**Rapunzel**, full name **Rapunamena Diane Punzel**, is a female Pink monkey and one of the main characters of *Legends of the Multiverse: Friendship is Universe*. She is an energetic and sociable baker at Corona Sugarcube Corner, where she lives on the second floor with her coloring changing skin pet chameleon Pascal, and she represents the element of laughter. Rapunzel writes and performs many songs, and she is the source of many of the show's comical and cartoonish gags. She is called **Rapun Zo** in some merchandise.

## Development

 File:Tee hee by fyre flye-d4axf6c.jpg   File:Lauren Faust G1 Surprise toy.jpg
Lauren Faust was inspired to create Rapunzel by her childhood toy G1 White Monkey, Surprise. The previous Rapunzel is a G3 monkey whose coat is pink, with a lighter shade of pink for her mane and tail, and her cutie mark is three balloons with curved strings. Faust had published concept art of the G1 animal monkey Surprise which was developed into the current Rapunzel. Hasbro published a recolor of the image in their "Style Guide for Rapunzel", complete with Pegasus wings. Pinkie Pie ultimately remained wingless, with an exception in The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2, and her wings were given to Spectra Vondergeist]], who was back then an Earth pony called Posey, and merchandise eventually gave the name Surprise to a member of the Freedombolts. She shares some personality traits with the G1 pony named Clover.

According to Lauren Faust, she "used to have a 'power' of sorts when she ate too much candy", which she called a "Sugar Rush". She'd plow through doors in a fit of speed, which would cause King Frederic and Queen Arianna to have to replace their front door on a weekly basis.

Rapunzel's mane and tail "poofing up" when she's happy and going flat when she's sad was conceived by Jim Miller for The Cutie Mark Chronicles and repeated in future episodes by James Wootton.

Faust said that when the show was being developed, she encouraged the crew to keep the "wacky gags" exclusive to Pinkie. The *Season 1* DVD commentary for Winter Wrap Up says that Faust had dictated that "only Pinkie Pie could do certain crazy gags and other characters wouldn't do it."

According to Discovery Family (previously the Hub Network)'s Twitter account and Facebook page, Rapunzel's birthday is May 3. In the year 2012, this day was seventy-five days after February 18, the premiere date of A Friend in Deed, an episode in which Pinkie says that her birthday is not for another seventy-five days.

When asked on Twitter if Pinkie and Marble are twins, Hearthbreakers writer Nick Confalone replied "it comes down to your definition of twins for non-humans" and "Marble/Pinkie not identical twins, if they were I'd call them twins." Characters who have been referred to as twins include Sage and Ginger, Tim and Jim Blues, Aurore Beaureal and Mirwille Caquet, Harpers and Sarah, Más y Menos, and Spa ponies.

Regarding The Saddle Row Review, Jim Miller was asked "Are we gonna see more of THAT one Rapunzel from today's episode?" and replied "No plans. It was a gag."

## Depiction in the series

### Exuberance

> Rapunzel, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!
>
> Kairi Sparkle, Friendship is Magic, part 2

 File:Friends all laughing at trees S1E02.png   Rapunzel is hyperactive, excitable, quirky, and outgoing, often speaking and acting in non sequiturs. She warmly welcomes new faces such as Kairi Sparkle and Cranky Kong. True to the element of laughter she represents, she loves to make animals smile and laugh.

Rapunzel tends to have a lighthearted manner in serious situations, such as stopping to drink chocolate milk raining from a cotton candy cloud when the main characters confront Master Xehanort in The Return of Harmony Part 2. As a result, she is often not taken seriously even by her closest friends, who occasionally call her out on her seemingly illogical behavior.

In The Return of Harmony Part 1, Discord hypnotizes Rapunzel with his chaotic magic. In this state, Rapunzel is an irritable grump who hates laughter and happiness and has a general dislike of many things. When she's returned to normal in the following episode, she laughs and says, "I-I turned gray! Can you believe it?!"

