[[File:Baby Cakes wondering what Pinkie is doing S2E13.png|thumb|Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake.]] Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake are introduced in the episode [[Baby Cakes]]. The main six are shocked to learn that Pound Cake is a [[Pegasus]] while Pumpkin Cake is a [[unicorn]], though Mr. Cake explains it away as due to distant familial relations in both his and Mrs. Cake's lineages. They appear again in [[A Friend in Deed]], where Pinkie fails to make them laugh with her routine, until the very end, when she sits on some jacks. Their third appearance comes in [[Ponyville Confidential]], where they throw a tantrum, and are featured for it in one of Gabby Gums' articles. Pumpkin Cake appears briefly without her brother in [[Magic Duel]], and in Magical Mystery Cure, Pound Cake can be seen in Pinkie's flashback. Both twins appear in [[Pinkie Pride]] as their names were mentioned during [[Pinkie the Party Planner|a musical number]].

[[File:Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents S2E5.png|thumb|Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles.]] Rarity and Sweetie Belle's mother and father are introduced in [[Sisterhooves Social]], but their names are not mentioned in the show. Rarity's mother is visibly a unicorn, while Rarity's father often wears a hat that obscures his horn. They sport Upper Midwest American/Canadian accents and a questionable fashion sense. The mother has the same body design as [[Mr. and Mrs. Cake|Mrs. Cake]]. Rarity's mother strongly resembles the G3 unicorn Garden Wishes. Her looks are also similar to a G1 unicorn named Buttons and a toy named Ribbon Wishes, but has a different eye color than the latter. Rarity's father is enthusiastic enough about Sweetie Belle's burnt cooking that he asks for Rarity's untouched plate. He later makes a background appearance in [[One Bad Apple]], sitting on a jetty and fishing, with burnt food and a glass of burnt drink next to him. Both parents appear in [[Inspiration Manifestation]] with the father's horn and the mother's cutie mark both shown for the first time in the series. Rarity's father's cutie mark is a set of three American footballs and he is voiced by Peter New; their mother is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain who also voices Rarity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://i.imgur.com/egRde.png|title=Email mentioning Rarity's parents' voice actors|accessdate=2012-03-29}}</ref> [[Lauren Faust]], the show's creator, was interviewed by [[M.

[[File:Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents S2E5.png|thumb|Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles.]] Rarity and Sweetie Belle's mother and father are introduced in [[Sisterhooves Social]], but their names are not mentioned in the show. Rarity's mother is visibly a unicorn, while Rarity's father often wears a hat that obscures his horn. They sport Upper Midwest American/Canadian accents and a questionable fashion sense. The mother has the same body design as [[Mr. and Mrs. Cake|Mrs. Cake]]. Rarity's mother strongly resembles the G3 unicorn Garden Wishes. Her looks are also similar to a G1 unicorn named Buttons and a toy named Ribbon Wishes, but has a different eye color than the latter. Rarity's father is enthusiastic enough about Sweetie Belle's burnt cooking that he asks for Rarity's untouched plate. He later makes a background appearance in [[One Bad Apple]], sitting on a jetty and fishing, with burnt food and a glass of burnt drink next to him. Both parents appear in [[Inspiration Manifestation]] with the father's horn and the mother's cutie mark both shown for the first time in the series. Rarity's father's cutie mark is a set of three American footballs and he is voiced by Peter New; their mother is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain who also voices Rarity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://i.imgur.com/egRde.png|title=Email mentioning Rarity's parents' voice actors|accessdate=2012-03-29}}</ref> [[Lauren Faust]], the show's creator, was interviewed by [[M.

This article details the family and relatives of characters in the show. For other relationships explored in the series, see relationships.

Contents

Applejack

Main article: Apple family
See also: Apple Bloom, Big McIntosh, Granny Smith, and Bright Mac and Pear Butter

Mr. and Mrs. Cake

Carrot Cake and Cup Cake are husband and wife, respectively.

Children

Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake

Baby Cakes wondering what Pinkie is doing S2E13

Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake.

Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake are introduced in the episode Baby Cakes. The main six are shocked to learn that Pound Cake is a Pegasus while Pumpkin Cake is a unicorn, though Mr. Cake explains it away as due to distant familial relations in both his and Mrs. Cake's lineages. The twins appear in multiple subsequent episodes and other media.

Relatives

In Baby Cakes, Mr. Cake mentions his great-great-great-great grandfather, a unicorn, and Mrs. Cake's great aunt's second cousin twice removed, a Pegasus.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna

Leon is introduced in the French My Little Pony magazine

Léon and Vladímir.

Sparkling Sea King Leo on throne

King Leo on his throne.

Four of the mentioned members of the royal family are Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Prince Blueblood and Princess Cadance. Multiple episodes state that Luna is Celestia's younger sister; The Ticket Master states that Blueblood is Celestia's nephew, though his trading card lists his family link to Luna and Celestia as being "far removed"; various promotional materials state that Cadance is Celestia's niece, and the chapter book My Little Pony: Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell specifies that Celestia adopted her as a niece.

On My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #5 page 16, after Luna says that something she had hoped would never come to pass is happening, Pinkie Pie attempts to guess what it is, with one guess being "Realize your mom was right about everything?!"; Luna responds to each guess with "No." The picture book My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea shows a sea lion called King Leo, who rules the underwater city of Aquastria and its seaponies and mermares; the book's dust jacket states that King Leo "sits on the Cosmic Council alongside his cousin, Princess Celestia."[1] One of the illustrated stories in the official My Little Pony magazine in France shows Celestia having a four-year-old cousin called Léon, an Alicorn who shares Blueblood's color scheme and cutie mark and Rainbow Dash's base character model. The magazine story's narrative does not fit into the animated series.

​[​citation needed​]​

Lauren Faust, the show's creator, stated that Celestia does not have parents that outrank her,[2] that Luna and Celestia have no siblings and no children, and that Blueblood is "the great great great great great great great great great great great (and probably even more greats) nephew on Celestia's and Luna's mother's side, about 52 times removed, roughly speaking."[3] Early drafts of My Little Pony The Movie were going to introduce Cosmos, a brother for Celestia and Luna, but the character was eventually reworked into Tempest Shadow.
