find the real Games inspector. She meets the real inspector at the spa and tells of the wonderful welcome she received, convincing the inspector to choose the Crystal Empire as the next host of the Equestria Games after conversing with Princess Cadance and the ponies.

Ms. Peachbottom is shown to be exceptionally warm and friendly as well as athletic, outrunning a number of the runners on the Crystal Empire track team. She is also surprisingly knowledgeable when it comes to architecture, and she is implied to be claustrophobic (afraid of enclosed spaces) and altocelarophobic (afraid of high ceilings), as she becomes extremely anxious when she enters the Crystal Palace interior.
