[[File:Ponies at Cranky Doodle and Matilda's wedding ceremony S5E9.png|thumb|300px|Several background ponies can be seen attending [[Cranky Doodle Donkey]] and [[Matilda]]'s wedding ceremony in [[Slice of Life]].]] '''Background ponies''' are [[ponies]] that appear in the background during most scenes in [[Friendship is Magic animated media|episodes]] and possess character models that are used frequently to fill out crowd scenes and incidental characters in [[My Little Pony Friendship is Magic|the show]]. In late April 2013, Discovery Family (previously the Hub Network)'s Facebook page and Twitter account referred to [[Trixie]], [[Princess Luna]], [[Daring Do|Daring-Do]]{{sic}}, [[DJ Pon-3]], [[Spitfire]], [[Twilight Sparkle|Princess Twilight Sparkle]], [[Queen Chrysalis]], and [[Zecora]] as background ponies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/DiscFamily/photos/a.155347071181050.33326.119249468124144/497338410315246/|title=Choose which background pony you want...|publisher=Facebook|date=2013-04-27|accessdate=2016-11-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/DiscFamilyDay/status/328316436927873025|title=Disc Family Daytime on Twitter: "Choose which background pony you want for the seventh #MyLittlePony cutout!

==Introduction==
 
:{{Main|Animation}}
 
 
Each [[Friendship is Magic animated media|episode]] goes through several stages in pre-production: premise, script, dialog recording, and storyboard. The storyboards detail each shot and most of the layout, posing, and camera actions. After storyboarding, backgrounds are created or re-used, and the preliminary staging, composition, and color balancing is refined by the layout department, who ship the layouts to the animation department. After animation and animation revisions, the episode is further refined in post-production.<ref>[[:File:Jayson Thiessen interview Equestria Daily 2011-09-14.pdf|Jayson Thiessen interview]], answer about layout department, 2011-09-14</ref> The initial two or three dozens of background ponies were summarily approved by Lauren Faust, intended to fill the background of places populated by ponies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZD23--3fmY&t=28m44s|title=PonyCon 2016 Character Development Panel with Lauren Faust|publisher=YouTube|date=2016-02-18|accessdate=2016-03-12}}</ref>
 
 
==Usage==
 
Background characters are dropped into scenes only in the layout phase, after storyboarding has already finished.<ref>[[:File:Nayuki layout artist role.pdf|Layout artist on the role of layout artists]], 2011-04-05</ref><ref>[[:File:Nayuki layout artist Derpy season 2.pdf|Layout artist discussing the role of Derpy in season two]], 2011-05-08</ref> From a story standpoint, they are interchangeable and serve the purpose of populating scenes whenever ponies other than the main or supporting characters are needed. Crowd scenes are often filled with multiple copies of the same designs, in crowd scenes in [[Friendship is Magic, part 1]], [[Friendship is Magic, part 2]], [[The Show Stoppers]], [[Luna Eclipsed]], and many more episodes. In [[The Ticket Master]], [[Boast Busters]], [[Fall Weather Friends]], and [[The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]], there is a galloping "mob" of ponies, consisting of [[Diamond Mint]], [[Berryshine]], [[Shoeshine]], [[Lyra Heartstrings]], [[Lemon Hearts]], [[Daisy]], [[Amethyst Star]], and [[Minuette]], and in some shots the entire group is duplicated to increase the number of ponies. They also use colorfill on a lot of ponies, changing the color but leaving the same cutie mark and design.
 
 
The design for all characters and their color schemes are subject to approval by Hasbro.<ref>[[:File:Nayuki layout artist Lyra Bon Bon.pdf|Layout artist discussing the show's approval process]], 2011-05-09</ref> The background ponies mostly share two body types–one male and one female-and are generally only differentiated from each other by pony type, mane style, mane color, coat color, eye color, and [[Cutie marks|cutie mark]]. There are [[List of ponies|hundreds of different ponies]] whose color schemes or designs are distinct from each other even though they share the same design, although some of the background ponies are used more frequently than others, such as Lyra Heartstrings and [[Sweetie Drops]]. These two ponies are used by a layout artist for added visual gags.<ref>[[:File:Nayuki layout artist Lyra Bon Bon.pdf|Layout artist "Nayuki" describing his use of "Lyra" and "Bon Bon" for background gags.]]</ref>
 
 
===Recurring background ponies===
 
{{Expand|for=[https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/3mce6e/you_know_that_show_bible_leak_from_a_couple_days/ expanded]}}
 
Among all of the background ponies that are used in the show, there are twenty-two mares that are used consistently in [[Ponyville]], and as a result are the most commonly seen in the series. They typically occupy crowd scenes and react to actions performed by the main cast, or, on rarer occasions, even interact with them. These twenty-two characters consist of six [[Earth ponies]], six [[unicorns]], and ten [[Pegasi]], each one sharing her design with at least one other. Their names as given by the show, merchandise, or currently held with a [[My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Wiki:Placeholder names|placeholder]], are as follows:

Other recurring background ponies include [[Rose]], [[Lily Valley]], "[[Candy Mane]]", [[Lyrica Lilac]], [[Royal Ribbon]], and an assortment of male ponies, but they are absent from the list due to a relative lack of appearances and/or an offset of shared designs.