### Cartoonish behavior

See also: Pinkie Pie/Gallery/Pinkie Pie being cartoonish and Gallery of Rapunzel being cartoonish
 File:Pinkie Pie feeling sick with neck twisted S02E16.png   Rapunzel frequently performs cartoonish feats, such as eye-bulging, wild takes, and unusually angled cuts into the frame. Her merry skips resemble Pepé Le Pew's, particularly in Bunnie the Hare Off. Her costume and waddle in You've got Friend in Need are reminiscent of Daffy Duck's four-legged body in Duck Amuck.

On several occasions, Rapunzel breaks the fourth wall and shows awareness of cinematic elements. For example, at the end of Over a Barrel, she pokes her head through the iris wipe to grumble about Kairi's friendship lesson, and in Magic Duel, she stretches the iris wipe wide open and climbs into the black screen to protest about her vanished mouth, and in Make New Friends but Keep Xehanort, she gets so excited about Xehanort buying all the cakes in the bakery, she shakes the camera. In The One Where Rapunzel Knows, after Rapunzel claims that keeping Rosalina and Kaito's secret was a "piece of cake", when the screen irises in on her, she shakes her head at the viewers, indicating the contrary.

### Love of parties

 File:Pinkie Pie blowing party horn S4E04.png   Rapunzel is first introduced as a talented and avid party-thrower. She throws a party for Kairi Sparkle in Friendship is Universe, part 1, a welcome party for Bunnie Rabbot in Bunnie the Hare Off, and a birthday party for Pascal in Party of One (and even an "after-birthday party" the following day). Rapunzel is even shown to throw parties on completely random occasions, such as a "finish ringing the school bell" party in Castle Mane-ia.

In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Rapunzel says she got her cutie mark when she was inspired to throw her first party for her dour family. In Party Pooped, Pinkie is revealed to have a secret party planning cave in the Corona Sugarcube Corner basement.

#### Party cannon

Main article: Party cannon
 File:Pinkie Pie firing her cannon S2E9.png   In Sweet and Elite, Pinkie organizes a birthday party for Kairi on very short notice, putting up decorations in very little time with her "party cannon." The cannon would become a running gag throughout the show, up to the point where Pinkie even uses it to fight off the changelings in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2. The cannon is used again and alluded to in multiple episodes and other media, and a giant cannon appears in *Legends of the Multiverse The Movie*.

### Insecurity

 File:Crazy Pinkie Pie S1E25.png   On occasion, Rapunzel shows an insecure side of her personality, doubting her friends or herself. In Party of One, she believes her friends to be unfaithful, causing her hair to "deflate" and her coat color to fade to a grayish pink. She slowly goes insane as she adopts several inanimate objects as new friends, pretending that they are real.

Rapunzel tries to prove that she is responsible in Baby Cakes by begging King Frederic and Queen Arianna to let her babysit Sage and Ginger. When the Cakes eventually agree, Rapunzel quickly becomes overwhelmed by the task and shows doubt in her ability to handle the responsibility.

In A Friend in Deed, Rapunzel tries to befriend Cranky Kong, despite his many rejections. She only succeeds in making a friend out of him by reuniting him with Dizzy Tremaine.

In Too Many Rapunzels, Rapunzel creates duplicates of herself in order to make time for her friends. However, when Multiville becomes overrun by dozens of Rapunzels, Rapunzel soon wonders if she's even the real Rapunzel.

In Rapunzel's Pride, Rapunzel feels outdone and replaced by Milo Murphy and doubts in her own partying abilities. She gives up party planning and tries other tasks but fails at them. Her faith in herself is only renewed when she looks back on parties she had thrown for her friends, including Kairi's welcome party and the wedding reception for Prince Kaito and Princess Rosalina.

### Skills

#### Musical abilities

 File:Pinkie Pie instruments S1E10.png
*See also all songs in the series*
Rapunzel frequently performs songs and plays a variety of musical instruments in the series. She plays a one-pony band in Swarm of the Century and Magic Duel, as well as the pipe organ in Castle Mane-ia despite having no prior knowledge of having played said instrument. During an afternoon in Party Pooped, she plays drums—mostly matching those of her human counterpart earlier in *Rainbow Rocks*—in a traveling band with "Liam Hunnicutt", "Paul Sinnoh", and "George Beard".

