Pie family

Pinkie's immediate family
According to Pinkie Pie's recollection in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, she was raised on a rock farm with her parents and sisters, where there was no talking or smiling. They spent each day harvesting rocks, until Pinkie threw their first ever party a short while after Rainbow Dash's first sonic rainboom. Pinkie Pie's family resembles the Amish. In contrast to Pinkie Pie's pink color scheme, her family's coats and manes consist mostly of grays and dull browns.

Parents

In the Enterplay collectible card game's expansion set Canterlot Nights, card of Cloudy Quartz lists her name with a trademark symbol and lists the quote "When I 'went wild' as a filly, I ate an entire bag of rock candy in one sitting.

They are available characters in Gameloft's mobile game, in which they are fillies at the same time that Pinkie and Maud are mares. Marble and Limestone's respective in-game descriptions state "Marble Pie is a foal who doesn't take her family's rock farm for 'granite'! She loves to play hide-and-seek among the boulders... That is, until no pony can find her!" and "When Limestone Pie is spotted in a crowd, you know she's Pinkie's foal sister when things get super loud!"
