Buttons (Twice as Fancy)

Buttons was the unicorn pony in the second set of Twice of Fancy ponies. She was sold in North America and in the Benelux countries, but she was not sold in the UK. Unlike Milky Way, the Twice As Fancy/Party Pony from the first set, she did not have a stripe of colour in her hair. Her hair is intentionally curly. Her theme was buttons and bows, and some people online call her by this moniker to differentiate her from the So Soft and Movie Star Buttons. Yes, Buttons is a repeated name.

Buttons' Character

Buttons's backcard story is more decorative than magical. But it also escalates quickly, from decorating dresses to decorating the whole of Dream Valley in buttons, including the clouds. Her friends were actually quite pleased with her efforts - which is probably a good thing, since it likely took a long time to clean up. But, on the positive, it wasn't turning raindrops into things not made of water.
