Philomena

Philomena isPrincess Celestia's pet phoenix.
== Development and design==
The name "Philomena" is of Greek origin, meaning "powerful love". The name's English spelling is Philomena, though on the show's storyboard by Sabrina Alberghetti it shows up as "Philemena".[2] One of Hasbro's online coloring pages, a question on Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page, and a tweet by Hasbro's My Little Pony Twitter account spell the name "Philomeena".[3][4][5] The 2012 My Little Pony trading cards use "Philomena" and list it as a trademark.[6]
According to A Bird in the Hoof writer Charlotte Fullerton, Philomena was originally named Phoebe;[7] this name would be used by Dana Simpson for her human Phoebe and Her Unicorn character who appears in a picture[8] on Phoenix Comics & Games (and Everfree Northwest) exclusive cover RE of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #20.[9]
In late June 2015, Jim Miller was asked "Will we see Philomena on the show ever again or is she stuck to Princess Celestia's quarters?" and answered "Never say never. But no current plans to see her any time soon."[10
