Latest revision as of 03:06, 29 October 2021

Princess Platinum, Clover the Clever, Commander Hurricane, Private Pansy, Chancellor Puddinghead, and Smart Cookie are six ponies who first discovered and founded the kingdom of Equestria long before the series' present day. Platinum, Hurricane, and Puddinghead served as the leaders of the unicorn, Pegasus, and Earth pony tribes respectively, and Clover, Pansy, and Smart Cookie were their advisors/seconds-in-command.

Design and development

Clover the Clever's color scheme, according to an illustration in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship, resembles those of Warm Front, Tall Tale, S06E06 Unnamed Earth Stallion #1, Officer Hard Case, and Unnamed Boy #12.

Commander Hurricane's cutie mark, according to illustrations in The Journal of the Two Sisters, matches at least the design of those of Compass Star and "Ponet".

Chancellor Puddinghead has the same body design and eye color as "Stärke Kragen", the same body design as "Roar Horn" and partly S08E01 Unnamed Unicorn Mare #1, and similar eyes to "Sprigfield".

Clover the Clever is named similarly to the G2 Earth pony boy Clever Clover.

Depiction in the series

The Equestrian founders' story serves as the focus of the season two episode Hearth's Warming Eve, reenacted through an annual holiday stage pageant. Long ago, before the rule of Princess Celestia, Earth ponies, unicorns, and Pegasi were divided by hatred and only cared about their own tribe. The tense peace between the pony tribes is eventually broken by a mysterious blizzard.

Princess Platinum of the unicorns, Commander Hurricane of the Pegasi, and Chancellor Puddinghead of the Earth ponies hold a summit to figure out how to cope with the blizzard, but they are unable to reach an agreement. After the three leaders confer with their subordinates—unicorn advisor Clover the Clever, Pegasus Private Pansy, and Earth pony secretary Smart Cookie—they decide to set out and find a new land.

The three pairs all meet in the same location and argue over whom has first stake over the new land, causing another blizzard to start. The six ponies take shelter in a cave, but as Puddinghead, Hurricane, and Platinum continue to argue, they are soon frozen in ice. Clover the Clever identifies the cause of the blizzard to be windigos—winter spirits that feed on hatred.

Despite the animosity between their leaders and tribes, Smart Cookie, Pansy, and Clover maintain warm relations, and they eventually break the windigos' spell through the Fire of Friendship. Their warmth thaws their leaders' bodies and melts their hearts, and the leaders decide to share the new land, naming it Equestria.

In the season five episode Hearthbreakers, the Friendship Express train offers "Chancellor Puddinghead puddings" to passengers.

In the season eight episode Marks for Effort, Chancellor Puddinghead, portrayed as male, is depicted in Twilight Sparkle's slideshow. In A Matter of Principals, Clover the Clever's cloak serves as one of several centerpieces in a School of Friendship scavenger hunt.

In the holiday special My Little Pony Best Gift Ever, Chancellor Puddinghead is mentioned as having made a legendary pudding dish for the very first Hearth's Warming.

In the Best Gift Ever short Mystery Voice, Princess Platinum, Commander Hurricane, and Chancellor Puddinghead are mentioned during Applejack's retelling of the first Hearth's Warming.

Depiction in Equestria Girls

In the hour-long Equestria Girls special Forgotten Friendship, Chancellor Puddinghead is mentioned as having tried to pass a law mandating that Earth ponies drink carrot juice at every meal, and the "Seven Trials of Clover the Clever" are mentioned, one of which involved him facing an evil sorceress who used the power of the Memory Stone to erase others' memories.

In Lost and Found, Commander Hurricane's helmet appears at a human world beach.

Storybooks

Chapter books

In Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell, Rainbow Dash mentions Commander Hurricane in chapter 9, "A Head in the Clouds".

In Princess Celestia and the Summer of Royal Waves, Princess Celestia mentions Clover the Clever in chapter 5, "Lesson Number Fun".

In Princess Luna and the Festival of the Winter Moon, Princess Celestia mentions Chancellor Puddinghead in chapter 11, "Royal We".

The Journal of the Two Sisters

In Amy Keating Rogers' The Journal of the Two Sisters, the Equestrian founders are mentioned frequently in Celestia and Luna's journal entries. Smart Cookie, Private Pansy, and Clover the Clever—referred to in the journal as female—act as representatives of Star Swirl the Bearded and approach Celestia and Luna to be princesses of the recently founded Equestria.

When Celestia and Luna finish constructing their castle, they meet King Bullion and Princess Platinum of the unicorns. Platinum acts disrespectful to Celestia and Luna at first and calls them "blank flanks". After Luna pulls a prank on Platinum, she apologizes for her behavior, and the three princesses start over as friends.

Private Pansy, Smart Cookie, and Clover the Clever also become victims of Luna's pranks, but Chancellor Puddinghead—referred to in the journal as female—outsmarts her. Due to Celestia and Luna's influence, Puddinghead makes better leadership decisions, and Commander Hurricane learns to control his short temper. Hurricane also helps settle a dispute between ponies and griffons.

One of the legendary founders of Equestria: daughter of King Bullion, and ruler of ancient unicorns. EXTREMELY FANCY.
