Line 330:
*** And then they made her name and the fanon personality (a klutzy, but friendly, mare) canon in "The Last Roundup".
*** The name, however, has been removed in later versions of the show, such as the episode available on iTunes. The author explained that she didn't know how pejorative the word "derpy" was. (She was also revoiced; her voice actress explained that she didn't know the character was supposed to be female.) There was Internet Drama about the whole affair.
*** Since reversed - Derpy gets an extensive appearance in season 5's "Slice of Life" and a new voice -- that ''just happens'' to match her single most popular fan-portrayal voice (the one used in 'Dr. Whooves and Assistant'). And to make it even more obvious, in that episode she helps Dr. Whooves putter around in his lab.<ref>On the other hand, the credits reveal that the character is apparently named 'Muffin' now, although her name is never actually used on-screen and the fanbase continues to call her Derpy/Ditzy.</ref>
** Faust, and a few other members of the production teams often around places where fans congregate, paying attention to what people are saying so that they can drop clever references to peoples' mad theories into episodes.
** One of the background ponies with a lyre cutie mark was dubbed "Lyra" by the fans. When the 4th wave of blind bag toys were released, the pony with the same coloration and cutie mark was officially named "Heartstrings". The fans compromised by making "Heartstrings" her surname, and when the 5th wave of blind bag toys rolled around, the character was official referred to as "Lyra Heartstrings".
