Ditzy to Derpy
Hello everypony! My name is TwilightSparkle, although I'm sure you all knew that already. Today I'm here to discuss with you a rather interesting topic and to get right to it! I heard recently about much talk a particular Pegasus pony who wasn't RainbowDash for once. That Derpy expression, those clumsy Hooves, yes this presentation is about… Fluttershy!
I'm kidding I'm kidding, this is about the pony Ditzy doo, or more so Derpy Hooves. I was told that her popularly recently skyrocketed, so Celestia gave me the task of showing research of her "for all the bronies." I'm not sure what she means by that, but hey, it's something I have time to do!
Now, let's get started. Let's start on how she became derped. When I first entered the Ponyville library, Pinkie pie gave me an, unexpected surprise party. How she managed to round up all those ponies that quickly into one place still confuses me today, but she's Pinkie. You know I'd like to try to do research on her, but last time I did that it didn't end well…
Oh, I'm sorry! I got completely off topic!! Anyway, at the party there was this grey Pegasus with the Derpy expression. What happened is that she had a mild, really mild case of serious brain damage. Okay not really, she had a bit of a "lazy eye," causing it to wander to the opposite of the other. It caused her disorientation at times and made her...well, derped.
It was a mild case at first and rarely lasted for more than an hour at longest. As days passed however her disorder lasted for much longer. From an hour to periods of the day, till eventually it became permanent. She gained some nicknames such as Stoneface, Bubbles, Bubblehead, and some still called her by her first name, Ditzy. Most ponies however started to call her Derpy Hooves, obviously; and she became so used to it that one day she had her name legally changed to that title.
Now that we have that part done, do you know the muffin mare? Oh You DO, do you? The one who live in pony lane? Well, it's time to discuss this highly.
When Applejack "helped" PinkiePie make muffins, aka the famous "baked bads," Derpy, still Ditzy at the time, became famous for saying that line, "MUFFIN!!" But…what I am about to tell you will shock everypony.
Ditzy doo WAS NOT the pony who said muffin! I kid you not, exceedingly close observation reveals that it was instead a unicorn in the front row, Colgate I think it was. Pinkie pie told me that little fun fact, interesting I guess. Here, see for yourself! You'll see it eventually, i think.
You may be thinking, "Oh, so Ditzy/Derpy never was the muffin loving mare?! MY LIFE IS A LIE!" Well, not so. You see, Ditzy was always happy to get pastries from Sugercube corner. However, when she saw all the ponies around blowing chucks after their meal, Ditzy wisely decided not to eat the mush- muffin.
Instead, she decided that she wanted to try to make a better muffin, but she needed money to do so, not to mention her daughter Dinky doo.
Speaking of Dinky Doo, she is the Unicorn filly of Derpy. No one really knows who the father was. Many say it was most likely a unicorn, but given pony genetics, it's impossible to tell. Derpy takes care of her daughter the best she can, though she does sometimes still mix up her lunch with her homework sometimes.
So anyway, after the muffin incident, Ditzy doo soon got a job as a mail mare to raise money; though she might have had that job even before this. However, her eye was starting to become more disorderly, and thus…
well let's just say that wasn't a happy day for me or my head.
Assuming by how I often see Derpy hooves in a muffin train, I guess she retired to the muffin business, though she might still be a mail mare at weekends or other days.
There are many theories how she got her cutie mark. Some say due to her clumsiness with packages she invented bubble wrap. I think that she used to play a lot with bubbles as she was a kid. But who knows…oh right, I should. Well, sorry, but I don't know that much…hehehh… research is still being made...for the most part. There are many ways one can get a cutie mark after all.
Well, anyway, that's my summary of Derpy hooves in a muffin shell. Well that didn't take to long. Well, thank you for reading everypony, and I hope to see you again…dispite the fact I don't see you at all.
Sencerily,
~Twilight Sparkle
