Granny Smith

Granny Smith is an aged earth pony, Applejack's grandmother, and a recurring character in the series. She is one of the few elderly ponies in Ponyville.

Granny Smith first appears in Friendship is Magic, part 1, as the last member of the Apple family that Applejack introduces to Twilight Sparkle. When we first see her, and in most subsequent appearances, Granny's speech is not very clear; she wakes up and gets out of her chair, mumbles a few words sounding vaguely like "what?" and "soup's on", then feebly walks over to the rest of the ponies. She mutters "soup's on" again in The Show Stoppers when she's passed by Scootaloo. She manages to talk more clearly in Griffon the Brush Off, when she mistakes Gilda's tail for a rattlesnake.

Granny Smith's bad hip is mentioned by Applejack in The Ticket Master, as one of the reasons Applejack wants to attend the Grand Galloping Gala and set up an apple booth business. Applejack fantasizes that she will earn herself and her family enough money to replace their "saggy old" roof and plow, as well as Granny Smith's hip. Despite her hip, she cheers for Applejack in Fall Weather Friends when she competes against Rainbow Dash. In Swarm of the Century, she was hardy enough to help Applejack and Big McIntosh in their attempted defense of the farm from parasprites. She is uncharacteristically spry in The Return of Harmony Part 2, where she dances about in Sweet Apple Acres, but this may be due to Discord's magic, as her color is desaturated in a similar way to the other ponies affected by Discord's magic.
