10/25/11(Tue)05:08 No.30873501From ShonHowell - First off, let me say just how much I've been enjoying My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. It's clever, well conceived and EXTREMELY well written. But I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. You may or may not be aware that MLP FiM has a growing fanbase (helped along by YouTube), and fans being the way they are jump on some points of production and running wild with it. In the first episode, there is a grey pegasus with a blonde mane at Pinkie Pie's party with loopy eyes. Fans have dubbed her "Derpy Hooves" and she's blowing up. I'm coming to this party a little late, but I was curious as to whether or not this pony had a name or not and what her cutie-mark represented. Thanks for any help you can give in this and keep up the good work.
Best wishes, Shon Howell
From Fyre-Flye (Lauren Faust) - Ha! I lurk around a bit and I noticed the Derpy phenomenon. As far as I know, her wall eyed moment was an accident -- or perhaps a layout artist entertaining him/herself. Who knows? Background ponies have no name, and their butt symbols are picked at random, so she can be Derpy if everyone likes. A later episode references a less-than-intelligent local pegasus named "Ditzy Doo" so maybe she can be her if we ever need to show her. But I would not want to step on everyone's Derpy love.
