They’re adorable as mares as well.

OMFG they are so adorable as fillies.

Do a barrel roll!

Oh, and back on topic, this just gave me diabetes.

Oh.

This has been gone over so many times now it’s getting stale, so please pay attention.
 
The purple Pegasus pony with the awesome icy blue/white ‘80s mall mane is Cloudchaser. She’s Cloudchaser in the cartoon (Rainbow Dash called her Cloudchaser by name in “Hurricane Fluttershy”), in the trading cards, and in the game cards.
 
In the “Elements of Harmony” series guidebook, her picture is captioned as Stormwalker, (>>335590) a name that has never been used in any other media. The reason why has been explained by Nayuki (>>336617).
 
When “Hurricane Fluttershy” was scripted, there were to be a lot of new Pegasus ponies introduced: Cloudchaser, Flitter, Thunderlane, Rumble, Blossomforth, …and Stormwalker. However, Stormwalker’s scenes were all cut from the script before they were even storyboarded. But by that time, the character model for Stormwalker had already been designed, whereas Cloudchaser had not yet been designed. (Nayuki did not say this, but I speculate that since her design is essentially identical to Cloud Kicker, aside from the mane and eyeshadow, and most of the time the cutie mark, they designed Stormwalker first because most of the Flash objects already existed; they just had to be copied over to a new name. That would also explain why Cloudchaser’s shooting star cutie mark sometimes reverts to Cloud Kicker’s sun and cloud: Stormwalker wasn’t actually completely designed when her scenes were cut and work on her design ceased, and a few frames of her animation library files were still unedited copies of Cloud Kicker’s body parts.) Since they already had a designed pony (and were probably unaware of the remaining cutie mark glitch), rather than discard the Stormwalker model they would now never use, it was instead used for Cloudchaser.
 
Once used in an aired episode, that model was now Cloudchaser. Period. However, the Flash models consist of hundreds if not thousands of files of posed body parts, so they never changed the names of the files. Everyone involved with making the show knows if you want to put the character named Cloudchaser in a scene, you use the model files named Stormwalker. But the folks who produced the book did not know that, and captioned the character the same way they captioned all the other characters, by the design file name. (It’s worth pointing out that the book also names Ms. Peachbottom “Crystal Empire Tourist.” The book’s name captions are not canon to the show, they generally only reflect design files, aside from a few very popular fanon names they settled on, like Lyra Heartstrings, Manny Roar, and Steven Magnet.) It’s a wonderful reference book and remarkably complete. But like any encyclopedic work, its sheer size means it inevitably has errata that weren’t caught.

This is also super, super cute!

I noticed this right away! I just have no idea how to make gifs, or I would.

Sorry OP, I have a habit of doing that…

@Cosmonaut  
facepalm It’s been a while since I watched that episode.

>her fanon name  
Rainbow Dash referred to both the twins by their names in Hurricane Shy.

And even as a filly, Cloudchaser still had that freaking awesome mane.

@RaineV1  
Check the link in Vree’s comment above. The images there explain everything.

stretch those glutes, flitter!

Haha, cute! I didn’t notice them in the ep’!

@Evowizard25  
Cloudchaser was used in the cartoon. Honestly, I have no idea where Stormwalker even came from.

@Bhazor  
Damn ninjas.

How come no one noticed this earlier?

Totally stealing Scootaloo’s moves.
