Yona

Yona

Yona is an Equestrian yak in the MLP franchise. She is a relative of Prince Rutherford, and a new student for Twilight Sparkle's new school. She is a cheerful but clumsy yak voiced by Katrina Salisbury.

Role in the series

Due to the leaked footage, Yona appeared early in the episode A Yakking Problem in Yakyakistan, where she helps stop Yakotaur and her uncle Prince Yakbrain. Even though she speaks perfect English and displayed intelligence in SAF, she acted like a typical Equestrian yak in the canon show. This would be justifived in Friendship School Masterful that was only so because Hasbro instructed her to act like a typical yak, though Yakbrain had asked her to ONLY do that for the show, off-show she is not allowed to act in that behavior. The non meta reason being yak etiquette.
