==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>
 
==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==
===Previous generations===
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===
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.
 
==In other media=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.
