Trixie and the Illusions

Trixie and the Illusions are a student band that appears in the film My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. The group consists of lead vocalist/electric guitarist Trixie Lulamoon and backup vocalists/sampler players "Lavender Lace" and Fuschia Blush.
==Design and development==
The band name "Trixie and the Illusions" first appeared in a Hasbro Australia presentation slide in September 2013.
"Lavender Lace" has a color scheme and hairstyle similar to those of Cloud Kicker and "Cloudy Kicks" and a color scheme similar to that of Issue 20 Unnamed Mare - Olivia Dunham.
According to Rainbow Rocks co-director Ishi Rudell, "Lavender Lace" and Fuschia Blush were not named in the film's script. Fuschia Blush is named by "fuschiablush_rr_char_img.png" in an image directory formerly on Hasbro's Equestria Girls website.
==Depiction in Equestria Girls==
In My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Trixie and the Illusions compete in the Canterlot High School Musical Showcase against several rivaling bands, including the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings, and perform the song Tricks Up My Sleeve. In the second round of the competition, they eliminate the pianist duo Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops and face the Rainbooms in the semifinals.
When the Dazzlings manipulate Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna into advancing the Rainbooms to the finals, Trixie and the Illusions—at the Dazzlings' encouragement—ambush the Rainbooms during their rehearsal and trap them beneath the amphitheater stage. With the Rainbooms having apparently forfeited, Trixie and her band are able to play in their place.
Trixie's bandmates are last seen performing Tricks Up My Sleeve a second time in the Battle of the Bands' final round.
In My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games, "Lavender Lace" briefly appears in a crowd shot of students at the end of the academic decathlon.

===Chapter books===
Trixie's band is first indirectly mentioned in the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks screenplay novelization of the film's first eight animated shorts. When Rainbow Dash and her friends consider forming a band, Trixie overhears and states, "I'm going to start a band and I'm going to be the star because the Great and Powerful Trixie is the most fantastic singer of all!" She later receives criticism during the Spring Fling for not having any bandmates.
Trixie and the Illusions appear in the film's screenplay novelization Rainbow Rocks: The Mane Event as they appear in the film. Trixie's band members are not individually named, referred to only by band name.
