Meh. I may have had her at one point? I know I saw her at a thrift store with some other G4s and may have bought her, but if I did, I gave her away.

She's also just very strange, No show tie in at all.

I have her and I like her colours. Really weird cutie marks though, her and Sterling. Not sure the significance of it or what it means...?

Wish she didn't have to come with Pinkie Pie though. :P

I have her. Got her in a trade with a friend. I like her springtime colors, just wish her face was different and her tail thicker. I don't understand her symbol, but she's something unique and kinda...G2ish. Her and Sterling both.

On the fence about her. She certainly looks fun and bright, but I don't like her overall color scheme. Maybe if I thrift her I'll keep her.

Want her. The endless amounts of Mane 6 rereleases made it to where I desperately want all the not Mane 6 ponies. :P

Plus she's yellow so that's nice.

Haha I remember seeing her on shelf at the shops and deciding not to get her  cos I thought she was ugly. Looking at her now, she's not bad- her hair colours are real pretty ,just not sure about the clashing pink wings. I think she would look better on a normal size body, not a princess body!

Princess buzz-saw!
Circular saw symbol princess of hardware store!

I have her, and I think she's ok, (yellow Pegasus yes please) but like everybody else who knows even why she got made? Her and sterling are some of g4s biggest mysteries aside from 'why do they only mane 6' when other characters clearly sold ok...that were actually IN the show. Both of these make zero sense at all to even think of making because everyone was clamoring for Luna or Somnabula or even just background characters yet here comes random princess.

I love her symbol.  Haven't come across her yet, but I once found her friend Princess Sterling in a thrift store. Someday!

I don'tunderstand why she exists. She is like a good fakie with that seemingly random symbol and I dislike how her wings are pink. Big pass.

New to me, and I'm with Zaps - she looks so randomly/weirdly patched together that if I came across one second hand I'd surely think she's a fakie... not in the good way, so she's an easy pass. And I'm saying this as someone who mostly likes fakies, and definitely loves yellow ponies.

I had her... but didnt like her and gave her to the daughter of my husbands workmate. She didnt like her either lol. Poor pony!
OK, I laughed out loud on this, and now I feel so guilty and sorry for the poor thing :3

I don't get why people are acting like her being toy only is weird? Hasbro has only been making ponies that are strictly in the toyline forever.

Well, with G4 it's a little different I guess? They focus so much on a concrete canon of the two princesses, alicorns, etc. and how special they are that it's a little weird when they have a alicorn princess with no information on why or a tie in with the show. especially being surrounded by the mane six and other show character toys.

So? They still made toys that were toyline only.

I still have this one and like her she was one of the ones I kept. I just like her name and colors.

Have her, and I'm glad I do! Love the colors, love the larger princess pose in general, and of course a new character was always a welcome sight on the shelves.

Have. Very unique pony, I have to say... I like her well enough. It’s nice to have more alicorns, and REALLY nice to have something other than M6 or the canon princesses...

Let’s see... that makes a total of three “toy-only” G4 alicorns, right? Skyla, Gold Lily, and Sterling.

I have her! I love her!! One of my absolute FAVOURITE G4s. I love the princesses so much!!!

(The only thing I don't love about her and Sterling is that they were both packaged with Yet Another Main Six Re-Release x) but, a small price to pay for pretty new ponies~)

I don't get why so many people are weirded out by her and Sterling's existence, either. :p they're hardly the only toy-only G4s, I don't see why their species should make much of a difference. Who cares if it ~*violates FiM canon*~ for them to be winged unicorns, I love WUs and I want more of them >P

Could've sworn I had a better photo of her, but apparently not :/ I don't get her symbol, either. I like it, though; makes a nice change from all the generic heart/berry symbols that plague G4 :silly:

*squint* What is her cutiemark anyways?

Anyhow, I like how she (and Sterling) sort of break FIM rules with their existence :P
I'm however, not too big on the pink wings. Maybe a gradient would have worked better?

Honestly, I have no idea. There's a good pic of it on the wiki (http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/File:100_6700.JPG)... I've always thought it looked like a cog, personally. :p

And I agree that gradient wings would've looked better. That's like the one part of Gold Lily that I'm not too big on, just feels like another case of Hasbro tacking pink on because "it has to have pink or it won't sell!!" ¬_¬. A yellow/pink gradient would've been so pretty!

I have her. I bought her at ponycon with Euros I had left over from a conference trip to Paris that had literally been the day before, and I hadn't had a chance to change money back so I consider her a freebie pony xD.

I don't really know what to make of her but I like her colours.

She is such a strange G4! With all the other characters from the G4 toyline that are toy-only, like Feathermay, I could see them appearing in the background at some point. Or like Blossomforth, where they DID appear in the background later on. But these two princesses have absolutely no connection to the show at all, and can't exist in the world as it is established in the series. Very strange!

I bought the other princess because her purple wings kinda went with her pink body okay, but I passed on this pony because I couldn't get over pink wings stuck on a yellow body. Like Zapper said, she looks like a high quality fakie. She is the only non-Mane 6 character I don't own, for brushables.

*squint* What is her cutiemark anyways?

I believe it's just two little hearts with a design in a circle around them. Kinda like how each of the CMC's have an icon with a shield around it. But not designed as well.

Yep, the wiki page Carrehz provided had a good picture. It's indeed two hearts with a fancy circles and a weird zigzag circle. Very boring and not at all connected to her name :\

They could have gone for something, you know..., with a lily :P
