Lea Dabssi, known in the fandom as Imalou, is an artist and character designer in the animation industry.
For a long time (since 2011!), she was primarily known as a very skilled artist in the Brony community, but when Generation 5 was in the works, she saw the golden opportunity to work on it — and took it! Amongst the main characters, she has created Sunny, Izzy, and Sprout.
