Derpy

Derpy, also known as Muffins and formerly Ditzy Doo, better known to fans as "Derpy Hooves", is a background pony and a supporting character of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is a grayish pegasus with a bubble cutie mark and one of the many background ponies that can usually be seen. Her fame began to arise from an image of her with crossed eyes in the episode "Friendship is Magic, Part 1".
She was voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
==What Makes Her an Ensemble Dark Horse?==
*Her first appearance attracted a lot of attention, since fans noticed a pegasus whose eyes were crossed, giving them the impression that perhaps it was either a mistake or on purpose.
*The production director noticed this and instead of "fixing it" he left her like this, since he thought it was funny that her eyes were like that, this made the fandom more interested in her, which led him to name her "Derpy", also due to her slightly goofy personality that was given to her later.
*Due to her unique peculiarity and personality, many found her cute and fun, to the point where fan comics and fan arts were made with the character.
*Although, there was a point where she was considered offensive because people believed that it was a mockery towards disabled or mentally ill people, and asked that the character be removed, this fortunately did not go far, since thanks to the fandom and the viewers, Derpy remained on the show and even had an episode along with other ponies in the background. Which showed how popular and loved she was.
*Suddenly a filly appeared, who had almost the same colors as Derpy, which led fans to relate these two as mother and daughter (the filly's name was Dinky Doo).
*Despite her clumsiness, she has been shown to be a good friend, such as when helping Rainbow Dash put ribbons but unfortunately it goes wrong for Rainbow, she has also been shown to be a friend of Dr. Hooves (another popular pony in the fandom).
*Her love for muffins has also been shown to be quite tender, there are even headcanons in which she would do anything for them, like winning a race against Rainbow Dash for example, some even wonder why her cutie mark is bubbles, when she loves muffins.
*It doesn't matter if the series ended, or if no more g4 content comes out, Derpy is and will always be remembered as the pony with crossed eyes who won the hearts of the fandom and many others who are not part of the brony fandom, her little eyes, her love for muffins, her clumsy personality, her cute appearance. In general she is one of the most popular characters (perhaps the most popular) in all of MLP.
