So, if you look at my Avatar and my signature, you realy know my answer. my dream is that Octavia, Sweetie Belle and a Metal-Backgroundpony make a Metalsong Together. that would be so awesome.
Personally I would hope that when/if Trixie returns in season 3 it sets her up as a side character like Big Mac, Cherilee, Zecora, etc. As for actual background Ponies, I like alot of em, Carrot Top is one of my faves, but also like Bon-Bon, Lyra, Caramel, Derpy, Time Turner, DJ PON-3..etc.. all the background ponies are fun in their own right.... they should do an episode all about the background characters some day.
There's a difference from a side/ supporting character and a background character. Zecora is not a background character.
Ok cool was she in any other episodes other than Show Stoppers because that picture's from Show Stoppers?
