Applejack is a female Earth pony and one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She lives and works at Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother Granny Smith, her older brother Big McIntosh, her younger sister Apple Bloom, and her dog Winona. She represents the element of honesty.

Development and design

Concept art of Applejack back in 2008 by Lauren Faust.

Lauren Faust's childhood Applejack toy.

Lauren Faust was inspired to create Applejack by G1 Applejack. Applejack is the only one of the Mane Six whose name, color scheme, and cutie mark didn't change from Faust's preliminary character sketches. The only difference in Applejack's final design is the addition of her cowboy hat. A character with the same name also appears in G3, but there are no design details that carried over to the G4 design. Along with Spike, Applejack is the only main character that Faust was able to carry over from G1 without changes to their name or design.

As a filly in the flashback from Where the Apple Lies, she's proportioned similarly to Plaid Stripes, "Pearly Whites", "Thunderstruck", filly Fluttershy, later filly Pear Butter, later filly Derpy, and Crystal Hoof.

Voice actress Ashleigh Ball has cited country singers Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire as inspiration for Applejack's voice and dialect.

Name

Applejack is also the name of a strong alcoholic beverage produced from apples. In the episode Bridle Gossip, the poison joke causes Applejack to shrink. Spike calls her "Apple Teeny," a pun on the word appletini, another alcoholic beverage named after apples.

Applejack is the first pony to have her name abbreviated in the show. In Applebuck Season, Twilight Sparkle calls her "A.J.," a nickname that is used again by Spike in Boast Busters, Big McIntosh in Winter Wrap Up, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash in The Last Roundup, Pinkie Pie in MMMystery on the Friendship Express, and Coloratura in The Mane Attraction.

Depiction in the series

Cutie mark

Applejack tells of how she left the apple farm.

In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Applejack tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders how she gained her cutie mark. At one point as a filly, she left Sweet Apple Acres to live "the sophisticated life" with her upper-class relatives in Manehattan. She soon began to feel homesick, however, and while looking wistfully outside her window one morning, Applejack saw a rainbow appear that pointed back to Ponyville. Taking it as a sign to return home, she travelled back to Sweet Apple Acres, whereupon her cutie mark appeared.

In Call of the Cutie, Applejack mentions that she was the last in her class to get a cutie mark, a trait that she shares with Big McIntosh and Granny Smith.

Personality

Diligence and conventionality

"This is your sister Applejack, remember? The loyalest of friends and the most dependable of ponies?"

— Applejack

Applejack and Winona through the sunlight.

Applejack is hardworking and diligent in her labor at Sweet Apple Acres and tends to prefer traditional methods of work. In Winter Wrap Up, she insists on removing snow with plows instead of magic and becomes upset when Twilight Sparkle uses a spell to automate a plow. When the Apple family run out of cider in the midst of high demand in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, Applejack contends that the drink's quality is worth the family's slow method of production.

Not the expressions you want to see in a family reunion.

In Applebuck Season, Applejack works through extreme exhaustion to complete an annual apple harvest by herself while fulfilling promises to help her friends, though her diminished focus ultimately creates other problems around town. In Apple Family Reunion, Applejack overhauls the usual family reunion activities in order to make the event as memorable as possible, but her efforts inadvertently end up exhausting the guests and destroying the farmhouse.

Mannerisms

Applejack speaks with a Southern American accent and tends to employ linguistic conventions from the same region. She frequently refers to individual friends and family as "sugarcube" as a sign of affection and often uses metaphoric "countryisms" to describe or compare.

"You're more nervous than a worm in an apple on cider-making day."

— Applejack

Applejack generally shows little concern for formal etiquette and cleanliness. She doesn't hesitate to enter the Golden Oak Library with muddy hooves in Look Before You Sleep, and later in the episode, she disgusts Rarity by chewing s'mores with her mouth open and burping. In Suited For Success, Applejack tells Rarity that she was planning to wear her "work duds" to the Grand Galloping Gala instead of a dress. On the other hand, when Princess Celestia hosts a brunch at Sugarcube Corner in A Bird in the Hoof, Applejack hesitates to eat and eventually gives up out of concern that she'll eat the wrong dish first.

