**Applejack** is a female earth pony who lives and works in Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother, Granny Smith, her older brother, Big McIntosh, her younger sister, Apple Bloom, her dog, Winona, and, more recently, her sister-in-law, Cherry Blossom, and her nephew, Jonagold Apple. She represents the element of honesty. She works at Sweet Apple Acres mainly as an apple bucker, although the Apples occasionally farm carrots and corn as well. She marries Cloud Chaser and together they have a son named Apple Storm.

## Personality

Applejack is a brave, reliable, strong, mature, and hard-working pony, although headstrong about doing things on her own. However, as much she wants to do her things by her own, she ultimately realize when she cannot do it alone and ask her friends for help.

Applejack speaks with a Southern American accent, a thick southern drawl, similar to the accent of the southwestern Missouri and Oklahoma Ozarks, where there is a great number of apple orchards. In numerous episodes, she refers to members of her friends and family as "sugarcube" as a sign of affection.

She has no reservations about getting dirty or messy or having any proper eating etiquette, what sometimes create some disagreements with Rarity. She also dislikes things that are "girly" and "fancy", but there are a few exceptions to that statement.

Just like most of her family members, she is very stubborn, as she doesn't give up easily, even when she knows she cannot do the task. This also leads her to her desire to win competitions she gets in, just like the "friendly" competitions she has with Rainbow Dash.

Applejack is often shown to be one of the more empathetic members of the main cast, putting the needs and feelings of others before her own. On occasion, Applejack gets carried away with her empathy, especially with Apple Bloom, becoming quite overprotective with her.

However, her most strong trait is her honesty, in such way she represents the element of honesty. She is so honest that lying is almost painful to her. When she doesn't want to tell the truth she simply avoids the question or run.

## Skills

Applejack possesses incredible physical strength due to years of applebucking, the practice of harvesting apple trees by kicking them to knock the apples down. Applejack also possesses extraordinary athletic abilities, something that she shows in her "friendly" competitions with Rainbow Dash.

She is also a capable cooky, as she dealt with the catering to Shining and Cadance's wedding, as well to Big Mac and Cherry's and Twilight and Blue Sword's.

To defeat the Sirens, Twilight and her friends received from Melody a power that was activated by their best potential.
