Season 4[]
Pommel is employed by Suri Polomare as her assistant during the episode Rarity Takes Manehattan and accompanies her during Manehattan's Fashion Week. She is responsible for making the dresses; after Polomare copies Rarity's designs and her fabric, she tasks Pommel with making the dresses.
Pommel is depicted as a soft-spoken and somewhat shy pony. She is routinely put down by Polomare, especially when she remarks that Pommel almost got her disqualified when remaking her dresses with Rarity's fabric - Pommel defends herself stating she was simply trying to make sure Polomare would win. Throughout the episode, she unwillingly backs up Polomare's comments and lies towards Rarity and her friends.
Pommel appears near the end of the episode and presents Rarity with her trophy from Fashion Week. She explains that Polomare lied to Rarity and her friends about her losing in the hope that she would win by default should Rarity’s absence be counted as a forfeit. She also says that working with Polomare for so long gave her the impression that it really is everypony for herself in Manehattan. However, after seeing the generosity Rarity showed to her friends and the generosity they reciprocated, she realized that there is more for her out there, so she quit her job as Polomare's assistant. She then presents Rarity with a small gift of a spool of rainbow-colored thread as a thank you.
Rarity offers Pommel a job with her friend to make all the costumes for his next show, to which Pommel exhibits a subtle excitement. She is last seen waving her new friends goodbye at the Manehattan train station.
