She is the younger sister of Applejack and one of the founding members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders alongside Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. She is Pinkie Pie's first apprentice and a partner-in-crime in Ponyville, managing to murder both of her school bullies at an early age.

## Appearance

Apple Bloom is a filly with a red mane and tail, orange ombre eyes, and a yellow coat. Her hair is adorned with a large pink bow and her cutie mark is that of a red apple being stabbed.

## Personality

Apple Bloom comes off as a friendly, honest, and stubborn pony, almost taking after her older sister Applejack. She does have a sadistic side, however, such as when she took advantage of a fellow classmate, named Cedar, who had a crush on her. In "The New Elements of Harmony," she is proclaimed by Pinkie to be the Element of Determination for never giving up on finding her cutie mark.

## Biography

### Background

Little detail is given about Apple Bloom's past. She was raised by her grandmother, alongside her two older siblings, because her parents had died when she was a baby. At some point, Applejack became friends with Pinkie Pie and asked the other to foalsit her younger sister. According to Apple Bloom, when she was around eight years old, she stumbled upon Pinkie dragging an unconscious stallion into Sugarcube Corner's basement through a secret tunnel behind the bakery. She decided to follow her, though Pinkie soon noticed the filly and nearly started crying, remarking she didn't want to get rid of her as a witness. Initially, Apple Bloom got frightened but promised she wouldn't get upset with Pinkie, so the mare explained and demonstrated her whole special cupcake operation to her. The process fascinated Apple Bloom, and she started assisting Pinkie, hoping to earn her cutie mark. Due to Pinkie's encouragement, Apple Bloom started viewing their work as morally acceptable, and her mental well-being slowly deteriorated with every pony's murder she saw.

#### Broken Tiara

Around two years later, she met Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, with whom she formed the Cutie Mark Crusaders. After the events of One Bad Apple, where the crusaders had befriended Apple Bloom's cousin Babs Seed, she drew her school bully's, Diamond Tiara's, number out of spite because the other had made fun of her deceased parents. With the help of Pinkie, Diamond Tiara got drugged and dragged into the basement, where Apple Bloom tortured her until she became unresponsive to the pain. Apple Bloom finally killed Diamond Tiara, which caused her to cry afterward because of both the joy and emotional pain she felt.

Diamond Tiara was the first pony Apple Bloom ever killed fully by herself, and it traumatized her psyche more than she had expected. At that moment, something had cracked in Apple Bloom as her last bit of empathy for everypony vanished, and she desired to cause others physical pain equivalent to her despair. However, the urge vanished as quickly as it came. While trying to make sense of the situation, Apple Bloom realized that Pinkie would be the last pony she would want dead, and her mind replaced Applejack with her. From that point on, Apple Bloom came to view Pinkie as both her mentor and big sister.
