Biography[]
Lemon Zest appears in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games as a member of Crystal Prep Academy's sports team, the Shadowbolts. She sits next to Twilight Sparkle on the bus to Canterlot High School for the Friendship Games, sharing her deafeningly loud rock music with Twilight. She dances and mingles with Canterlot High's students during the welcoming party after Pinkie Pie helps lighten the tension between schools, but she returns to her hostile attitude after Principal Cinch (Iris Quinn) intervenes.
Lemon Zest participates in the Friendship Games' first event, the Academic Decathlon, and she is selected as the Shadowbolts' six remaining competitors after reaching the penultimate spelling bee contest. She and Sunny Flare (Britt Irvin) compete in the speed-skating portion of the Tri-Cross Relay, but they lose to Pinkie Pie (Andrea Libman) and Rarity (Tabitha St. Germain) despite catching up to them after the Wondercolts' early lead.
Before the games' final event, Lemon Zest and her team join Principal Cinch in pressuring Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong) into releasing the magic contained in her pendant-like device, intending to use it against Canterlot High. They all watch in horror as the magic instead transforms Twilight into a purple-skinned female demon named Midnight Sparkle, who begins tearing open rifts to Equestria. Having a change of heart, Lemon Zest helps Indigo Zap (Kelly Sheridan) pull Rarity, Fleur Dis Lee, and Velvet Sky from falling through a giant rift in the ground. After Twilight returns to normal, Lemon Zest and her team turn against Principal Cinch for causing Twilight's demonic transformation, and they celebrate their shared victory with the Wondercolts. She chats with DJ Pon-3 before the Crystal Prep students leave.
