Zipp Storm

Zipp, an athletic pony, is rebellious and full of character. But she is also credited with a passion for science, revealing a more traditional intellectual side. [ 3 ] Her curiosity and inquisitiveness serve her well in her work as a detective in Maretime Bay.

Zipp has a sense of fairness and encourages ponies to be true to themselves, exemplified by his reluctance to maintain the charade that the royal family can fly in My Little Pony: A New Generation.

Before magic returned, Zipp spent his free time practicing his athletic skills in the mountains, emulating the sensation of flight. This greatly improves his flying abilities once his magic is restored. He has devoted himself almost entirely to research since the "Make Your Mark" special.

Although Zipp comes across as gruff and can have a short temper, she is a kind, caring, and understanding pony. She shows compassion for Sunny and Izzy when they are both locked in the dungeon, returning Sunny's journal and breaking them out of their cell. She also invites Hitch to join them around the campfire that night before they go to Bridlewood, despite him having been hostile towards her shortly before. At the Manesquerade Ball, she assures Misty that they will still be friends, even though she doesn't have a cutie mark, and tells the shocked unicorn that she is always welcome at the House of Sparkly Glass.

Zipp is a lanky, white-coated Pegasus mare with turquoise eyes and short eyelashes, hot pink eyebrows, silver hooves, and a hot pink gelled mane and tail with aquamarine and light pink streaks. Her cutie mark consists of a hot pink and aquamarine lightning bolt with a yellow crown on top. Befitting her pony type, Zipp has a pair of large, feathered wings with a gradient of different shades of blue, purple, and hot pink. Unlike her mother and sister, Zipp does not wear a crown or golden headpiece, perhaps to emphasize her "rebel princess" demeanor.

Zipp, his mother, Queen Haven, and his sister, Pipp, officially meet Sunny and Izzy in the Zephyr Heights throne room. Zipp seems unconcerned until Izzy greets her, but Zipp shakes his head, reminding them to keep quiet about their encounter in the canyon. When Sunny and Izzy are thrown into the dungeon, Zipp sadly looks at them as he leaves the room. Zipp visits Sunny and Izzy in the dungeon, curious about magic. She is surprised to discover that unicorns have lost their magic and returns Sunny's confiscated journal, commenting that the cover star interests her. When Pipp enters the dungeon to search for content for her social media, Zipp is scolded for being in the dungeon against her mother's will. Zipp seems tired of her sister's attitude when she explains that only real pegasi can fly. She rolls her eyes as Pipp leaves for the dress rehearsal. She then opens the dungeon door and beckons Sunny and Izzy to follow her. Zipp leads them to an abandoned balloon station, a relic from when all kinds of ponies used to visit. She looks thoughtfully at an old Wonderbolts poster until Sunny mentions that it must be strange to be one of the few pegasi who actually fly. Zipp reveals that the royals have been faking it with wires. Zipp is tired and frustrated of living the lie, so she arrives at the station, now filled with Zipp's attempts at flight. She shows off one of her attempts, a large fan, which can suspend her in the air. She glides down and shows Sunny an old stained-glass window depicting a pegasus, a unicorn, and the pegasus crystal, which she explains is part of Queen Haven's crown. When Sunny decides that the pegasus and unicorn crystals must be reunited, Zipp explains that getting the pegasus crystal from the Queen will be difficult. He comes up with a plan to steal Queen Haven's crown during Pipp's concert that night.

The plan is set in motion. Zipp gathers materials to make a fake crown and lets Sunny and Izzy into the great hall. Before the concert, Zipp is shocked that Pipp told Queen Haven that she was talking to the prisoners. Zipp admits that unicorns also don't have magic, and he believes it could be related to their lack of flight. Haven interrupts her and tries to dissuade her from changing the status quo and admitting the lie. Zipp, fed up with her mother, glares at her as she is lowered into the hall. During the concert, Zipp is delighted to see Sunny steal Haven's crown, but soon notices that Cloudpuff has retrieved the crystal. She tries to grab it from her mouth, but Cloudpuff runs off, and Zipp follows. He manages to snatch the crystal just as everyone's attention turns to Pipp's failing wire, and leaves with Sunny and Izzy. Zipp sees Pipp suspended in the air, under the gaze of the press and the public, and stares at her with concern until Sunny urges her to leave. In the alleys outside Zephyr Heights, Zipp chats for a while with Hitch, who has joined the group. Zipp learns that news has spread and that Queen Haven is under arrest, with warrants out for Zipp and Pipp. Sunny realizes she has lost the crystal, and the ponies desperately consider returning to the great hall to look for it. Pipp, furious, demands an explanation for the ruined concert as she presents the pegasus crystal. Zipp is thrilled, but Pipp chides her for revealing the lie and leaving her hanging. She convinces Pipp to help them restore the magic.

