DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION[]
The term "Equestria Girls" was first used in May 2011 when The Hub (now
Discovery Family) released a promotional music video on their website featuring
a parody of Katy Perry's "California Gurls".[1] The music video was unrelated to
the later-launched franchise.
In December 2012, Hasbro filed two trademarks for the name "Equestria
Girls",[2][3] stating that the brand would be used for "toy ponies and
accessories for use therewith" and "dolls, doll clothing and doll accessories"
respectively. The first film was announced in Kidscreen magazine's
February/March 2013 issue, which was both distributed at the 2013 American
International Toy Fair and released online. An article which covers Hasbro's
2013 plans mentioned that "A new companion series called Equestria Girls is set
to air this spring, sending the pony heroes on a mission to a new world where
they take on human form".[4]
TOYS AND MERCHANDISE[]
Various toy lines and merchandise were released as tie-ins to the franchise's
films and associated media. Standard releases consist of human dolls of the
series' main and supporting cast and have been released under the titles
Equestria Girls, Through the Mirror, Rainbow Rocks (which are themed around
music), Friendship Games (themed around sports and school spirit), and Legend of
Everfree (themed around several exotic assortments).
Spin-off toy lines include Equestria Girls Minis, which feature the characters
in a cuter, "chibi-fied" style.
CHARACTERS[]
Main article: List of Equestria Girls characters
HUMANS[]
Unlike My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, in which most of the characters are
ponies and various other animals and creatures, the majority of the characters
featured in My Little Pony Equestria Girls are human. The series is primarily
set in a world parallel to the pony-inhabited realm of Equestria, and much of
the cast consists of alternate human versions of pony characters as high school
students.
MAIN CHARACTERS[]
From left to right: Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle,
Rainbow Dash, Spike the Dog, Applejack, Pinkie Pie.
* Twilight Sparkle: The main character of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
and the Princess of Friendship. She first travels to the human world via
magic mirror to retrieve her stolen crown. She also appears in later media as
a supporting role.
* Spike: Princess Twilight's dragon friend and "number one assistant". Follows
Twilight into the human world in Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks as a
talking dog.
* Sunset Shimmer: A former student of Princess Celestia and the main antagonist
of the first film. She steals Twilight's crown in an attempt to rule over
Equestria, but Twilight and her new friends defeat her. Following her defeat
and reform, Sunset serves as one of the main protagonists in the Equestria
Girls sequels. She plays the rhythm guitar in her and her friends' band The
Rainbooms.
* Fluttershy: A shy and kindhearted teenage girl who loves animals. Plays the
tambourine in her and her friends' band.
* Pinkie Pie: A cheerful and carefree teenage girl who loves to meet people and
throw parties. Plays the drums in her and her friends' band.
* Applejack: A down-to-Earth country girl who values honesty and hard work.
Plays the bass guitar in her and her friends' band.
* Rarity: A very fashion-forward and generous teenager who loves to design
clothes. Plays the keytar in her and her friends' band.
* Rainbow Dash: An athletic and loyal girl who captains all of Canterlot High
School's sports teams. Plays the lead guitar in her and her friends' band.
* Twilight Sparkle/"Sci-Twi": Princess Twilight Sparkle's human counterpart and
former Crystal Prep Academy student. Very bookish and introverted, she
briefly serves as an antagonist in the third film. Following her defeat, she
enrolls at Canterlot High as a new student and later becomes backup singer
for the Rainbooms.
* Spike the Dog: The human world's Twilight's pet dog, initially introduced as
being non-sentient, but after a bout with an Equestrian jackalope, given the
ability to talk.
MAIN ANTAGONISTS[]
* The Dazzlings: Main antagonists of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow
Rocks. Consisting of Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze, they are
sirens from Equestria who hypnotize the Canterlot High student body through
song and feed off their negativity to grow powerful. They are defeated by the
Rainbooms through the music of friendship. They also appear in Find the Magic
and My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass performing at the
Starswirled Music Festival.
* Principal Cinch: Main antagonist of My Little Pony Equestria Girls:
Friendship Games and the strict principal of Crystal Prep Academy. Obsessed
with maintaining her school's reputation, she manipulates human Twilight
Sparkle, her prized student, into competing in the Friendship Games.
* The Shadowbolts: Secondary antagonists of My Little Pony Equestria Girls:
Friendship Games and the sports team for Crystal Prep Academy. Primarily
consists of Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, and Lemon Zest.
All of them except Indigo Zap appear again as minor antagonists in My Little
Pony Equestria Girls: Dance Magic.
* Juniper Montage: Main antagonist of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Movie
Magic and My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Mirror Magic. Initially introduced
as the niece of Daring Do film director Canter Zoom, she begins sabotaging
the production of the movie out of bitterness for not getting cast in the
main role. She later becomes corrupted by a handheld mirror enchanted with
Equestrian magic.
* Wallflower Blush: Main antagonist of My Little Pony Equestria Girls:
Forgotten Friendship. A frequently ignored Canterlot High student who comes
into possession of the Memory Stone and uses it to erase Sunset Shimmer's
friends' good memories of her.
* Vignette Valencia: Main antagonist of My Little Pony Equestria Girls:
Rollercoaster of Friendship. A social media celebrity whose phone becomes
enchanted with Equestrian magic, allowing her to make people and objects
digitize and vanish whenever she takes their picture.
* Kiwi Lollipop and Supernova Zap: Main antagonists of My Little Pony Equestria
Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass. They are a musical duo at the Starswirled
Music Festival who use a magical artifact called the Time Twirler to turn
back time and perfect their concert performance, inadvertently trapping
Sunset Shimmer in a time loop.
