a young deer pony from the largest orchard in equestria. the farm homes a long list of the extended apple family, and still they span over the continent

"apple family" is kind of a loose term, in ways of bloodline. anypony with a history with the family could easily be considered an apple. applejack is "the guy who knows a guy'' with an expanse of talented ponies to call upon in times of need

pear butter being a deer, applejack isn't really made for apple bucking. which would be alright if she was willing to take it slow and work at a pace that lets her body recover stronger than it was before. keyword if. her legs cant keep up and she overworks herself into permanent disability.

for the longest time applejack resents her body and her mother, for being too "weak" and for dying before she got to know her. pear butter dies in childbirth and bright mac is left to care for his family before dying himself in a fire on the farm. applejack is too young to work the orchard and granny smith is too old to be a full time mother. for a time, other members of the family help big mac with the share of the orchard they've inherited while he, applejack, and granny smith split the work of looking after a young applebloom.

but that means they end up neglecting their own fields. slowly, taking care of applebloom begins to fall entirely on applejack. big mac needs to help with the orchard, and granny smith just can't do much more than watch over her during nap time. once she's older applejack also begins to work in the orchard, despite the exhaustion, pain, and all the work she needs to do for applebloom. she can do it all! for a time.

cutie mark represents her ability to buy and sell. she can sweet talk her way into any deal at the market, and can %100 guarantee that anypony can find an apple product perfect for them down at the orchard. element of love

once she finally accepts she needs help, she also begins to wear pear butters brooches on her father's hat.

The funniest part is the other students looking at them like this ABDHAHDHAHA. No one was expecting Twilight to suddenly pull DARK MAGIC on them omg ma'am you were supposed to be the GOOD LADY, HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT AND HOW'RE YOU NOT INSANE FROM USING THAT
