Zecora is the rhyming zebra who lives out in the depths of the Everfree forest. She's an expert on medicines and potions, which can come in handy to Ponyville civillians and others.

In her first introduction to the show in "Bridle Gossip", everypony in Ponyville rejects her and doesn't dare to come near her when she visited, as she was much differenet.When Apple Bloom follows Zecora, they discover that Zecora was no threat, and that they were wrong to be so quick to judge her so harshly.

Zecora is always wearing 5 golden rings around her neck, golen rings in her ears and 5 golden rings around her foreleg.
