    Um, Really? What's so bad about Aloe and Lotus? And for that matter, what's so bad about Green Isn't Your Color?

    I don't know why I hate Aloe and Lotus there's just something about them that I don't like, but to answer your other question I don't like Green Isn't Your Color mostly because of Photo Finish and the fact that she reminds me of Lady Gaga who I hate but I also hate what the episode is about and what happens in it.

    Photo Finish reminds me of an Osborn for some reason. I like Sapphire Shores though. She's well......spunky?(I can't think of a better word at the moment)

    Why is this a discussion?
    Or are we not including Derpy Hooves, as she is the main character?

    The discussion has changed from "Who is the best background character?" to "What background characters do you like and why?" Why no one like cake twins?

    Is Cadence a backround pony? I guess not, but I still love her. If someone asked me who my fav pony was, I'd say her. All hail Princess Mi Amore Candenza :3
    But a literal backround pony? Octavia, and many people claim she is Pinkie's sister, though I couldn't be sure.

    Okay, I don't know how Candance, Zecora or the Cake Twins would even count as background pony's. They've all had episodes where they played major roles in {With Zecora, it's more then one episode, and with Candance it's ovbious that she's going to return in season three}. Background pony's are just that: Charectors in the background who sometimes get very small speaking roles, but sometimes still manage to be memorable, wheather it's for the charector design, a joke in the show involving one of them {Like how Lyra sits down like a human}, or anything else.

    Why do people spell her name Candance her name is supposed to be spelled Cadence, but yeah Cadence, Zecora and the cake twins are not background characters.

    I'll probably stick with "Cadance" just because that's how it first was. They changed her spelling on the episode description from what it originally was. I have a foil trading card of her yesterday and it's spelling is "Cadance." I guess it really doesn't bother me much. It's not like people don't know who I'm talking about.

    My fave background characters? I dunno. I don't just have one. My Favourites are Lyra, Vinyl Scratch and Derpy.

    Honestly I'd hardly consider Cadence a back ground character, she played a pretty important role in the finale.

    And then Nightmare Moon was a bg character. So can Cadence.

    I was talking about her name, not her as a BP. My favorite background pony is the same as always, which is Lyra.

    They sure changed a lot of those pony's names from what they used to be.
