===Season 2===

==Characters==
''My Little Pony'' employed a large rotating cast of ensemble characters, though the most recurring of these was probably {{MLP|Megan Williams}}. Other recuring characters included Megan's siblings, {{MLP|Danny Williams}} and {{MLP|Molly Williams}}, and various ponies such as {{MLP|Wind Whister}}, [[Lofty]], {{MLP|Twilight}}, and many more. Most episodes tended to include unique characters who only appeared in their respective stories, these usually took the forms of villains like [[King Charlatan]], {{MLP|Grogar}}, and [[Somnambula (My Little Pony)|Somnambula]] (it should be noted that {{MLP|Tirac}} and [[Catrina]] ''technically'' didn't appear in the show, but in specials), but original heroic characters also appeared quite often, such as [[Scheherazade]], [[Alonzo]], and [[Garth]].
