Party Favor

*It's*you*who have taught*us*something. We all came to this village because we were searching for something missing from our lives. We thought Starlight had given it to us, but now... now it seems it was in front of us all along. It's us!*"

Party Favor to the Mane 8

## Overview

Party Favor was a male unicorn pony. He was a resident of a village, formerly led by Starlight Glimmer, in which its inhabitants had all given up their cutie marks. In Season 9 he joined the Survey Corps, and helped in the first battle against Grogar.

## Story

### The Cutie Map arc

Party Favor first appears in The Cutie Map - Part 1 welcoming Twilight Sparkle and her friends when they arrive at Our Town. He and Double Diamond introduce them to the village's founder Starlight Glimmer. Later in the episode, he, Sugar Belle, and Night Glider express great interest in Twilight and her friends' cutie marks, harboring a desire to have his own back. They inform the eight about the vault in which their marks are kept, inadvertently leading them into a trap laid by Starlight.

In The Cutie Map - Part 2, when Fluttershy appears to convert to the town's ways, Starlight Glimmer asks her to identify the ponies who told the Mane Eight about the vault. Party Favor takes the blame for Sugar Belle and Night Glider, protecting them from punishment. When he is locked up with the rest of the Mane Eight, he accepts that it is useless to rebel against Starlight. Upon his release, he begs her forgiveness.

When Fluttershy reveals to the villagers that Starlight Glimmer still has her cutie mark, Party Favor feels deceived and betrayed. He and the other villagers turn against Starlight to reclaim their cutie marks. He, Sugar Belle, Night Glider, and Double Diamond then pursue a retreating Starlight through the mountains to recover the Mane Eight's cutie marks, during which he makes binoculars and a bridge out of balloons. After Starlight escapes, he thanks Twilight and her friends for helping them realize what they've truly been missing in their lives.

He is seen again at the end of The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2, where he and the other ponies at the village are shown forgiving Starlight for her actions.