Applejack dislikes things that are overly fancy or feminine. She grudgingly consents to wear a "frou-frou, glittery, lacey outfit" as part of a dare in Look Before You Sleep, and in Suited For Success, she tells Rarity not to make her gala dress "too frou-frou-y". In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Applejack describes feeling unsatisfied in her youth when she tried living the "sophisticated life" with relatives in Manehattan, leading her to return to Sweet Apple Acres. When Apple Bloom starts speaking French in The Cutie Pox, Applejack declares with horror that her sister is "speakin' in fancy". Despite this apparent disdain for "fancy" things, she crafts a heart-shaped ice sculpture in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1.

Putting her hat on at the wedding.

Applejack wears a light brown Stetson hat almost constantly during her waking hours. In Sisterhooves Social, Rarity is able to trick Sweetie Belle into thinking she is Applejack by wearing the Stetson hat while her body is clad in mud. Applejack retrieves her hat out of nowhere and stealthily dons it during a wedding ceremony in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, and in The Mysterious Mare Do Well, she is the only "Mare Do Well" to keep her hat on in the final scene. In My Little Pony The Movie, when air bubbles appear on the Mane Six' heads after they get trapped underwater, Applejack's hat appears perched on top of her bubble.

In Somepony to Watch Over Me, it is revealed that the Apple family home has a closet full of Stetson hats, along with pink bows for Apple Bloom. Aside from this, three other means for Applejack's hat acquisition have been depicted in the show:

• In Hot Minute with Applejack, Applejack claims she won her hat bobbing for apples at the Ponyville Fair.
• In Made in Manehattan, Applejack's hat becomes damaged from all of the work put into restoring the park. At the end of the episode, Rarity drops the damaged hat into a trashcan and buys Applejack an identical hat from a nearby street vendor.
• In My Little Pony Best Gift Ever, Applejack's hat is identified as one that Bright Mac gave her.

Stubbornness and giving in

"I ain't budgin'."

— Applejack

Hat vs horn.

Applejack can be headstrong and unyielding in her views. She refuses to resolve her differences with Rarity for most of Twilight Sparkle's sleepover in Look Before You Sleep, and in The Last Roundup, she steadfastly rebuffs her friends' efforts to learn what happened at the Canterlot rodeo competition. In Over a Barrel, when Braeburn attempts to seek compromise with Little Strongheart to resolve the conflict between Appleloosa and the buffalo tribe, Applejack interrupts and insists that the settler ponies are in the right.

Applejack repeatedly refuses Twilight's offer for help with harvesting apples in Applebuck Season, though after fainting from exhaustion and recognizing the trouble brought on by her behavior, she graciously welcomes the assistance. In The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, when the Flim Flam brothers appear on track to win a cider-making contest that would grant them control of Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack gladly accepts her friends' offer to help.

In Bats!, Applejack insists on removing the vampire fruit bats from her orchard and roundly rejects Fluttershy's plan to grant them a portion of it. However, after the friends' attempt at an alternate solution ends up turning Fluttershy into a bat herself, Applejack relents and allots a section of apple trees for the bats.

Empathy and care

Applejack acting motherly to a tree in Over a Barrel.

Applejack is sympathetic and attentive to the needs of others. When Fluttershy is frightened by the steep slope of the mountain in Dragonshy, Applejack offers to lead her along a shallower trail. She is the first to notice Twilight Sparkle's glum countenance on the train in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, and she is the only one to apologize for not listening to her in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2. In Sleepless in Ponyville, Applejack is the only pony to ask Scootaloo about the nervousness she exhibits en route to the second campsite.

Applejack pulls Rainbow Dash by her tail to stop her from acting rashly in Friendship is Magic, part 1, Friendship is Magic, part 2, The Ticket Master, Dragonshy, The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, and The Crystal Empire - Part 2.

In Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1, Applejack comforts Twilight with the assurance that the Mane Six are connected through the Elements of Harmony even if they are physically distant. Though ultimately misguided, Applejack suggests that Twilight return to Ponyville for her safety in Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2.

