Character
Name: Applejack
Series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Timeline: After the defeat of Discord (Post episode 2 of season 2)
Canon Resource Links: Wiki
Human Form: Here
Personality:
Strong and dependable, Applejack represents the Element of Honesty within her group of friends. If you’re in need, you can bet that she’ll be the first to offer her hoof, no matter what. Even if her schedule is packed beyond capacity, she’s more than happy to drop what she’s doing in order to assist a friend. However, this dependability is an offshoot of her stubbornness, as AJ has the tendency to overwork herself out of pride. The most prominent example occurs during the episode “Applebuck Season”, where she takes on her farm’s entire workload during the titular harvest season after her older brother is injured, working several days with little or no sleep, while still doing her best to help her friends in various situations, with disastrous results. Though she learned her lesson in the episode’s climax, the pony’s pride is still her greatest downfall.
A stereotypical tomboy, Applejack is as rough-and-tumble as it gets. To her, there’s nothing better than a day of hard work, and understands that getting dirty is a part of life. Living on the farm among the cattle and trees is the perfect life for her. However, don’t believe for a second that she’s just a classless cowgirl. As a filly, she left the farm in an attempt to learn her meaning in life, and spent an undetermined amount of time living with her Aunt and Uncle in Manehattan (the show’s equivalent of New York City) learning to become a debonair socialite. She was doing well, too, even going as far as learning to talk without her signature southern drawl. However, this prim and proper lifestyle proved too stressful for the young pony, and she eventually made her way back home. Still, some of the etiquette rubbed off on her, as she has no problem with scolding you for breaking rules she feels are important enough to bring up. “Sweating the small stuff” is something this pony tries to avoid.
Strengths (+) & Weaknesses (-):
(+) Strength: AJ is one of Ponyville’s finest athletes. She’s strong enough and fast enough to compete with Rainbow Dash, who is often considered the fastest in Equestria, in physical competition. One kick from her hind legs is enough to knock every apple from a full grown tree, and she has enough endurance to keep bucking until the rest of her body quits on her.
(+) Skill: Spending nearly her entire life on the farm has given her an amazing prowess with a lasso, to the point where it almost becomes an extra set of hands – if she had hands, that is.
(+) Honesty: Widely considered “the loyalest of friends and most dependable of ponies” (her own quote), Applejack will gladly give aid to those who need it –as long as you’re respectful enough, that is.
(-) Humanity: Like it or not, Applejack is stuck as a human now. Though her skill and athleticism is still around, her pony strength is long gone. She’ll have a tough time adjusting to human limitations.
(-) Brash: Being honest also comes with sometimes telling people things they don’t want to hear. Sometimes she’ll put these things a little more bluntly than she probably should. Also, her attention to respect will cause her to call out those who are rude or disrespectful. She’ll fight someone over it, if she has to, even if the end result pits her up against someone bigger, stronger, and meaner than her.
(-) Pride: As stated above, Applejack has a lot of pride. She holds herself in high regard, and won’t back down from a challenge. She’ll work until her body breaks if that’s what it takes for her to complete what she says she’s going to complete.

First Person Sample:
[Hello, people of Johto. Today you’re in for a treat. The journal feed opens rather abruptly, as the force of a flying Magikarp shakes the screen. A frustrated southern belle sits patiently at the shoreline, an old rod in her hand.]
Alright, y’all. What’s with all these here Magikarp? I’ve been fishin’ here all day, and the only thing nibblin’ are these useless bottom-feeders.
[She taps her chin a couple times.] Maybe if I catch one, it’ll scare the rest of ‘em away, ‘r somethin’.
[She digs though her bag, shuffling her way through the disarray inside, eventually retrieving a pokeball. Aiming at the fish that hit her pokegear, she boredly tosses the ball. It shakes a couple times, before clicking shut. Applejack bends over and picks up the ball, presenting it to the camera and speaking quickly:] Alright, y’all, listen up. This here’s Rainbow Dash. Empty headed son… [She mumbles to herself, plopping the unfortunate fish into her bag before retrieving her rod.]
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go catch me somethin’ worth seein’!
[She has no idea what she’s getting herself into.]
Third Person Sample:
It was a morning in Johto, just like any other. Applejack arose with the sun, slowing bringing herself up out of bed. Sleep still wasn’t coming to her easily. Being so far away from home put too many thoughts in her head.Worrisome thoughts. She had spent more time in bed tossing and turning than she had sleeping, and even then, her body jerked and shook with every thought in her head. Her hair was a mess, but she shrugged it off. No sense in getting cleaned up just yet, with work to do. Changing out of her pajamas, she was thankful that she was able to find a place to stay, and somewhere to work on the local farm. It wasn’t Sweet Apple Acres, but it’d do. The Miltank weren’t too far off from the cows back home, either; aside from the occasional rollout, that is.
She made her way into the barn, finding the pile of hay she had left herself the night before. She’d need to bail it up before moving it outside so the Miltank could have their breakfast. Taking a hold of the nearby pitchfork, she began to lift the hay into the bailer. Eventually, the first completed bail fell from the machine, and she set aside her pitchfork to come inspect it. Perfection was more Rarity’s thing, but it just wouldn’t be right to give those cows too small of a breakfast. Checking the sides and top to make sure everything was right, she pauses, before taking a stalk and placing it between her teeth. It was a familiar taste, one of her favorites, in fact. But it wasn’t human nature to eat hay, so it was a taste she had to do without for some time. Still, it didn’t keep the memories of home from flooding back into her mind. All the good times, the bad times, and especially her family and friends. She tipped her hat forward, shading her face from view. She would never admit it, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, if only for a second.
Apple Bloom, Granny, Big McIntosh… I hope y’all ‘re doin’ well…
