Bon Bon, also known as Sweetie Drops
History
Personality
Bon Bon is generally a good-humored, laughing at all the misfortunes that come her way, several of which come from her romantic partner, Lyra Heartstrings, who she tries to be the 'voice of reason' for, contrasting a more grounded personality to Lyra's more enthusiastic one.[2] She was patient and agreeable, working well with others.[3] Despite this, in many of her early interactions with the Mane Six or related ponies, she was rather nasty, irritable and quick-tempered.
Relationships
Bon Bon is good friends with Derpy and Berryshine.[4]
Behind the scenes
Naming
Sweetie Drops remained unnamed in the television show until season 5's "Slice of Life", however the name "Bon Bon" and "Sweetie Drops" were used interchangeably in toys and merchandise. Notably, "Sweetie Drops" tended to be used more often in more general releases, while "Bon Bon" was used in more 'specific' products aimed at the fandom, such as trading cards rather than broad consumers.
Generational legacy

Notes
- Lyra and Bon Bon were once described as "roommates" on a trading card. In lesbian/women-who-love-women culture, calling a couple "roommates" is often used as a way to conceal the fact that they are in a same-sex relationship. Whether or not this was used intentionally as a nod to the ship or not has yet to be confirmed.
