Movie/Show: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Name: Ditzy Doo
Alias: Derpy Hooves
Age: Around 18 (Pony years)
Gender: Female
Height: Around the height of the average pony
Weight: Average
Appearance: She is a gray Pegasus Pony with a blonde mane and tail. Her cutie mark is that of bubbles and her eyes appear to be cross-eyed.
Personality: Although Ditzy can be smart, she can also be quite air-headed at times, almost to the point where her friends look down upon her. Ditzy also loves muffins and as such always tries to find some in Pinkie Pie's shop. As the mail carrier of Ponyville, Ditzy's clumsiness has also caused her to send mail in the wrong directions and sometimes end up destroying the mail completely, although Ditzy shrugs it off and dismisses it, stating that she is somewhat forgetful and also says that she doesn't mean to be clumsy.
History: Ditzy Doo was among many of the Pegasi who helped control the weather, however, her main duty was to be the mail carrier of Ponyville. Throughout her adventures sending the mail to and fro, she would sometimes cause accidents such as, going south instead of west, crashing into buildings when delivering the mail, not opening the mailbox to put the mail in and even at one point accidently dropping things on Twilight Sparkle when she was unloading things with her friends from a mail truck when Twilight had been spying on Pinkie Pie.
Ditzy wasn't feather-brained entirely, in fact, she was pretty smart when she wanted to be, she just had her "Derpy" moments in which had annoyed her friends including Rainbow Dash. Ditzy also seemed to have a daughter named Dinky Doo although Dinky's background is unknown at this point.
Derpy had gotten better at delivering the mail, in fact, she had gotten so good, her boss had her promoted to assistant manager. This had made Derpy very happy and it had changed the way she viewed the world. She still made mistakes from time to time, but only occasionally.
What Changed: After she was promoted, Derpy had a new sense of responsibility and she felt proud of herself, her duties changed her ways of life and how she saw the world.
Family
- Mother: Unknown
- Father: Unknown
- Siblings: Unknown
- Offspring: Dinky Doo (Daughter according to Fan Canon)
Friends: Other Pegasi, including Rainbow Dash.
Enemies: None
Plans: Hopes to deliver the mail to everypony and not screw up this time. She also hopes to offer muffins as part of her services.
Sample Post:
Ditzy flew across the sky as she was on her usual route of delivering mail and, as usual, she was going in the wrong direction. "Bananaaaa....and Muffins," she said to herself.
"Banana Muffins, it's like a banana and a muffin together," Ditzy realized her time was short on delivering mail and she had to hurry, "Uh oh! I better get this mail delivered or else my boss won't be too happy! Nuh-uh! Not one tiny bit!," As Ditzy said this a muffin fell out of her bag, "Oops! I lost a muffin, oh well, I got plenty more where that came from, I guess I'm not a very bright pony Tee-Hee!,"

I know I'm not a staff member, but I really don't think the change that's been made here can really count all that much toward affecting the life of this character. Ditzy Doo is too much of a background character, at least I think so, to really do much with. Besides, Dinky isn't even her daughter in canon. She's just a random background unicorn filly. She's only her daughter in fan canon. So... yeah, I'm not really sure how this is going to work. :/

I can fix her app up a bit, the changes that happen at least.

There, I'm sure her app should be fine now. I mainly wanted to claim Derpy as I thought it would be interesting and fun to expand her character more, rather than just make her a background pony ^^.

I agree with Hiccup, but also, it's not a personality/actions change, it's something that actually happens. I'm pretty sure in the rules or character guidelines I've said that what has changed must be an event of some importance. And Derpy might just be to much of a background character....

I fixed the changes, I hope that worked. I'd really like to play as Derpy, even though she's a background pony. Plus with background characters, it's more exciting to build a personality and story for them and you can go farther with background characters than you can with Canon.

I don't think you grasped what I meant. Something has to change, like something from an important event or at a climax. For example: For me: I made Rapunzel NEVER meet Flynn. And Nightstrike mad Luna run away and become part of the wonderbolts instead of becoming nightmare moon. Both would provide a totally different outcome, but I don't see that with the changes in Derpy's change.

Hmm.....I know, what if I made Derpy win the Flying Competition instead of Rainbow Dash? Could that work?

Ok well, I'm not really sure :/ Since all she basically did was stand there... maybe the mods might have an opinion on this?

I stand by what I said. I think she's too much of a background character to really do anything with here.

Well....maybe you can't think of anything she'll be able to do but I can. I got tons of ideas for Derpy.....if she gets approved that is. Just at least give me a chance to try her out and see what I can do with her, please :/

I just don't think she's suited for this kind of site, especially since there's very little history to work with. She doesn't even get any lines in the show aside from one, and it's only one word. :/ I really don't think there's all that much you can do to change what very little history Ditzy has.

And besides, you guys were just fine with background characters on the other sites, so why not here?! I'm not trying to cause drama, I'm just really disappointed that I can't play as Derpy  |
