'''Bon Bon''', real name '''Sweetie Drops''', was a {{FIM|Earth Pony}} [[mare]] who resided in [[Ponyville]], [[Equestria]]. She worked as a secret agent for [[S.M.I.L.E.]] and went on many adventures with her wife, {{FIM|Lyra Heartstrings}}. As a civilian, she worked as a candy maker and seller.

==History==
Bon Bon grew up in Ponyville<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Pinkie Pride}}</ref>, and may have been an only-child or had a brother, as she implied she had no sisters.<ref>''[[Cutie Mark Deuxsaders]]''</ref> As an adult Bon Bon lived in [[Bon Bon's House|a house]] in Ponyville, and worked at [[Sweetie Drops Candies]], a candy shop that she presumably founded. Sometime, likely after Twilight moved to Ponyville, Bon Bon met, befriended, and later formed a romantic relationship with a {{FIM|unicorn}} named {{FIM|Lyra Heartstrings}}. After years of love, the two got married and lived happily for the decades to come.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Last Problem}}</ref>
===Early life===
Bon Bon grew up in Ponyville<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Pinkie Pride}}</ref>, and may have been an only-child or had a brother, as she implied she had no sisters.<ref>''[[Cutie Mark Deuxsaders]]''</ref>
 
===Adulthood===
Bon Bon lived in [[Bon Bon's House|a house]] in Ponyville, and worked at [[Sweetie Drops Candies]], a candy shop that she presumably founded. Sometime, likely after Twilight moved to Ponyville, Bon Bon met, befriended, and later formed a romantic relationship with a {{FIM|unicorn}} named {{FIM|Lyra Heartstrings}}. After years of love, the two got married and lived happily for the decades to come.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Last Problem}}</ref>
 
==Personality==
Bon Bon has been shown to be both kind and nasty, often with either a short temper or rude personality. She has mellowed out considerably, roughly corresponding when she meant the much more friendly Lyra. As a monster hunter, Bon Bon is generally brave, daring, and heroic. She has civilian interests as well, such as geology and cooking.
 
==Behind the scenes==
Line 140 ⟶ 47:
Bon Bon is a multi-generation character who first debuted in [[Generation 1]] as a member of the [[Seven Pony Friends]] characters and toy set. She was a main character of ''[[My Little Pony Tales]]'' and was the host of ''[[Bon Bon's Diary]]'', a feature in the ''[[My Little Pony Comic Book]]'' line of [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Comics (real world)|comics]].
 
===Portrayal===
Within her initial appearance, Bon Bon was characterized as being an avid cook and fan of sweets, often eating cakes and donuts, but was also sensitive and kind. She was a middle child, with several younger and one or two older siblings (only one older sibling is shown, but some tertiary sources implied she had two). Bon Bon was among the only one in her group of friends who had a "traditional" nuclear family life, living with her biological parents and siblings, whereas her friends sometimes had more nontraditional home-lives, such as {{Tales|Patch}} who was adopted, and {{Tales|Melody}} who lived with her single mother.
Since Bon Bon was a generic background character, given very little agency and characterization until "[[Slice of Life]]", there was no consistent voice for Bon Bon. As such, she went through two actors, [[Tabitha St. Germain]] and [[Ashleigh Ball]] before [[Andrea Libman]] was finally chosen for the part. [[Chantal Strand]] provided a '{{W|walla}}' for a crowd shot that Bon Bon was present in.
 
She had a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] counterpart named [[Candy Pony]].
 
===Naming===
Bon Bon's true name is '''Sweetie Drops''', but was named '''Bon Bon''' in pieces of merchandise, for example, the ''[[Bon Bon, Candy Expert]]'' trading card, and several others, however, other merchandise also named her as Sweetie Drops. Later stories would reconcile this inconsistency by making her a secret agent, with Bon Bon as her undercover name.
