Behind the scenes
Sexuality and origin
"Sappho" is most likely derived from Sappho of Lesbos who is considered a symbol of lesbian relationships. Sappho is an original character created by Jenn Blake who has added the character in official My Little Pony comics, such as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon and pieces of artwork used in My Little Pony Art Gallery, thus making her a canon character. In addition, several pieces of artwork produced of her by Jenn Blake depicts her as being in a same-sex relationship with Rarity. Such artwork can be found on Jenn Blake's Deviantart account