Zipp is part of the collective for a time, traveling to Izzy's cabin and obtaining a unicorn costume. He is initially hesitant about the idea of a makeover, but agrees to the plan. At Bridlewood, Zipp responds to Izzy's antics with the crystals by asking if she knows they only need one. Later, he also asks for context on the "Bing Bong" ritual. After this, he rejoins the collective. After fleeing the Crystal Tea Room, Zipp and Pipp are found by Queen Haven. She observes her curiously at her insistence that they can "make up the story" to regain the citizens' favor. Disappointed to see the crystals fail, she non-jokingly bids Hitch farewell as she returns to Maretime Bay with Sunny. She later returns with Sunny to Maretime Bay, insisting that she did not want to be separated from her new friends. She and Hitch split off from the group to try and stop Sprout's robot. Zipp helps him unhook one of the robot's splat-a-paults, but it flies off, nearly hitting Sunny and Izzy. She is eventually thrown from the robot as Sprout crashes into the lighthouse for the final time. Once the lighthouse collapses and everyone recovers, Zipp and his new friends listen to Sunny's speech about friendship. They watch in amazement as Sunny transforms and the magic spreads. When the magic is restored, she excitedly flies off with Pipp as the sisters praise Sunny's new appearance. Zipp poses with some earth ponies and unicorns for a photo. He celebrates one last heart-to-heart with his sister and his new friends.

Zipp and Pipp move into the Sparkly Glass House with their friends and struggle to adjust. In "Foal Me Once", Zipp helps Hitch with the missing property case, and he regains his sanity. In "The Game Is a Hoof" and "Making a Foal of Me", Zipp continues to practice his detective skills, which improve over time. In "Queen for a Day", Zipp and the Five friends discover how much work Queen Haven constantly takes on.

In Zipp's Yes Day, Zipp is surprised at how much fun he has saying yes. In Pony Partay, Zipp builds a skate park for Sunny's birthday party. In Filly Filling, Zipp comments on how Pipp always asks her social media fans for help, though he regrets it after discovering his sister had been trapped in a pumpkin pie and refrains from asking for help for most of the episode. In Making a Meal of It, Zipp and Pipp are relieved to discover that their mother doesn't mind if holiday traditions go off plan as long as they get to spend them with their favorite ponies. In Taking Flight, Zipp works together with Izzy to build Mare Stream.

In Secret Ad-mare-er, Zipp tries to grow a Venus flytrap and then shares some wise words with Izzy. In The Hunt for Eggmund the Bunny, Zipp and Hitch search for Eggmund the Bunny together, and she helps the two fathers understand the challenges of parenting. In Mission Impossible, Zipp helps Sunny train her flying skills. In Mare Trouble, Zipp and Pipp are upset that Queen Haven includes Alphabittle in her plans, but seeing how disappointed his mother is in them, they make peace with the older stallion and enjoy a picnic together.

In As the Misty Clears, Zipp questions Misty about her necklace and, out of curiosity, takes it after its owner leaves it on a rock. Under the necklace's influence, Zipp proudly makes her role as heir to the Zephyr Heights throne known. In Hot Day, Huh?, Zipp unsuccessfully attempts to convince the ponies of Maretime Bay that it is an excellent day to go to the beach; however, Misty helps her pull it off in the end. In Moon Festival, Zipp uses her investigative skills to discover that the moon is overloading magic, and after she and the Mane 6 fix the problem, she watches the Zephyr Heights Aerobats with a mixture of awe and envy.

In Lavarynth, Zipp completes the first puzzle, corresponding to her element, using her athletic flying skills. In Crystal Ball, Zipp is not very happy about the eponymous dance, but jokes around a bit with Hitch after being told she would find Sparky, and the fortune teller got it right. Ultimately, she thoroughly enjoys the rest of the dance. In Equestria's Got Talent, she plays Santa Hooves (official name unrevealed), carrying a sack of presents and preparing to climb down a chimney.
