**Derpy Hooves** is a female pegasus pony and one of the bakers of the Muffins saga. After accidentally discovering Pinkie Pie's sadistic side, she becomes her second apprentice and partner in crime next to Apple Bloom.

## Appearance

Derpy closely resembles her counterpart in MLP:Fim. She is a light grey pegasus with a blonde mane and tail and crossed darker yellow eyes. Her cutie mark contains a group of bubbles.

## Personality

Derpy is portrayed as a very friendly pony who isn't openly cruel or nasty unless provoked. She is often quite childish and clumsy, but not completely naïve to the world around her, as many would suspect. She likely understands that murdering ponies is wrong, although possibly not to the extent of the average pony her age. Baking muffins empowers her and gives her an opportunity to get back at the world for mistreating her. She is hesitant at first to torture ponies, but through encouragement from other bakers, she starts not caring if it's right or wrong as long as others support . In "The New Elements of Harmony," she is proclaimed by Pinkie to be the Element of Reliance for being the most trustworthy pony that anyone can rely on.

### Backstory

Derpy Hooves was a single child born with an unnamed developmental disability that made her unable to fly as well or learn as fast as her peers, forcing her family to live on the ground. Her father, who was loving and caring, was often absent due to work, and thus she spent most of the days with her mother, who yelled at her or slapped her when she misbehaved. Ultimately, her mother abandoned her in the countryside when she got Derpy distracted with blowing bubbles. This incident was also when Derpy earned her cutie mark.

Noticing her mother's disappearance, Derpy wandered to Ponyville, where she caused a commotion and got sent to child services. From there, she got assigned to a special needs orphanage, where she grew up to adulthood.

With help from the hospital, she purchased a small house outside of Ponyville and began earning money through smaller side jobs.

After being saved from a harassing vendor by Applejack, Derpy was invited to a picnic party where she met Apple Bloom and Pinkie Pie. She quickly befriended the two and started meeting them in the Sugarcube Corner.
