## Trivia

* At the end of Gonna Be My Day, when Sunny arrives at Canterlogic, Dahlia is seen at two places at the same time: talking with a grown up earth pony and in the background walking with a foal. That's probably because the animators used her model twice for the scene.
* There is an earth pony in Generation 1 named "Dainty Dahlia"
