And what would you like to see then? Personally, I see Applejack well developed already. I'm not going to list her traits and flaws again but it all points to AJ being satisfied with her state (i.e. no dreams/present fears).

Giving her new traits would count as changes. Giving her a goal in life would count as a change since she never had one to begin with (outside of supporting her friends and family and keeping the farm alive).

And regarding that you want people to understand and not take her for granted, so do I but some people maybe can't understand or see what truly makes AJ great. I can compare it to trying to convince a religious person that there is no God or trying to teach a person physics, sometimes they just can't understand it.

M.A. Larson has said before that the reason why people think she's a background pony is because Applejack is modest. Let's be realistic here:

RD= Attention grabber.

Rarity= fashionista.

Fluttershy= Adorable.

Pinkie Pie= Talkative and breaks the 4th Wall.

Twilight= Does amazing magic and is the main protagonist of the show.

Applejack= ... Grown up and responsible?

The fact is that AJ's character doesnt have the 'hook' that the others have. These characters are designed to grab your attention, AJ is not. So in short, AJ is the modest of them all.

But to end this, I'll say it again: '''Applejack doesn't need anymore character development. She started out pretty mature at first and has overcome most of her flaws. So, she needs episodes of her own to show 22 minutes of her character traits.'''

And im sorry if this is all sad to you but i'm taking a defensive position on AJ. People, including AJ fans have overlooked what makes her great.

But I agree with you all on Season 3 Applejack, she's definitely being better used in her support role
