## Personality

Apple Bloom is a brave and independant filly, although her big sister Applejack doesn't think that. When everypony feared Zecora, she asserts that she wasn't actually afraid of her and that she's "not a baby" and doesn't need Applejack's protection. When Twilight Sparkle tries to reason everyone into talking to Zecora instead of hiding from her, Apple Bloom is the only pony who listens to and agrees with everything Twilight says. However, Applejack admonishes her with "hush and let the big ponies talk", to which she replies under her breath, "I am a big pony", and leaves to follow Zecora into the Everfree Forest to prove that she isn't as immature and timid as Applejack thinks she is.

The other ponies realize Apple Bloom is missing and suspect she's trying to see Zecora. Applejack manages to stop her, though in the process all the six ponies who came after her step in poison joke. When Apple Bloom discovers that Applejack and her friends are "cursed", she goes off into the forest to find Zecora. Then, when tiny Applejack tells her to turn around, Apple Bloom tells her, "Sorry, Applejack, but I'm the big sister now." Finally, when the ponies come to Zecora demanding answers, they find that Apple Bloom is already friends with Zecora and is helping her brew a remedy for the real cause of the "curse".

Apple Bloom starts her enthusiastic pursuit of a cutie mark along with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. This is a theme that continues through all the series.

She is very adamant about finding her cutie mark in the beginning, and manages to persuade Twilight Sparkle to try to magically make her cutie mark appear even though Twilight tells her it's no use. She's very aggressive with her salesmanship when tried to sell apples to get her Cutie Mark, and even tries to force a pony into buying some apples by putting apples in her bag and insinuating the pony was trying to steal them.

Apple Bloom and her friend Twist are derisively called "blank flanks" by Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, who invite them to their cute-ceañera to rub it in. Apple Bloom, with Rainbow Dash helping, decides to dedicate herself to getting her cutie mark, but despite her best efforts, she cannot find what she's good at. She feels down and turns to Twist for support, only to find Twist has already gotten her cutie mark. Later at the cute-ceañera she makes friends with two fellow ponies with no cutie marks, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, who come to her defense when Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara deride her again. The three blank flanks form the Cutie Mark Crusaders, a club whose purpose is finding their hidden talents so they can earn their cutie marks.

Apple Bloom's focus on getting her cutie mark leads her to make a potion out of Zecora's Heart's Desire plant without permission. At first Apple Bloom is delighted at the effects of the potion, and becomes the focus of attention at her school and in Ponyville, much to Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara's displeasure. She gets two cutie marks, earning her praise from Applejack, Big McIntosh and Granny Smith for being extra special. After she suffers ill effects from the potion, and eventually gets a disease called "cutie pox", which causes random cutie marks to appear on a pony's body, making them do whatever talent just appeared on their new marks. Zecora, who noticed the plant was missing, comes to Ponyville and offers her a cure, the flower of the Seeds of Truth. Apple Bloom confesses that she took the plant, and the Seeds of Truth grow into a flower, which she promptly eats to cure her of the cutie pox. Even though she tells Twilight that she's learned a lesson about being patient, she quickly loses her patience and resumes searching for her cutie mark.

Apple Bloom shows the ability of thinking up great ideas by convincing her Crusader friends to pursue journalism as the means of getting their cutie marks. Her determination carries her as far as damaging the reputation of her siblings for the sake of her goal, although she felt guilt in doing so.

After meeting Cherry Blossom and realizing her brother had fallen in love for her, Apple Bloom, with the help of her friends, tried everything to bring them together until they are succeeded in doing so.

## Skills

While preparing to a talent show, Apple Bloom renovates the derelict tree-house to perfection, and the other ponies expect her to handle the creation and design of their set for the talent show, performing acts of carpentry and decoration. She also show this ability of her again when she rebuilt the Cutie Mark Crusaders' clubhouse alone, earning then her Cutie Mark.

As an adult, Apple Bloom, due to her time as a Cutie Mark Crusader, becomes well versed in recognizing talent, being one of the reasons for her to become head of the Club of Activities of the Three Great Fairies Preparatory Academy.

After getting a dreaming cloak, Apple Bloom gets new abilities. The cloak gives her the ability to give big jumps and regulate the velocity of her fall. It also allows her to use wood nature, despite being in a lesser scale than the one used by Leaf Mane. With it, she can control plants, allowing her to create roots from the grown and use them to attack the enemy or lasso them. With time, Apple Bloom was able to better control her wood nature in a way that she could better manipulate the plants around her. According to Purple Smoke, the cloak, while being used or not, allows her to sense talents and dreams.
