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]].
