## Depiction In Friendship Is Magic

#### Season 1

Bon Bon makes regular appearances in Friendship Is Magic as a background pony, usually in more prominent ways than regular background ponies. For example, after Twilight Sparkle's chase scene in The Ticket Master, Bon Bon expresses her astonishment at Twilight's disappearance upon teleportation. In Applebuck Season, she is one of the characters lining up for free muffins and one of the ponies who fell ill after consuming them. In Swarm of the Century, she is praised by Twilight for her good work on tending to the flowers.

When Apple Bloom secretly fills Bon Bon's bag with apples in Call of the Cutie and demands payment for them, Bon Bon complains and looks at Applejack disapprovingly until she is given additional apples at no charge.

In Green Isn't Your Color, she enters Rarity's boutique, inquiring about Fluttershy. However, she immediately loses interest once Rarity tells her that Fluttershy is gone and upon receiving a sales pitch from Rarity, she responds with, "And you are?" Later, she is one of the ponies crowding around Fluttershy after her presence in town is accidentally revealed by Twilight.

#### Season 2

In Lesson Zero, she falls under the spell that Twilight put on her filly doll Smarty Pants and expresses her love for the object. She is seen later fighting with Lyra Heartstrings in the background over the doll. In Secret of My Excess, she is seen talking to Lyra near a well, which Derpy pops out of. In The Last Roundup, she is the only background pony to welcome back Applejack at the Ponyville train station, at the train station during the episode's intro and at Applejack's surprise party.

She speaks again in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, once again with a different voice, where she complains about the cider she bought from Flim and Flam having rocks in it. She also appears in Hearts and Hooves Day standing next to Lyra in the village shot and appears screaming in Apple Bloom's fantasy scene.

In A Friend in Deed, she playfully bounces off a roof along with Lyra during the Smile Song.

In Putting Your Hoof Down, Bon Bon has a short speaking line with Cherry Berry on a bridge near Fluttershy's house and as in previous appearances, she is depicted with a different variant of voice again. While dragging garbage trucks away from Ponyville, she offers to listen to Cherry Berry's stand-up comedy routine. She also walks around in the market earlier in the episode, wearing saddlebags featuring Lyra's cutie mark, whereas other characters have saddlebags with buckles of their own cutie mark or something related. She meets Lyra at a table in the background later in the market scene. She also appears in It's About Time, Hurricane Fluttershy, Ponyville Confidential, MMMystery on the Friendship Express and in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2.

#### Season 3

In The Crystal Empire - Part 1, she walks with Perfect Pace through Canterlot during the song The Failure Song.

In Too Many Pinkie Pies, she is in the crowd that gathers in front of the library to complain about the annoying Pinkie Pie clones.

In Magic Duel, she is glaring angrily at Trixie's return to Ponyville after her previous visit in Boast Busters. She is also present during the rematch between Twilight Sparkle and Trixie, ducking under one of Twilight's spells. She also appears in Apple Family Reunion and Magical Mystery Cure.

#### Season 4

Bon Bon appears in Flight to the Finish, Rainbow Falls and Three's A Crowd. In Pinkie Pride, she appears in the present day and her filly adaptation wearing glasses appears in a flashback. She also appears in Simple Ways, Filli Vanilli, It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils, Leap of Faith, Trade Ya, Equestria Games, Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1 and Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2.

In Castle Sweet Castle, Bon Bon appears at Davenport's Quills and Sofas outlet purchasing a bed. In Bloom & Gloom, she appears in Apple Bloom's dream running from a swarm of twittermites. She also appears in Tanks for the Memories and Appleoosa's Most Wanted.

   In Slice of Life, she and Lyra help decorate Town Hall for Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda's wedding. It is revealed that Bon Bon is a former agent working for a monster-hunting agency outside Canterlot, but the agency was dissolved when a bugbear escaped from Tartarus. As the one who had originally captured it, Bon Bon went undercover in Ponyville using her alias to leave her old life behind. This revelation deeply upsets Lyra, her best friend, but the duo later make amends when Lyra shares one of her own secrets.

In Princess Spike, Bon Bon watches a polo game outside Canterlot Castle. She also appears in Party Pooped. In Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, she appears in Ponyville's shared dream physically attached to Lyra Heartstrings, similar to CatDog.