Applejack can be overprotective, especially of Apple Bloom. In Bridle Gossip, Applejack continually "protects" Apple Bloom from Zecora on account of her false assumptions about the zebra. She calls off a delivery errand and baby-proofs Sweet Apple Acres in order to protect Apple Bloom in Somepony to Watch Over Me. In Fame and Misfortune, Applejack takes care of ponies wanting to live on the farmstead and be part of the Apple family, despite the work and stress it places on the actual family members.

Honesty

"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!"

— Twilight Sparkle

Applejack tells Twilight to let go.

Applejack represents the element of honesty; she first demonstrates the trait in Friendship is Magic, part 2 when Twilight trusts her instruction to let go of a cliff edge and ends up safely caught by Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Applejack is initially accepting of Flim and Flam's placebo tonic in Leap of Faith, though when Silver Shill shares how her behavior taught him that "sometimes honesty isn't the best policy", she decides to take a hard stance against the brothers' false claims.

In The Return of Harmony Part 1, Discord dismays Applejack with a false vision of her friendships dissolving and suggests lying to herself to relieve the pain. This leads her to lie compulsively until Twilight Sparkle reverts the effect in The Return of Harmony Part 2 with a spell that reminds Applejack of her true self.

Applejack demonstrates an honest work ethic throughout the series; in terms of truth-telling, her adherence is more casual in the early seasons. In Party of One, she falsely claims that the barn at Sweet Apple Acres is undergoing construction in order to convince Pinkie Pie not to enter. In Spike at Your Service, Applejack arranges and carries out a ruse to trick Spike into believing that he saved her life. In The Last Roundup, she repeats the false claim that she had no other reason to move to Dodge Junction than wanting to pick cherries, although she later keeps her Pinkie promise to tell the full story "at breakfast" by avoiding the meal altogether.

Applejack's values of honesty are explored in detail in Where the Apple Lies. When she and Big McIntosh were younger, they had conflicting ideas on how to run Sweet Apple Acres. She tries to make an arrangement with Filthy Rich where he sells Apple family cider in his store, but when the arrangement goes south and threatens to sever all business ties between the Apple and Rich families, Applejack tells one lie after another in order to keep their families' relations stable. Her lies quickly spiral out of control, however, and Applejack eventually confesses to everyone involved. After this experience, she learns to value being honest.

The episode The Perfect Pear reveals that Applejack inherited her strong values of honesty from her father Bright Mac. In My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #23, Applejack's personal beliefs on honesty are directly connected to her Elements of Harmony, making her physically incapable of lying.

Skills

Strength

Applejack possesses incredible physical strength due to, as she explains in Fall Weather Friends, years of applebucking, the practice of harvesting apple trees by kicking them to knock the apples down. Some examples are in the following episodes:

• Applebuck Season: Even when she is sleep-deprived, Applejack clears all of the apples out of a tree in a single kick. In the episode Over a Barrel, the citizens of Appleloosa work in groups and kick multiple times to harvest apples from a single tree.
• Dragonshy: Before Twilight enters the dragon cave, Applejack turns a pair of apples into projectiles with a single kick on each, causing them to break upon impact against a rock. She demonstrates similar feats in Spike at Your Service, launching rocks at a group of timberwolves, and Buckball Season, breaking a hole through a wooden target board.
• Fall Weather Friends: In the bucking contest, Applejack uses one hind hoof and bucks the hammer so hard that it breaks and sends the bell flying.
• The Mysterious Mare Do Well: While dressed up, she stops a bus from falling with a single kick.
• Leap of Faith: When trying to "rescue" Granny Smith while the latter swims, Applejack knocks over a tall tree with a single kick.
• Shadow Play - Part 1: Applejack stops a massive boulder with her hind legs before it can crush a group of ponies, then kicks it a considerable distance away.

Athleticism

Applejack using her lasso.

Applejack possesses extraordinary athletic abilities. She and Rainbow Dash compete in the Iron Pony competition in Fall Weather Friends, where their athletic feats draw a sizable crowd. Applejack demonstrates her skills with a lasso in several episodes and in My Little Pony The Movie.

In The Mysterious Mare Do Well, Applejack refers to her left and right hind hooves as "Bucky McGillycuddy" and "Kicks McGee" respectively.

In Going to Seed, Applejack bucks three apple trees in one spinning motion.

Cooking

Applejack's stand at the gala.

