Depiction in a new generation

In My Little Pony: A New Generation, Zipp first appears doing parkour and stunts on the mountains outside Zephyr Heights. She runs into Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow, surprised to see an Earth pony and unicorn traveling together. When Zipp sees a pair of royal guards approaching, she quickly runs away.

In the hour-long special My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, Zipp notices strange occurrences surrounding the ponies' magic and investigates their cause, while simultaneously struggling to deal with her mother's pressures for her to return to Zephyr Heights and embrace her royal duties. She eventually discovers that magic is glitching due to increasing tensions between the pony races, and she and her friends work to include unicorns and Pegasi in the Earth pony festival of Maretime Bay Day. When tensions lead to magic going haywire, Zipp and the others help to save their fellow ponies. After the problem is resolved, Zipp plucks up the courage to tell Queen Haven that she wants to stay in Maretime Bay and further investigate the mysteries of magic. Haven accepts her daughter's choice, and Zipp becomes a detective in the special's final scene. In Izzy Does It, Zipp takes note of all the magical happenings in her friends' lives. She also notes the magical compact Pipp supposedly "gifted" Sunny and seemingly forgot about. In Growing Pains, Zipp joins Hitch and Sunny in Hitch's appraisal of Earth pony magic. She also joins Sunny in protesting Hitch wanting to remove the Earth pony Unity Crystal, and she is present when a hologram of Twilight Sparkle is projected by the crystal, warning them of a dire threat. When the Mane 5 create a tree by uniting their magic, Zipp notes that the tree's flowers look strangely familiar to her. In Portrait of a Princess, Zipp, eager to escape the preparations for the royal portrait day, talks Pipp into sneaking away to find a special flower. After getting trapped in a cave, the two argue over Pipp's drawing attention to each other and Zipp's lie. Realizing how much Pipp was looking forward to Portrait Day, Zipp sings the song they sang together as fillies. The two reconcile, escape with the help of Pipp's fans, and arrive in time for the painting. In Ali-Conned, Zipp helps cheer Sunny up after she finds out no one cares about her causes.

Personality

Zipp is a fearless and independent thrill-seeker. Defiant of her royal lineage and responsibilities, she prefers to engage in athletic and high-flying activities like parkour, even though she is initially unable to fly. Like Sunny, Zipp wants magic to return to Equestria so that Pegasi can fly like they were originally able to, and she is even willing to defy her mother and work together with Earth ponies and unicorns to make it happen. Zipp's research into and knowledge of Equestria's distant past, coupled with equations she uses for flight theory, suggests she also has an intellectual side. She also demonstrates a tendency to be snarky and sarcastic. Zipp's mother Queen Haven's expectations of her as the heiress to the Zephyr Heights throne causes them to have a somewhat strained relationship, but she is very close with her sister Pipp. Zipp is far more humble than her mother or sister, insisting to Sunny and Izzy that they call her by her name rather than use her royal title. In the Make Your Mark special, Zipp struggles with being heir to the throne of Zephyr Heights, and has trouble deciding what she really wants to do with her life. In the series itself, she dedicates herself to her newfound detective position, relishing in any chance to undergo investigations, and often using her phone to take notes. In the Tell Your Tale shorts Zipp Gets Her Wings and Sisters Take Flight, Zipp is shown to be uncomfortable when placed in the spotlight. In Welcome to Mane Melody, she dislikes the idea of having her mane styled – though she allows Pipp to style it by the end of the short. She also demonstrates a passion for extreme sports in The Unboxing of Izzy, Alicorn Issues and Pony Partay. Both Zipp Gets Her Wings and Zipp's Yes Day show that Zipp is highly dedicated to practicing and honing her flying skills. Secret Ad-mare-er shows that she has an interest in botany, enthusiastically cultivating a venus fly trap.
