Coco Pommel

Coco Pommel is a supporting character who appears in the season four episode Rarity Takes Manehattan. She is a Bridleway dressmaker and Suri Polomare's former assistant.

Depiction in the series
Coco is a white Earth Pony mare with a two-tone blue mane. She wears a lavender collar with a scarlet tie. Coco is portrayed as a quiet, almost introverted pony. She is clearly dominated by her employer, Suri Polomare and is very unhappy with what she is forced to do as part of her employment. Despite this, she is shown quietly and submissively agreeing with her employer's lies and deceits.

Coco finds redemption by watching the example of Rarity and the rest of the Mane Six. She is so impressed by their friendship and the close bond that they share that she realizes that Suri was wrong to say that everyone is ultimately selfish and self-interested. She defies Suri to bring Rarity news of her victory in the fashion show and quits her job.

Coco is rewarded for her generosity (defined as doing a good thing for someone else without any expectation of reward) by Rarity giving her the job as designing the theatrical costumes she had promised to make in exchange for tickets to the musical "Hinny of the Hills". Thus it is that Coco realizes the truth of what Rarity had been singing about in Generosity: that putting others first is always ultimately rewarded.

At the end of her meeting with Rarity, Coco gives her new employer a gift which, when opened back in Ponyville, reveals a spool of rainbow-colored thread that evidently has some magical properties.
