Even though these characters have little interactions with the main cast, I thought I'd give you an idea of some of the weird folk you can find is modern Ponyville
1) Violet Prose-Daughter of Inky Rose [a fashion icon] and a devote mare of Faith.
Religion exists in Equestria though it is less controversial then in our world. There is Buddhism, Christianity, Islamism and a few others. Violet's family isn't religious but she is a priestess and commissioned a chapel to be erected in Ponyville
2) Tails-Son of Snips. Tails [Puppy Dog Tails] is a sweet boy who's an employee at Strawberry Essence's B n' B! When he's not at work you can find him at the arcade with his friends
3) Fern-Son of Sandbar and Scorch. While I have seen the first episode of season 8(?) I haven't watched much more. I think Sandbar and Scorch are super cute! Their future son Fern follows in their footsteps and attends The School of Harmony. However he prefers to fix skateboard
4) Honey Bunny-Her parents moved to Ponyville from Zebrika when her father got a job as a Royal Guard at Twilight's Castle. Honey is a sarcastic little shit who loves gossip and parties. She works at Pinkie's Party Emporium during the day but DJs at night
5) Puppy Love-Pup is Baroo's oldest brother who only recently came to Ponyville after being disowned by his father Rover. He's a matchmaker at a cafe called Cher Ciel Cherise [a cafe and marriage counselling office run by Ciel Cerise
He's a buff boi on the exterior but also a total lover and is well liked by the creatures of Ponyville
6) Crema-In Ponyville there is a Ice Cream bar/Candy Shop called Twist-and-Bon run by Twist and BonBon. One of their full-time employees is a loud mouth named Crema, daughter of Hayseed Turnip. Crema loves to talk but is also someone you can count on to listen just as hard.
7) Peppermint Patty-The second full-time employee at Twist-and-Bon is Patty. Born to Thunderlane of the Wonderbolts and Blossomforth, Patty works at the back of the shop with Miss Twist creating new tasty treats. She's very shy but also very creative
8) Hilda-The niece of Mathilda Donkey, Hilda came to Ponyville after her parents died in a helicopter crash. Hilda was bullied a bit when she first arrived but became close friends with Sage Leaf [son of Fluttershy] who taught her to fight. The two went on to open up a Gym before Sage's career picked up. Hilda stayed in Ponyville to teach the next generation of creatures self-defence and courage.
Also yes…she's incredibly intimidating…
9) Pinot Noir-Youngest son of Bulk Biceps, Pinot is a sommelier and the town pretty face. He's known around town as a womanizer [though he definitely likes the odd submissive stallion too] but he's also at his core a kind guy. He's completely unaware that his ex-girlfriend Strawberry Essence had a child, though he stumbled across the foal in public and nearly died on the spot.
He definitely will have a place in Astral Quasar life however
10) Angelite Remedy-Daughter of Starswirl the Bearded and his wife Mage Meadowbrook [also younger sister of Stygian who is also the son of Starswirl and Mage] is a quiet little thing teaching patience at The School of Harmony.
Though her father has since past, she learnt everything she knows about magic from him. However her eldest brother believed that she could learn compassion at Twilight's school so she first attended as a student then returned as a teacher.
