Candy Mane

Candy Mane is the placeholder name of a female Earth pony with an apricot color coat, light grayish-rose and moderate-cerise wavy-streaked mane, and moderate cerise eyes. She has a cutie mark of either a pair of pony silhouettes or a bunch of grapes and a strawberry, but her cutie mark is absent in most of her appearances.

Development and design
In mid-March 2011, Lauren Faust was asked "Hi Lauren, I have a question... Is everypony in the crowd in Show Stoppers [link @] supposed supposed to have a 'blank flank', as in some sort of Easter Egg? Or was it a silly mistake" and answered "It was just an oversight. Wish I had a more interesting answer for you. Sorry."

In late April 2011, layout artist "FlashinthePan" was asked regarding this pony "Hey, FitP, I noticed an adult pony in the background once. It looks suspiciously like an adult scootaloo, Is this just a coincidence or did the character design of scoots come from this background pony" and answered "Gotta be a coincidence. But I'm not sure where she comes from, since she's not in the general file for incidental ponies (that I remember). She must be elsewhere, like 'incidental_party_pony' or something."

She has the same color scheme as "Dizzy Twister", and has the same tail style as Derpy, Sunshower Raindrops, Tropical Storm, High Spirits, and other ponies. Her cutie mark in Filli Vanilli is the same as on Sisterhooves Social flyers, while her cutie mark in Leap of Faith is the same as of Berryshine, Berry Dreams, Strawberry Sunrise, and S04E06 Unnamed Earth Mare #2.

Depiction in the series
Her first appearance is in Friendship is Magic, part 1 during the Summer Sun Celebration while Nightmare Moon gives her speech, and at the same spot in the beginning recap in Friendship is Magic, part 2. She also appears in The Ticket Master, Boast Busters, Fall Weather Friends, Suited for Success, The Show Stoppers, Green Isn't Your Color, and in Twilight Sparkle and Rarity's flashbacks in The Cutie Mark Chronicles.

She later appears in The Mysterious Mare Do Well, Hearth's Warming Eve, A Friend in Deed, A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, Magic Duel, Magical Mystery Cure, Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2, and Simple Ways.
