Candy Mane

Candy Mane is the placeholder name of a female Earth pony with an apricot color coat, light grayish-rose and moderate-cerise wavy-streaked mane, and moderate cerise eyes. She has a cutie mark of a pair of pony silhouettes, a row of pink bubbles, or a bunch of grapes and a strawberry, this however is absent in most of her appearances.__TOC__
==Development and design==
 In mid-March 2011, Lauren Faust was asked "Hi Lauren, I have a question... Is everypony in the crowd in Show Stoppers [link]@ supposed supposed to have a 'blank flank', as in some sort of Easter Egg? Or was it a silly mistake" and answered "It was just an oversight. Wish I had a more interesting answer for you. Sorry."
In late April 2011, layout artist "FlashinthePan" was asked regarding this pony "Hey, FitP, I noticed an adult pony in the background once. It looks suspiciously like an adult scootaloo, Is this just a coincidence or did the character design of scoots come from this background pony" and answered "Gotta be a coincidence. But I'm not sure where she comes from, since she's not in the general file for incidental ponies (that I remember). She must be elsewhere, like 'incidental_party_pony' or something."
She has the same color scheme as Orange Swirl, the same coat and mane colors as Swan Song, and the same tail style as Derpy, Sunshower Raindrops, Blue Buck, Tropical Storm, High Spirits, and other ponies. Her cutie mark in Filli Vanilli, Inspiration Manifestation, and The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows is the same as on Sisterhooves Social flyers, her cutie mark in The Mysterious Mare Do Well is the same as that of S05E25 Unnamed Unicorn Mare #2, and her cutie mark in Leap of Faith is the same as that of Strawberry Sunrise.