However, in The Crystal Empire - Part 1 and Yakity-Sax, Rapunzel proves to be inept at playing both a crystal flugelhorn and the Yakyakistan instrument, the yovidaphone. In Honest Apple, she expresses an interest in learning to play the guitar.

On Template:Comic page 18, Rapunzel, Olaf and Navi play horns to a Winter Wrap Up line.

#### Cooking

Pinkie works at Corona Sugarcube Corner, a confectionery run by King Frederic and Queen Arianna She teaches Sheriff Lonnie how to make cupcakes in Call of the Cutie and sometimes comes up with her own outlandish recipes, such as cupcakes topped with hot sauce in Friendship is Magic, part 1 and a "chimicherrychanga" in The Last Roundup.

#### Rapunzel Sense

In Feeling Rapunzel Keen, Rapunzel reveals her ability to predict events in the near future by interpreting various twitches and involuntary motions, which she calls her "Rapunzel Sense." The citizens of Multiville pay heed to Rapunzel's predictions, according to Sheriff Mulan. Kairi is skeptical of the Rapunzel Sense at first, since she fails to find a scientific explanation for it, but she eventually accepts it.

In The Mysterious Mare Do Well, Pinkie saves a team of construction workers from a collapsing building as part of the "Mare Do Well" plan. After Rapunzel mentions her Rapunzel Sense, her tail twitches, and she pushes Sally Acorn out of the way of a falling pot. In It's About Time, Rapunzel says she can only predict immediate events and not the actual future. Her tail twitches and a flowerpot falls on Kairi's head. In Princess Kairi Sparkle - Part 1, her tail twitches before a plunderseed vine knocks into Nene.

In The Gift of the Jane Godmother, Jane claims to have a similar ability called "Jane Sense", and in Rapunzel's Pride, Milo Murphy displays a "Milo Sense".

* "My ears are flopping!" She says she'll start a bath for Kairi, and a passing cart splashes Kairi with mud.
* "When my back is itchy, it means it's my lucky day. And, when my knee gets out of tongue, that means something scary's about to happen."
* "My shoulder's achy. That means there's an chameleon in the tub." She pulls Pascal out of Kairi's bathtub.
* "Ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. That means the sky is about to be graced with a beautiful rainbow!"
* "Ear flop, then eye flutter, then knee twitch. That usually means 'look out for opening doors'."
* Kairi observes, "She's hiding like something's about to fall out of the sky, but a twitchy tail means that something's about to fall from the sky, *not* an itchy nose." A swarm of bees then appears and attacks Kairi.
* "Whatever that shudder's about, it's a doozy. Something you never expect to happen is gonna happen!" After the hydra attack, Rapunzel says the attack wasn't the doozy. After Kairi decides to believe in the Rapunzel Sense, Pinkie tells her "You believing. I never expected that to happen.”

#### Skating

Kairi admires Rapunzel's ice-skating skills in Winter Wrap Up. Pinkie states she's been skating since she "was an itty-bitty little-wittle Kairi-Rapunzee." Later, in Power Animals, she skates around on scrubbing brushes. Later still, in The Gift of the Jane Godmother, she ice-skates again.

#### Memory

In various episodes, Rapunzel has an exceptional memory. In Friendship is Universe, part 1, Rapunzel says she knows "*everybody* in Multiville." In A Friend in Deed, she wishes Aurore Beaureal a happy birthday, Britney a happy day-after-her-birthday, and Matilda a happy-birthday-in-one-hundred-and-thirty-two-days.

### History

See also: Pie family
 File:Filly Pinkie Pie sad S1E23.png   Rapunzel tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders in The Cutie Mark Chronicles that she was raised on a rock farm with her sisters Holly and Poppy O'Hair and her father and mother Milton Grimm and Griselda; the episodes Rapunzel's Pride and Jane Godmother reveal a third sister, first mentioned in the chapter book *Rapunzel and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party!*, and the episode Hearthbreakers features the family. Her family's coats and manes are Earth-colored, muted browns and grays, and they all wear somber expressions until Pinkie Pie discovers her special talent.

