Doctor Whooves, also known by alternate names like Dr. Hooves, Whooves or Time Turner, is a brown male pony that appeared as a recurring My Little Pony background character, and ended up becoming a Breakout Character for the show fandom, notably because of the headcanon of many fans that he was a pony version of The Doctor from Doctor Who.
Origins
Doctor Whooves began the series as a random nameless pony that would be used on background shots of the series. However, thanks to his hourglass Cutie Mark, his design bearing some slight resemblance to the actor David Tennant, and the popularity of Doctor Who at the time, people created the headcanon that he was a pony version of the Tenth Doctor; This was also expanded to the idea that any pony that had a hourglass Mark was another Time Lord as well.
