Derpy is Pegasus residing in Ponyville. She is depicted as being ditzy, clumsy, and accident prone, though eager to help others. She usually appears in background scenes, but is sometimes seen in short gags, with most revolving around her clumsiness or ditziness.
Derpy was introduced as an unnamed pony, appearing as filler in crowd shots and background scenes. Infamously, she appeared in the pilot episode, where she was depicted with crossed eyes as a gag by an animator. This appearance resulted in a great deal of popularity with fans, who gave her the nickname Derpy, due to her eyes. As a result of her popularity, Derpy, became more heavily featured in gags, with crossed eyes becoming a feature of the character. Derpy was officially named by Hasbro, in the episode "The Last Roundup", where she was referred to as Derpy and given a short speaking role. However, controversy over her depiction led to a voice change and her name being edited out of the scene.
