Well, accordin' to the awesome Krek, she comes from family that's not exactly rich. I think she's a strong, brash mare who's not afraid to tell somepony off.

All I know about her is she takes great joy in feeding and consequently fattening up Lyra.

She's a secret agent, sent to Ponyville by Celestia for a mission that has nothing at all to do with the Elements of Harmony.

She's a bondage fetishist with a fondness for chubby mares, hence the constant fattening of Lyra.

There's a mare who leads a life of danger.
To everyone she meets she stays a stranger.
With every move she makes, another chance she takes.
Odds are she won't live to see tomorrow.

Bon Bon has a large family, likes to write in her dairy and cook, and wants to become a fashion model.

...Oh wait, Friendship is Magic Bon Bon, not My Little Pony Tales Bon Bon...

BonBon. Slightly older than lyra. Sometimes pessimistic, but definitely more family oriented. fiercely loyal to those close to her, to the point of being confrontational when someone causes trouble for them. More often than not, she's content to be quiet and fairly passive, letting Lyra be the - considerably - crazier one in the relationship. Behind closed doors she can get a bit strange with the sexual kinks, though.

Bon-Bon is often portrayed as the most feminine pony when compared to Lyra, both in shipping and non-shipping situations. She enjoys creating confectionary, such as her namesake, and Lyra tends to be the pony who taste-tests Bon-Bon's latest treats.

In contrast to Lyra's eccentric hobbies (usually to do with bipedal creatures that do not exist), Bon-Bon is much more reserved and calm. These traits are often carried over into other fan works and built upon to depict Bonbon as a very caring and compassionate mare to her friends. However, she has also been characterised by fans to be somewhat judgemental of ponies she doesn't know, and also to become impatient of Lyra's antics every so often - probably reflecting Bon-Bon's behavior towards Rarity in the episode "Green Isn't Your Colour".

Interestingly, Bon-Bon is very rarely seen without Lyra being either 'on-screen' or 'off-screen' but involved. These have left Bon-Bon's individual personality and lifestyle untouched: such as what she thinks about herself, what she does alone, and what hobbies other than baking she has.

I read a fic once that suggested that Bonbon likes to spend her time writing erotic fiction about molas.

Okay, why not.

Bon-Bon has a resident of Ponyville since birth. She developed an affinity towards making sweets at an early age, and although Ponyville already had its own confectionery in Sugarcube Corner, she could with good chance count on it that her candy shop will attract more fillies and young ponies than the more traditional business of the Cakes. All of this changed with Pinkie Pie's arrival which made Sugarcube Corner THE designated party spot in town, and these days Bob-Bon's shop has only slightly better traffic than the Ponyville Library.

Her life would take a strange turn though soon. While the Ponyville residents wouldn't pay much attention to her wares, she successfully marketed her business to the ponies from Canterlot and other towns who'd be coming to visit during the Summer Sun Celebration. "The bunch", a girl posse consisting of various background ponies has since taken up Bon-Bon's Sweets & Shakes as their hang-out spot. Even more important, her second cousin Sparkler introduced her to the youthful Lyra, a Canterlot unicorn whose energy captivated Bon-Bon and they'd quickly become best friends, then life patners. Lyra would visit her several times during the next months before moving to Ponyville herself.

Bon-Bon is essentially the straight mare to Lyra's eccentric pony; the pair is like a two-pony act where Lyra plays the reckless fiery modern girl where Bon-Bon is the level headed traditionalist. Sometimes it may seem like Bon-Bon has to put up with a lot on Lyra's part, but Bon-Bon can somewhat high-maintenance about -her- needs, as well. Both like the other very much though, and are usually willing to go with whatever the other suggests.

Recently, Lyra and Bon-Bon have remodelled her old shop as an open-terasse cafe. A filly named Twist got also hired as a part-timer.

^Also, Bon-Bon is an Octavia fan, and Lyra listens to Vinyl Scratch.

(They aren't too fond of Sapphire Shores - she's a bit too mainstream and different fro their usual taste - but they recently attended a concert and had a surprisingly good time.)

When she was younger, Bonbon had her own circle of friends. As she does right now, she did all the cooking back then. It's not known if she still wants to be a model.

So this is the post where we all write out our personal fanon for Bonbon? That's cool, I can do that.

BonBon's confectionry doesn't directly compete with Sugarcube Corner exactly, although she and Mr. Cake DO have a little rivalry going over blueberry scones. This is because where the Corner is more of a general bakery, BonBon focuses on Taffies, candies, and as a counterpoint, teas. Bonbon is very much in her element in rainy days when she can work indoors and listen to the soothing patter outside.

She'd been fairly closeted most of her life despite Ponyville's, ah, reputation, until Lyra moved to Ponyville, and Lyra, being Lyra, didn't make it easy for her to keep up the ruse any further.

Nopony ended up caring one iota, which made her feel embarassed and a little old. Thanks to Lyra, these feelings are usually short-lived these days.

I wasn't writing personal fanon, I was just writing what I perceive to be Bon-Bon's fanon personality and history based on the fandom's interpretations as a whole.

Bon-bon runs a small family owned chocolate shop in Ponyville, where she's lived all her life. She's been friends with Carrot Top since they were mares.

During the events of the pilot, Lyra traveled down to see Ponyville. Lyra, just being a traveling musician and some what eccentric, has no means of traveling back to Canterlot, and Bon-bon offers her a place to stay. They fall in love, with Bon-bon introducing Carrot Top, and I always pictured Derpy being a friend of Lyras.

And that's how the background Mane four were made.
