'''Caramel ''' was an {{FIM|Earth Pony|Earth}} {{FIM|pony}} [[stallion]] from [[Equestria]]. The boyfriend of [[Sassaflash]] and a [[rodeo clown]] at [[Appleoosa]], Caramel was a busy and generally friendly pony who always appeared to be doing something, though that something wasn't always productive. Unlike most of the residents of Ponyville, Caramel was not spotted in the [[Final Battle of Equestria]], and so his contributions, if any, were not known.
==History==
Caramel went to high school at [[Canterlot Academy]] in [[Canterlot]], as was fairly common for [[Ponyville]] residents, and was a [[Junior]] in [[1987]].<ref>{{C|FIM|11}}</ref>
Caramel was among the ponies [[King Sombra]] mind-controlled in his [[Conquest of Canterlot]].<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Beginning of the End}}</ref> His final known escapade was performing in the [[Appleoosa County Fair]] as a rodeo clown.<ref name = "GROW"/>
Caramel, like his good friend Clover, worked in the [[sports industry]], though while Clover was a [[referee]], Caramel worked as a [[rodeo clown]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Last Roundup}}</ref><ref>{{CAR|FIM|Appleoosa's Most Wanted}}</ref><ref>{{CAR|FIM|Growing Up is Hard to Do}}</ref> In general, Caramel was a sports enthusiast, in particular enjoying [[baseball]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Fault In Our Marks}}</ref>, [[racing]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Cart Before the Ponies}}</ref>, [[flying]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Parental Glideance}}</ref><ref>and especially [[buckball]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|2, 4, 6, Greaaat}}</ref>, going as far as to go to the [[Buckball Museum]] on its opening day<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Common Ground}}</ref> Aside from sports, Caramel occasionally operated a [[Caramel's booth|booth]] where he sold bread.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Perfect Pear}}</ref>▼
==Personal life==
In his adult life, Caramel apparently lived near {{FIM|Rarity}} and [[Clover]], as Clover referred to them as his neighbors.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Best Night Ever}}</ref> The stallion was the boyfriend of [[Sassaflash]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Hearts and Hooves Day}}</ref> and though the two got into a horrible argument later in their relationship<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Magical Mystery Cure}}</ref>, they seemed to reconcile and stayed together much later.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Gift of the Maud Pie}}</ref><ref name = "MAUD">{{CAR|FIM|The Maud Couple}}</ref>
Caramel has many non-romantic relationships as well, and appears to be particularly close with [[Berry Punch]]<ref name = "WWU">{{CAR|FIM|Winter Wrap Up}}</ref>, [[Cherry Berry]]<ref name = "MAUD"/><ref>{{CAR|FIM|Tanks for the Memories}}</ref>, Clover, and [[Shoeshine]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|No Second Prances}}</ref>, as he was often spotted in their company. The stallion also appeared to have some sort of relationship with [[Mint Flower]], as he was her guardian figure in [[Market Street]]<ref>{{CAR|FIM|It Isn't The Mane Thing About You}}</ref> Caramel was housemates with [[Coco Crusoe]], who also appeared to be friends with Sassaflash.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows}}</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
===Portrayal===
Caramel has only spoken in two episodes, and in both appearances, he was given different voice actors. In "[[The Best Night Ever]]", he was portrayed by [[Brian Drummond]], and in "[[The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", he was voiced by [[Peter New]], fitting as Caramel originated as a {{FIM|Big McIntosh}} recolor.
===
For some reason, Caramel is a very mysterious character with a number of odd occurrences surrounding them.
====Transgender theory====
{{Main|Transgender pony mystery}}
[[File:S1E21 Toffee.png|thumb|200px|[[Toffee]], the pony rumored to be post-transition Caramel]]
In [[May]] [[2016]], [[Lauren Faust]] made a series of joke tweets about her involvement in ''[[My Little Pony]]'', including one that stated that a [[Friendship is Magic season 1|season 1]] character was transgender. She later rectified her statement by saying that, although her other tweets were jokes, she was serious about the transgender character. This lead the [[Brony|fandom]] to speculate who the transgender pony was, with Caramel being among the primary candidates. The theory states that the character Toffee isn't actually another pony entirely, but Caramel post-transition, making him a MTF transgender pony.<ref>[https://www.equestriadaily.com/2016/03/who-do-you-think-trans-pony-in-season.html Equestria Daily - "Who Do You Think the Transgender Pony in Season One Was?"]</ref>
However, this theory has issues. The most obvious one being that Caramel has appeared as a stallion in every later appearance, which means if Toffee was him, then he de-transitioned later, however, more importantly, Caramel appeared in the episode alongside Toffee, meaning Toffee was likely just a random character made up using the same assets of Caramel. From a production point of view, this theory also doesn't make sense, as background characters didn't really end up becoming their own characters until after Faust' run on the show, meaning that it was highly unlikely that Caramel was intended to have been the shows trans rep.
As of [[2020]], the mystery has not been answered, but the fandom has gravitated towards {{FIM|Trixie Lulamoon}} as the most likely candidate and thus, several pieces of Trixie with transgender pride iconography has been drawn.
====Chance-a-Lot and "Teddy"====
[[File:EQG_Teddy.png|thumb|270px|[[Teddy (CHS student)|"Teddy"]]]]
In some pieces of merchandise, Caramel is named "Chance-a-Lot", while this is not unusual as several minor characters have multiple names, what makes this more notable is a character by the name of {{EQG|Chance-a-Lot}} has appeared in the novelization of ''[[My Little Pony: Equestria Girls]]'' and fulfilled a similar role as a minor, nameless football player who has been dubbed [[Teddy (CHS student)|Teddy]] by fans. Both have somewhat similar designs, but was confirmed to be a coincidence by an artist at [[DHX]].<ref>[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/d/d4/Nayuki_on_EG_BG_character_designs.png Layout artist - AllSpark Forums]</ref>
====M.Caramel====
{{Main|M. Caramel}}
A female character named "M.Caramel" was mentioned on a scoreboard in "[[Getting Seconds]]". She did poorly in a [[Long jump]] competition, and that's all we know from her.
