Applejack

Original concept for Applejack by Tessrina.

Applejack is an earth pony who, much like the Applejack from the official G4 series, lives on a farm and sells apples with her family. She wakes up one day to find her little sister, Denim Blue, and her best friends missing, and it's time to investigate her family's biggest competitor: Triple Treat. Now, how does she get into his huge, hidden factory deep into the Everfree Meadows? The original casting call states that "Applejack was drawn to Sunshimmer by a spell at first but ended up staying as a loyal friend after she saw how angry the others were about her using magic to gain their trust.  She might be a farmer, but this doesn't mean that she can't be friends with a princess.  Right?" She is the cousin of Banjo Blue and Spring Fever.

## Strengths & Weaknesses

* **Ain't Much, But Honest Work:** Applejack is a hard worker, no doubt about it. She's the strongest farmhand at Sweet Apple Acres, and for a good reason.
* **Bloomin' Botanist:** She may not seem like it, but Applejack knows a lot about growing crops. She knows for a *fact* as well, that non-perishable produce isn't a possible promise.

* **Dignity** is his highest attribute.

* **Solemn disposition** is his lowest attribute.

## Physical Characteristics

Applejack is a medium carmine earth pony with ecru green, Vegas gold, and dollar bill green streaked hair. Her eyes are camouflage green and brass. She has white freckles on her fur. Her cutie mark is an apple in front of a gingham picnic blanket.

## Family & Companion

Applejack is very close to her family. This consists of her mother Bumblesweet, father Autumn Skye, siblings Denim Blue and Daisyjo, and her cousins Banjo Blue and Spring Fever. She has so many family members, in fact, that she seems to almost not notice when they turn up missing or dead (as first seen in Season 8 Episode 10: "Bye Bye, Banjo Blue!"). Applejack also has a German shepherd named Oakley.

## Season's Lesson

Applejack's season is about her dignity, and keeping a high respect for those who deserve it. She respects Triple Treat and loves him dearly when she's a filly until she hears some rumors from her father early on. Even after finding out his horrible ways, stays calm and level-headed. She treats the situation with thought and care, showing her extreme level of dignity.

## Trivia

* Applejack's personality is based off of country singer Dolly Parton.
* The original Applejack was first released in 2003 with the Picnic Celebration Accessory Playset as a Toys R Us exclusive. Applejack was released a second time in 2003. This time she was released with the Tea Party Accessory Playset that also included Spring Fever.
* Her cutie mark attributions relate to food and nature. Her cutie mark is an apple with a checkered backgraound.
* The doll's back card reads: "*If you’re looking for Applejack, you can almost always find her in Pony Park, having a picnic next to the Rainbowberry Fountain!  She loves to pack a basket full of yummy treats and share them with her friends.  Sometimes she takes her basket to Pony Beach, and goes for a swim after lunch!*"
* When writing the character into the show, we added:
	1. Spring Fever is her cousin, as well as character Banjo Blue.
	2. In her season, she is the one to find out why young ponies living near the Rainbowberry Factory (previously the Rainbowberry Fountain) are turning up missing.

* Rainbowberries are the berries in which Triple Treat disguises his produce, and they are highly toxic to adult ponies. Where does the meat come from? Well, ask the missing ponies that go to the Rainbowberry Factory.