Pinkie Pie describes Applejack as "one of the best bakers ever" in Applebuck Season. Applejack sells apple-based foods at a concession stand in The Best Night Ever. In an earlier episode, Applejack describes to Twilight how she will use the money from the concession stand to upgrade the barn roof, buy a new plow for Big McIntosh, and replace Granny Smith's hip. In A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, Princess Celestia asks Applejack to prepare refreshments and the wedding cake for Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's royal wedding. She cheers up a grumpy Twilight with an apple fritter during the wedding preparations. In Apple Family Reunion, Applejack shows her skill at making apple fritters to her relatives. In the episode Rainbow Falls, she makes an abundance of apple brown bettys for the Ponyville air relay team.

Herding

Applejack stops a cow stampede in Applebuck Season with only the help of her dog, Winona. Twilight Sparkle seeks her help first when she is looking for a way to herd the parasprites out of Ponyville in Swarm of the Century. Applejack and her family also herd the Pinkie Pies together by Twilight's instructions in Too Many Pinkie Pies.

Playing musical instruments

Playing the fiddle.

Applejack demonstrates an affinity for playing musical instruments throughout the series. In A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, she plays a fiddle during the picture montage in Love is in Bloom. In Pinkie Apple Pie, she plays a banjo during Apples to the Core. In Somepony to Watch Over Me, she plays a snake charming flute to save Apple Bloom from a chimera. In a flashback in The Mane Attraction, she accompanies Coloratura on the acoustic guitar during a camp talent show. In a flashback or fantasy in Twilight's Seven, Applejack's alter ego Apple Chord is a talented, and later very famous, guitar player.

Experience as a Ponyville citizen

Throughout the first season, Applejack tells Twilight Sparkle about the way things are in Ponyville. She gets upset with Twilight for using magic during Winter Wrap Up, and tells her "That's not how we do it 'round here, Twilight, and especially not on mah farm", although she quickly regrets her outburst when Twilight runs off in tears.

She explains to Twilight in Feeling Pinkie Keen that "those of us who have been in Ponyville a while, have learned over time that, if Pinkie's-a-twichin', you better listen."

It is also evident that she has a very good reputation among the citizens of Ponyville. Community-wide ceremonies are held in the episodes Applebuck Season and The Last Roundup to reward her with the Pony of Ponyville award and to send her off for the Equestria Rodeo Competition held in Canterlot respectively. In Leap of Faith, a herd of ponies are convinced to buy the tonic of the Flim Flam Brothers because of her approval.

Family

Main article: Apple family

Applejack's immediate and extended family is featured in the show multiple times. This includes her big brother Big McIntosh, her little sister Apple Bloom, her grandmother Granny Smith, and many more distant relatives. The episode Pinkie Apple Pie suggests that Pinkie Pie may be among these distant relatives, but all evidence shown leaves this ambiguous.

Applejack's parents

Applejack viewing two shooting stars.

The whereabouts of Applejack's parents is touched on in the episode Apple Family Reunion. At the end of the episode, the shot fades to a view of Sweet Apple Acres as two shooting stars fly through the sky. The shooting stars are meant to represent Applejack's parents, according to storyboard artist Sabrina Alberghetti. In Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Applejack tells Apple Bloom that their parents would be proud of her after she receives her cutie mark. Applejack's mother is referred to in the chapter book Applejack and the Honest-to-Goodness Switcheroo.

Applejack's parents Bright Mac and Pear Butter appear in flashback in the season seven episode The Perfect Pear, in which they are revealed to have had a Romeo and Juliet-like romance as a result of a feud between the Apple family and Pear family.

Lauren Faust had previously mentioned that the whereabouts of Applejack's parents has not been planned, and that the show is unlikely to mention that they've passed away. Faust stated that while she wanted it to be the case, she "didn't think they would allow it."

During their journey, they are nearly sold into slavery by Capper and thrown overboard Captain Celaeno's airship. In the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, Applejack and her friends almost convince Novo to help them save their home from the Storm King, but Twilight's attempted theft of Novo's Pearl of Transformation gets them banished from Seaquestria.

Applejack and the rest of the Mane Six have a falling-out with Twilight over her actions, but they—along with other friends they made during their journey—return to Canterlot to rescue her when she gets captured by Tempest.
