'''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. |

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.

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. |
