Holly Dash is a female background unicorn pony, who appears in the episodes Friendship is Magic, part 2 and Swarm of the Century, in two of IDW's comic book series, and in Gameloft's mobile game. She has a light pink coat, a yellow, blue, and purple mane, blue eyes (which are not shown in the episodes but are shown in merchandise, the comics, and the game) and a cutie mark of a strawberry. She is not named in the show or the comics and was initially called simply "Chatty Schoolteacher" in the game, but she was first named by show staff and later in merchandise.

Development and design

Holly Dash is an original character of series animator Holly Giesbrecht—who signed a contract^[3]—and is called by that name by Giesbrecht herself, who specified on April 18, 2011 that "Some co-workers dubbed me 'Holly Dash' because I had colorful hair, so my pony is named that",^[4] and Sabrina Alberghetti,^[5] both earlier than merchandise's use of the name for the character; Giesbrecht has also depicted the character's eye color as blue earlier than merchandise and (subsequently) the comics each have.

In early January 2012, Giesbrecht stated that the character isn't in the show more often "Mostly because she wasn't supposed to be there at all."^[6]

Holly Dash is the first original character to appear in the show. She shares her design with "Ballad", shares her mane and tail style and part of her name with Rainbow Dash, shares her mane and tail style with Daring Do, Skywishes, Sugar Grape, Lucky Dreams, Sweetsong, Breezie, Feathermay, "Doseydotes", Periwinkle, Star Dasher, Léon, Roku-chan, and sometimes Ploomette and Banana Bliss, shares her mane style with Andrea, and shares her tail style with "Sunstone" and WCE Unnamed Mare - Jouster.

Depiction in the series

Holly Dash first appears very briefly at the end of Friendship is Magic, part 2, between Twinkleshine and another pony in the crowd bowing.

She later appears very briefly in Swarm of the Century, galloping through Ponyville as the town is under siege by parasprites.

Other depictions

IDW comics

In IDW's comic series, Holly Dash first appears on page 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #7, seeing the visage of Nightmare Rarity appear on the surface of the moon.

She later appears on page 5 of Micro-Series Issue #8, attending the royal high tea at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and seated across from "Crystal Clear".
