derpy hooves !! ^^

who is this, "derpy hooves?"

☆ derpy, also known as muffins and ditzy doo, is a female pegasus pony who was given the name derpy hooves by the show's internet following due to her cross-eyed "derpy" expression in the first episode. the name has since been adopted by the crew and hasbro. starting with feeling pinkie keen, the show's crew began giving the pony crossed eyes intentionally and later gave her "where's waldo" type cameo appearances as a nod to the fans. ☆

☆ even though background ponies typically have no official names, when derpy was still a background pony an animator from the philippine studio working on the show said that derpy was nicknamed stoneface, bubbles, bubblehead and ditzy by the crew; "bubbles" was previously used as the name of a g1 earth pony and is also the same as the name of the basis of friends forever 16 unnamed filly - bubbles. ☆

☆ thiessen later relayed that the canadian crew has adopted the name derpy. amy keating rogers sang her original rendition of the smile song at bronycon 2012, in which pinkie pie speaks to derpy and calls her derpy doo, which in rogers' script, the name changed to. ☆

☆ when i first saw her i thought,"aw! that pony looks SOOO CUUTEE!" not knowing her eyes were an animation glitch. even when i found THAT out, i still saw derpy as a very adorable pony. ☆
