## Depiction In Friendship Is Magic

#### Season 1

Moondancer's name is first mentioned in Friendship Is Magic - Part 1 by Twinkleshine and Spike. Twinkleshine says to Twilight Sparkle that Moondancer is having a little get-together at the west castle courtyard, but Twilight denied the invitation in order to focus on her studies. Spike later accidentally ruins a gift for her after being knocked aside by Twilight.

#### Season 5

Moondancer makes her first in-show appearance in Amending Fences. She is shown to be an asocial recluse, living alone in an old house in downtown Canterlot and focusing only on her studies. As a filly, she was friends with Twilight Sparkle. Twilight learns that after not showing up to the party Moondancer had thrown in the first episode, Moondancer became heartbroken and withdrawn, rejecting friendship altogether.

Twilight approaches Moondancer as a potential friend and appears to reach her at first due to the two's mutual love of learning and Twilight offering Moondancer the use of her old library home, but Moondancer eventually snubs her. After being lured to a party reminiscent of the one she had thrown, Moondancer vents her pent-up frustrations at Twilight. Twilight apologizes for the hurt she caused, and Moondancer comes to accept friendship once more. She is last seen playing a ball game with Lemon Hearts, Minuette and Twinkleshine.

## Depiction In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Sofia The First

#### Crystal Prep High Rocks

Moondancer returns in two films of the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Sofia The First franchise starting with the film Crystal Prep High Rocks in which she and Potion Nova are sitting in the rear seats of a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 (W222) driven by Princess Amber with Zooey sitting next to her. Once they got to Nova's house afterwards, Nova missed her Lincoln LS V6 so much after her experience of being a science teacher for 70 years. The next morning, when Moondancer and Zooey eat scrambled eggs for breakfast, Amber and Nova suffered fatigue and eyestrain after having a video chat with Sofia all night. In addition, Amber informs Zooey that Sofia and the Shadowbolts are in Poland, but they will be departing for Prague, the Czech Republic real soon, so the four of them unite.

Once Amber, Moondancer, Nova and Zooey landed in Vienna, Austria, they found Coco Pommel at the airport alone and they decided to unite as a team to Prague in her 2003 Nissan Micra 4-Door. Pommel is delighted to see Nova having Amber and Zooey as her daughters, but they are Nova's associates rather than her daughters. As they arrive at the Grand Majestic Plaza in Prague afterwards, Moondancer is finally reunited with Sunny Flare and Amber finally reunites with Sofia again until she meets her twin for the first time.

Moondancer, Nova, Sofia and Zooey play tennis in France and she gets infuriated when the Mane 10 and the CMCs learn to speak other languages, including Spanish. She also plays Beach Tennis in Portimão, Portugal with Nova, Sofia and Zooey, go for a river cruise in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, do horseriding in Cegléd, Hungary and went for a hike in the Swiss alps outside Bern, Switzerland.

#### The Journey Continues

Moondancer returns in the film The Journey Continues in which she returns home from work as a librarian in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On the way home, she spotted a woman with blue hair stranded by the side of the road who happens to be Princess Hildegard, so she offers her a lift. Throughout the film, an angry Hildegard enrages that Jade and Ruby Hanshaw enters Canterlot High School until Moondancer calms her down, eat at the nearest McDonald's restaurant food chain with Lemon Hearts, Minuette and Twinkleshine, do aerobics behind the house and reunites with Amber at the airport. She also ended up partying at her house towards the end of the film.
