History
Bon Bon grew up in Ponyville[4], and may have been an only-child or had a brother, as she implied she had no sisters.[5] As an adult Bon Bon lived in 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 unicorn named Lyra Heartstrings. After years of love, the two got married and lived happily for the decades to come.[6]
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 British comics.
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 Patch who was adopted, and Melody who lived with her single mother.
She had a 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.
