Raspberry Beret (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)

Raspberry Beret is a character appearing in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is part of the group called the Method Mares, a Manehattan theater troupe.

Depiction in the series
She first appears in Made in Manehattan as a member of the Method Mares, who are a troupe of performance actors. Coco Pommel books the troupe to give a guest performance at the Midsummer Theater Revival, but due to her overwhelming workload and lack of volunteers, she struggles with organizing everything. Applejack and Rarity lend their services to Coco, but they become equally overwhelmed.

When the Method Mares arrive for their costume fitting and rehearsal, Raspberry Beret is nearly injured when the dilapidated stage collapses.

Unable to put on the big show they had originally planned, Applejack, Rarity, and Coco organize a smaller performance on a smaller stage, and the Method Mares put on a play about Revival founder Charity Kindheart. In the play, Raspberry Beret plays the part of Charity Kindheart, Stardom plays her friend Mrs. Pearblossom, and On Stage and Late Show play bit roles.

The Method Mares' performance attracts the attention of numerous Bronclyn neighborhood ponies and turns out to be a huge success.

In the season eight episode Horse Play, On Stage and Raspberry Beret have speaking roles as Princess Celestia's acting coaches. All four Method Mares appear in the audience during Twilight Sparkle's play.
