Granny Smith is a minor character that only appears in Daughter and Son-In-Law of Discord fanfiction. She was instrumental to the founding of Ponyville and the matriarch of the Apple Family.

## *Appearance*

She's an elderly light green coated Earth Pony that has a brown pie on top of a gray tray as Cutie Mark, matching orange eyes with her white mane and tail pulled back into a bun. Around her neck is a light orange scarf decorated with red apples.

## *Personality*

A patient and caring grandmother but can be scatter-brained at times, she's proven to be a very hard-working character by raising her grandchildren on her own while working the farm and hosting reunions at Sweet Apple Acres. Despite what difficulties or/and situation her grandchildren are in, Granny Smith is there to help by providing wisdom or guidance especially when it came to advising Applejack on her developing crush on Spike.

## *History*

Before Ponyville was founded, Granny Smith had first travelled across Equestria with her family to Canterlot, where they had met Princess Celestia who directed them to a spot of land where they could make a home for themselves. While there, Granny Smith would soon discover a way to make Zap Apples leading to ponies to buy them including Filthy Rich's ancestor Stinkin' Rich making a profit, the gold her family would earn allowed them to build a barn. Sometime later, another farm would settle besides theirs that grew pears lead by Grand Pear who would start a feud with Granny Smith - around that time Granny Smith had met Apple Core and the two conceived Bright Mac who years later would marry Grand Pear's daughter Pear Butter.
