Derpy is a derp. That much is clear. This was a joke that was much funnier in 2012. Whether you know her as Muffins or Ditzy Doo, she has transcended her meme status to become one of Generation 4s most enduring supporting characters and running jokes. Dumb and sweet is about the best way Derpy can be described, she always tries to be helpful, but rarely succeeds in that regard. She can be frustratingly dim and incompetent at her job as a mail carrier, destructive as a weather worker, and chaotic as a regular citizen but nonetheless is doggedly loyal to her friends and unflinchingly kind and good-natured. Due to her big heart, Derpy has become a beloved fixture of Ponyville and even some of its grumpiest residents consider her a loved one.

Derpy first appeared in "Friendship is Magic", though wouldn't be portrayed as her typical self until "Feeling Pinkie Keen". She was portrayed by Tabitha St. Germain, however, the initial voice she gave the character was controversial as many believed it was insensitive to individuals with down syndrome. She shares her animation model with Sunshower Raindrops.
