Butternut

 is a female Earth pony from Best Gift Ever.

History
Butternut is a gentle, warm, loving mother and friendly mare in general. She treats others very well and obviously loves her husband and son deeply. She appears to have a tired disposition, no doubt due to her hard life as an acorn farmer, but remains in good spirits. After she realized Rarity was the one who mailed her son the Fedora Felt original, she cried tears of joy over how much her son took to the hat, as the whole family knew he found his true calling in life. After Pistachio invited Rarity to lunch, Butternut prepared a meal for the family as they thanked Rarity for her kindness.

On Hearths Warming, she and Oak Nut gave Pistachio a hat made of acorns to show their support for his career path, even though he didn't want to be a farmer like them.
