    Don't really have an answer to this question for the real me, but I can answer it for my OC, whose supposed to be a Transfromers version of me. The one with the Pope Hat in the Banner is my OC in beast mode.

    Episode name: Visitor from beyond

    Applejack finishes putting a load of apples in her barn and leaves. A moment later a strange flash of light illuminates the barn and two ponies appear. Both with white coats the older male with a golden mane and tale and the young filly with blue mane and tail. After they exit the barn they run into Appleblossom and Big Mac. The male pony intoduces himself as Lioconvoy, and the filly's name is Usagi. Appleblossom comments on their weird names. Then Lioconvoy asks if the youngest Apple could take his daughter on a tour of Ponyville.

    Most of the rest of the episode Usagi getting to meet the mane six, and occasionally cutting to Lioconvoy building something along the edge of the Everfree Forest. Throughout the episode Usagi says and does weird things. In the end what Lio built was an odd looking shack. Lioconvoy and Usagi enter it then it fall apart, but they aren't under the rubble.

    Well... to be honest, the closet parallel to myself is through my own OC Violia Shade. Though making a episode about her would be a bit tricky, because her presence does lead into some rather dark territories. I'll try to make it 'Hasbro approved' if at all possible.

    Episode Name: Darkest Perceptions

    It's starts out with a typically happy day in Ponyville. You know the drill. A lonely pony stands on the edge of the Everfree, staring at the town of Ponyville. A unicorn mare who had a odd look about her. After a sigh, she walks into the darkness of the forest. Not knowing her presence was noticed by one of the Mane Six who happened to be out in that area that day. Twilight being the one.

    Because of Twilight's curiously with this odd pony, she decides to make preparations to go into the forest, taking into account the wild beasts what wander and live in there. She questions how it's possible another pony beside Zecora could be living in the forest. a jump cut to Twilight exploring the deeper reaches as she tried to find the mare she saw. She eventually finds her but encounters some dark energy as she nears closer. This mare looked to be either summoning something or at the very least casting something. During this time, the mare body and features looked more demonic and when it all ended, it seemed as if the darkness has all but left. Twilight panicking as she realizes that she may of ran into a monster masquerading as a pony. Twilight was too scared to move, but in her fear she clumsily makes noise and falls out of hiding, getting the attention of the unicorn mare. She looked to be startled and suddenly scared of Twilight, immediately running away deeper yet. Twilight decided it would be best not to pursue farther til she knew what she was dealing with and returned to town.

    As the episode progresses, Twilight learns that this unicorn mare isn't as bad as she at first seemed though it took some convincing to prove. The mare revealed that she wasn't doing anything that would harm pony kind, but casting a spell to suppress her demonic half as her darker gifts grow stronger during the blood moon. Though as this happens a darker force seems to begin making it's presence known in the forest. One that was separate but similar to the unicorn mare named Violia, but still much different.

    This is a two parter episode, but this is the first part.

    The general moral: Judge not upon what you think will be true, until you pursue the truth. Nothing is as black and white as it seems.

    This was actually pretty interesting. And if you change demonic for dark energy or simply darkness, it could very well be an episode.

    Yeah. Again, Violia's existence and backstory are very non-Hasbro friendly. If I were to ever pitch her as a character, she would be changed drastically. Which may or may not hurt her as a character.

    I don't think so. Pretty much every character in cartoons and video games gets changed before they decide on a final version. I'm sure it could work on a family-friendly story, even with changes.

    A lot of her story goes into very dark territory. Way darker than whats even aloud on here. I suppose the episode itself could be fixed to be more kid friendly, but if Hasbro got their hands on her backstory, it would destroy her existence as a character if anything was changed. It wouldn't feel right at all. It maybe because I'd be too sensitive to any huge changes, but if anything huge gets changed, I'd drop it anyway because I have moral standards and I know how corporate *squee!*s will want to call her their own creation to try and denounce the original creator. So her existence in the reality of the show cannon will never happen.

    Now I kinda of am regretting posting on here about it at all.

    Name: Puma Claw

    Episode Title: Food's Gold

    Synopsis: Takes place pre-Season 4.

    A new restaurant has opened in Ponyville: Six-Bit Buffet. The restaurant's owner is eager, anticipating a great deal of sales on his first day of business. However, one pony---the aforementioned Puma Claw, whose appetite is only matched by his girth---shows up, devours pretty much everything available, and leaves without paying. Rainbow Dash and Twilight catch wind of the eat-and-run through the grapevine, and decide to confront Puma on the matter and convince him to pay up, only to find that he's effectively skipped town and made tracks for Canterlot for reasons unknown.

    Rainbow and Twilight follow him there the next day, asking around for his whereabouts. After a while, they find him having a meal at another restaurant---and discover that not only was his dinner more reasonably-sized, but he actually paid for it. When questioned on the circumstances of his eat-and-run, Puma tells them that there had been in a sign in the restaurant's window: "First Customer Each Hour Eats For Free - TODAY ONLY!". Twilight seems abashed at this discovery, but Rainbow replies that it's no excuse for eating everything and leaving the other customers with less options---complaining that she'd been looking forward to trying the place for herself. Puma is unmoved by this, telling them to take it up with the owner and even offering to go along with them if it means leaving himself in the clear.

    The three of them backtrack to Ponyville and visit Six-Bit Buffet, discovering that business is apparently booming. The restaurant's owner tells Twilight and Rainbow that he'd set up the promotion offer in direct anticipation of attracting a hefty eater to the establishment: logically if somepony ate the bulk of what he put out and enjoyed every bit of it, then potential customers would believe that the food was delicious enough to warrant that much being eaten; thus, in preparation for Puma's visit, he'd ordered extra supplies beforehand. The financial gamble paid off.

    Twilight and Rainbow apologize to Puma for dragging him around, but Puma makes an apology of his own: in retrospect, he shouldn't have been inconsiderate to that degree, as his appetite has been leaving him with monstrous stomachaches as of late. He hands over enough bits to cover their first meal and leaves them to enjoy their food in peace.

    Moral of the Story: Don't make hasty decisions; be observant. Failure to do so leads to difficulties for yourself and others. A lesser one: overeating leads to massive problems in the long run.

    The pony's name would be Mukluk, and the episode "These Boots Were Made for Trotting" would revolve around a pair of boots that are believed to be lucky and are carried around instead of worn.

    Joking aside, I wouldn't exist in this universe: there's no way that it could accommodate the kind of history and circumstances that made me who I am.

    Actually, they probably could. They just wouldn't be discussed in detail. Same as mine. >^_^<

    It would have to be discussed to a certain degree, or else I'll be even more unrelatable than Starlight Glimmer and just look like an over-the-top, contrived plot device solely for the purpose of creating drama from the ether. I'm already a joke in reality; I don't need to be one in fiction, too.

    I already had my episode.

    I'll leave it to you to figure out which one it was.
