Babs Seed

Babs Seed is a school-age Earth pony. Apple Bloom introduces her as her cousin from Manehatten in the episode One Bad Apple. It is unknown if she is related to the Apple's side of the family or the Orange's side with Uncle and Aunt Orange. True to her Manehatten origins, she speaks with an incredibly pronounced Bronx accent. She also displays two characteristic tics throughout the episode: covering her flank with her tail when reminded of her lack of a cutie mark, and blowing her mane with her breath.

Depiction in the series
Babs Seed is introduced in One Bad Apple. She arrives at the Ponyville train station, where Apple Bloom introduces her to the other Cutie Mark Crusaders, who then show her the clubhouse and their giant pumpkin float for the Float Parade. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon arrive shortly after and berate Babs for not having a cutie mark, which she seems self-conscious about. Ultimately, Babs makes fun of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, wrecks their float, and joins Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara commending Babs' "big city attitude". She then spends much of her time tormenting the Crusaders, who are scared of being "snitches" if they tell Applejack, and she even kicks them out of their clubhouse, forcing them to resort to drastic measures: Booby-trapping a float and enticing her to ride it herself in an attempt to ultimately humiliate her.

But on the day of the parade, the girls find out from Applejack that Babs was bullied in Manehatten, which is why Babs herself turned to bullying. After Babs is rescued from the sabotaged float, the four make amends, and Babs joins the Cutie Mark Crusaders, becoming the official fourth member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and promising to start the Manehatten branch of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. At the train station, she tells Applejack that she will tell her older sister about her being bullied when she gets back to Manehatten. Right before she returns home, she stands up to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon when they start teasing the Crusaders again and manages to effectively subdue them, which Sweetie Belle says makes her a true "bad Seed" (in a good way).

The song, Babs Seed, from the episode depicts Babs chasing and bullying the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
