Silver Spoon

Silver Spoon is a female school-age Earth pony and minor antagonist who first appears in Call of the Cutie, alongside her best friend Diamond Tiara. She and Diamond Tiara are classmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Silver Spoon's name and cutie mark are derived from the phrase "born with a silver spoon in your mouth," which implies being born into wealth and privilege.__TOC__
==Depiction in the series==
===Season one===
 In Call of the Cutie, Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara invite Apple Bloom and Twist to Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera, a party to those who just earned their marks recently, just so that they and the party attendees will make fun of both of them.
When Apple Bloom tries to hide her lack of cutie mark from the ponies in the party with a table cloth, she bumps into the guest of honor and her friend, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. As Apple Bloom prepares to leave, her makeshift dress shifts, exposing her flank. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon witness that it's blank and don't hesitate to make fun of Apple Bloom, who is soon joined by two other blank flanks. The teasing gets ignored as the blank flank ponies explain that being a blank flank means still having many possibilities open for them to explore. Silver Spoon later watches the other ponies play the party activities from the stairway, alongside Diamond Tiara.
She appears again along with Diamond Tiara on stage at the talent show in The Show Stoppers.

When the Crusaders later try to exclude Silver and the others from Twilight Time, she and Diamond lead the other foals to the Golden Oak Library against their wishes.
When the Crusaders are unable to perform the tasks they'd been learning during Twilight Time, Silver Spoon teases them, remarking that they didn't come to learn from Twilight. At this, Twilight points out that none of the other foals came to learn either, and Silver leaves the library in disappointment among her classmates.

 In Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Silver unintentionally hurts Diamond's chances of getting the vote for class president. First, she accidentally reveals Diamond's plan to erect a statue of herself after being elected, then later encourages her to show the voters she actually cares about them; in both cases Diamond angrily lashes out at her, souring the voters' opinions. After Diamond loses, she discovers that Silver Spoon didn't even vote for her. When Diamond confronts her, Silver Spoon points out that she yelled at her just for trying to help. After Diamond runs off in anger, Silver Spoon says that she doesn't "have to follow her drama any more." By the end of the episode, the two appear to have reconciled.