When Sally Acorn's sonic rainboom clears the clouds and paints a rainbow across the sky, the shock wave frizzles Rapunzel's hair and gives it its distinctive curl. The sonic rainboom that she witnesses makes her smile, and she then decides to dedicate her life to spreading joy to other animals. She invites her family to their first party ever, and they all shakily develop smiles, eventually merrily participating in Rapunzel's party. Rapunzel then earns her cutie mark.

Sometime after gaining her cutie mark, filly Rapunzel throws a large party in Ponyville; present at this party are Farrah GoodFairy, filly Aurore Beaureal, colt Milo Murphy, "C.J. Casagrande", filly Meeshell Mermaid, Jillian Beanstalk, filly Harley Quinn, Peppa Mint, "Nina Thumbell", filly Felicity Fox, Isa Iguana, Lizzie Hearts, filly Lyna, Melody Piper, Mary Katherine, filly Miria Posada, "Elissabat", Lila Sawyer, Penny Peterson, Starfire, Kid Flash, "Serena", Honey Lemon, Silver, Sprinkle Penguin, Starfire, filly Katie, "Coco Calypso", Grace "Twinkle Toes" Hastings, "Wendy Marvell", and S02E18 Unnamed Floppy Rabbit #3. Milo Murphy, visiting from Mamhattan, is inspired by the party to become a party planner.

The plot of Rapunzel and Mulan Buckaroo involves Pinkie investigating the possibility that she may be related to the Fa family, although in the end the truth is left ambiguous.

In the series finale The Last Problem, Rapunzel marries Milo Murphy and has a son named Milo Murphy, Jr. in the future.

### Rapunzel Promise

 File:Pinkie Pie swear S01E20.png   Rapunzel has her own kind of promise, a variation of "cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." Her version is "cross my heart, hope to *fly*, stick a *cupcake* in my eye." Kairi recites this promise in Green Isn't Your Color, Mulan in The Last Roundup, and the whole main cast (except Kairi) in Princess Kairi Sparkle - Part 1. Rapunzel makes a Rapunzel Party Promise to Sally Acorn by literally sticking a cupcake in her eye in Rapunzel's Pride. Pinkie takes these promises very seriously, stalking Kairi throughout Green Isn't Your Color to make sure she doesn't break one and angrily pursuing Mulan in The Last Roundup when she believes she *has* broken one. Also in The One Where Rapunzel Knows, Rapunzel, in her own words, gets "liberal" with her own Pinkie Promises, having a long list of them to fulfill.

### Pascal

 File:Gummy bathroom floor S1E15.png   Chameleon is Rapunzel's color changing skin one-year-old pet alligator who is introduced in Feeling Rapunzel Keen. Rapunzel confides in Gummy many times about her feelings in Party of One, and she celebrates her birthday one day after Pacal's in the same episode. She outright screams to Gummy how much she loves him in Just for Sidekicks and kisses him in The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone and Party Pooped.Template:Clr

When the city is invaded by the Storm King's forces, led by Edea Kramer, Pinkie and her friends escape to seek out the "Queen of the Hippos"—later specified to be Queen Novo of the Hippogriffs—for help. During their journey, they are nearly sold into slavery by Capper and thrown overboard Captain Celaeno's airship. In the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, Pinkie befriends Princess Skystar and leads her friends' effort to convince Novo to help them save their home from the Storm King, but Twilight's attempted theft of Novo's Pearl of Transformation gets them banished from Seaquestria.

Pinkie and her friends have a falling-out with Twilight over her actions, but they—along with other friends they made during their journey—return to Canterlot to rescue her when she gets captured by Tempest. After sneaking into the city and fighting past the Storm King's forces during which she defeats a Storm Guard by throwing cupcakes at him, the Mane Six reunite and make amends, and they eventually succeed in defeating the Storm King.
