Sweetie Drops

Sweetie Drops, alias name Bon-Bon, is an Earth pony from Equestria who is one of the show's main background ponies. She is best friends with Lyra Heartstrings and she has been around for some time. In 'Slice of Life', she reveals that 'Bon-Bon' was just a cover name because she used to work for an anti-monster agency in Canterlot who brought the Bug-Bear into Tartarus. Yet since it escaped, the agency had to be disbanded and all agents had to spread out for protection. Though this does cause a fracture in her relationship with Lyra, they are able to make amends with Lyra admitting one of her secrets.

Role in the series
Sweetie will soon be chosen to wield one of the Alicorns weapons known as the Elements of Peace, and she will represent Tolerance not just for the fact that she tolerates anything weird that Lyra does, including her odd obsession with humans, but because she can tolerate when Lyra accidentally reveals her secret identity to Doctor Whooves. She shall also give more insight in her secret career and explain how the agency she worked for had constantly foiled the plots of a Tartarus beast named Snakemantis, who actually created the Bug-Bear and three other similar monsters to terrorize Equestria.
