The name Bon Bon comes from " bonbon ", which is French for "candy", and originates from Sweetie Drops' cutie mark's resemblance to wrapped sweets. Her cutie mark resembles that of a G1 pony named Bon Bon while her color scheme is similar to that of the G1 pony Gingerbread. Different merchandise name her Sweetie Drops and Bon Bon. In Marks for Effortshe is referred to in dialogue as Bon Bon. Sweetie Drops frequently appears with Lyra Heartstringswhich has been explained by a layout artist to be mostly coincidental and based on aesthetic considerations, as Lyra and Bon Bon and the Mares from S.M.I.L.E. as season one is concerned. As with most background ponies, Sweetie Drops's design and color scheme are frequently used for filler ponies in crowd scenes. For example, in Fall Weather Friendsfour or five Sweetie Drops can be seen as the angle pans past right before the race. Another four or so can be seen in the race stampede afterward; however only one is in the actual race. She is also "doubled" near the end of the Winter Wrap Up songright before Twilight Sparkle 's finishing part, as well as many other times and places.

In Swarm of the Centuryshe is praised by Twilight for her good work on tending to the flowers.

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? In Lesson Zero she falls under the spell that Twilight put on a doll, Smarty Pantsand expresses her love for the object. She is seen later fighting with Lyra Heartstrings in the background over the doll. In The Last Roundupshe is the only background pony to welcome back Applejack at the Ponyville train station; she also appears at the train station at the beginning of the episode, and at Applejack's surprise party. She speaks again in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezyonce 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 Daystanding next to Lyra in the village shot and appears screaming in Apple Bloom's fantasy scene. In Putting Your Hoof DownSweetie Drops 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 Heartstrings's cutie mark, whereas other characters have saddlebags with buckles of their own cutie mark or something related. 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 last visit.

For Christina Lucine—the girl who makes crystals shine bright Heartsong The Crystal Heart glowed with a pulsating light. Its glittering facets reflected on the ground in a brilliant spray that reached across the pavement and onto the hooves of the ponies lined up around it. Princess Cadance’s elegant face was illuminated by a subtle blue glow, casting her furrowed brow with a soft haze. This Heartsong hadn’t gone at all as she had hoped. Usually, the annual Hearts and Hooves Day Heartsong garnered so many ponies in attendance that not everypony could fit in the main plaza! Ponies of all ages would spill out onto the shimmering side streets. They would bring apple crates to stand on, craning their necks for a glimpse of the ever-glowing Crystal Heart and the popular young royals conducting the songs. This year, however, a horrible case of the pony sniffles had swept across the kingdom. Most of the residents were at home, snuggled in their beds. Princess Cadance knew that it was a major problem, for the Heartsong was actually a very important event.

Hearts and Hooves “Thanks for going with me to the party, Bon Bon,” said Lyra as she followed her best friend into the cottage. Lyra, a mint-green Unicorn, broke into a tiny smile. “It was nothing, really,” replied Bon Bon, distracted. She trotted around the room, looking under furniture and opening closets. “Stop.” Lyra put her hoof on Bon Bon’s shoulder and caught her eye. “It meant a lot to me. I know how you despise social events like that, even when they are thrown by Ponyville’s best party planner —Pinkie Pie.” Lyra reflected on the party, riffling through the snapshots in her mind of fun Hearts and Hooves Day activities. There had been cards, songs, heart-shaped confetti, and chocolate treats as far as the eye could see. They had played a game where everypony tried to guess the new filling flavors of the truffles that Pinkie Pie had whipped up especially for the party. Bon Bon had won by guessing “caramarshmallow sprinkle,” but seemed quite embarrassed about it—she had demanded they make a quick exit right after.

First introduced in 1982-1983, My Little Pony is a “commercial transmedia supersystem” (Kinder 38), that is to say a franchise built around characters and narratives that span several media, from toys to TV shows to comic books. The 4th generation was based on the animated TV show developed by Lauren Faust in 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (which, for the sake of conciseness, I will refer to as “MLP: FiM”), through a partnership between Hasbro Studios and production company DHX Media.
