Pinkie Pie

Pinkie Pie (fully named Pinkamena Diane Pie) is a pink earth pony based on the "G3" toy of the same name. Her character, summarized by Thiessen as "a frenetic sugar rush", was inspired by the "G1" pegasus toy Surprise. She is a live-in party planner at Sugarcube Corner, a bakery and confectionery store in Ponyville that resembles a gingerbread house, where she also keeps a toothless baby alligator named Gummy. A comedic character raised on a "dreary rock farm", Pinkie is cheerful, energetic, and talkative. She is defined by her desire to entertain her friends by throwing parties at random times and acting as outlandish as possible; however, she demonstrates a lack of confidence and a fear of being rejected by others, which is occasionally expressed by her balloon-like mane deflating. Pinkie is a source of much of the series' humor, and several of the show's "wacky gags" are kept exclusive to her. Her running gags include breaking the fourth wall and "appearing suddenly in unexpected places", as well as an ability to predict future events through various body reactions, which she calls the "Pinkie Sense". In early episodes, Faust worked to depict Pinkie as a "free spirit" to address concerns of the character being seen as too "hyper" and "ditzy". As the creative team grew more comfortable with Pinkie's character and humor, she became "really over-the-top strange and bordering on crazy, with a wacky cartoonish magic all her own."
