Character
Name: Applejack
Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Gender: Female
Age: Let's just go with young adult. >>
Time Period: After "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000"
Wing Color: Light orange to match her fur
History: Have a pony wiki!
Personality: AJ is, above all else, honest. The embodiment of Honesty for the Elements of Harmony, to be exact. She's a down-home pony who earns an honest living working on her family farm. She very rarely, if ever, lies, and when she does sheis a terrible liar ends up apologizing profusely for it once she spills the truth. This doesn't mean she isn't stubborn as a mule (pointed out in one episode much to the bemusement of a nearby mule), but AJ is normally a very honest and trustworthy pony.
Her relationship with her family is very close and they mean the world to her. She lives with her Granny Smith, big brother Big Macintosh, and little sister Apple Bloom, and constantly looks out for all three. One of her biggest concerns is earning enough money to keep the family farm booming, even going so far as to try to pull in an entire apple harvest by herself when Big Mac was injured once. This led to days, if not a couple weeks, with little to no sleep, which she didn't begrudge anyone.
Applejack is also a very helpful pony, and loves to lend a hoof to anyone in need. Even when she was running nearly on empty from the above lack of sleep, she kept pushing herself to help out her friends. She's earned recognition from the town a few times for always being there for others. Despite the recognition, though, she never lets it go to her head, and is normally very humble.
But she's still very competitive. It tends to come out against Rainbow Dash, who likes to compete against AJ for the challenge involved. AJ always plays fair... that is, until the other pony starts to cheat, in which case she'll toss caution and integrity to the winds and stoop to their level.
Hard-working, reliable, honest, and very family-oriented, Applejack is the kind of pony that makes friends with nearly everyone and takes in just about anypony as family (see her introduction to Twilight Sparkle for that, or Sweetie Belle adopting her as her big sister). She can be a little set in her ways sometimes - stubbornly staying on the side of the Appleloosans rather than listening to the buffalo's complaints, for example - but if shown reason, she'll submit to the greater good.
Strengths:
Physical: AJ is very, very strong physically. She may be only an earth pony, but years of applebucking and farm work have made her very sturdy and strong. Her legs are so strong that she can stop a speeding carriage from careening downhill just by planting her forelegs and holding her hind hooves out to catch it. She manages to harvest half of her massive farm's apples on her own while running on a lack of sleep as well. She and Rainbow Dash even get into an Iron Pony competition at one point, which AJ would have won easily if Rainbow hadn't resorted to using her wings in challenges to get an advantage. She can hold her own very well. Very fast and very strong, as well as agile, shown in her prowess in various rodeo competitions.
Also, she is a cartoon pony and is thus very durable. She jumps off an incredibly high platform and right into the ground several times in a row in one episode and doesn't injure anything.
Mental: While she may not be the most booksmart pony in Equestria, Applejack has a good and sound mind. She's good at spotting trouble and when there isn't any danger -- for example, while she cowers from Princess Luna during the Nightmare Night festival, she recovers quickly once Twilight Sparkle explains what's going on. She's also a great businesspony, and is able to keep her head even when things start to go absolutely crazy (like when her little sister bet the family farm against the Flim Flam brothers).
Emotional: Very sure of herself and difficult to ruffle up to a point where she loses control of her emotions. She realizes when she's getting worked up and is normally able to calm herself back down. Even when furious at the thought that Rainbow Dash was cheating at a race between them once, she still cooled down as soon as it was pointed out that she tripped on a rock and not Rainbow's hoof. She also has no problem with compromising for friends or family, and even gives Rarity advice on how to be a good big sister.
Weaknesses:
Physical: Just a regular earth pony. Compared to her unicorn and pegasus friends, that's a big disadvantage.
Mental: As mentioned before, she's not the brightest. When her brother presents her with the simple equation of "One pony plus hundreds of trees just doesn't add up" during her attempted solo apple harvest, AJ tells him not to use his fancy mathematics to muddy up the issue. She's got a lot of common sense, but book learning is not her strong point.
Emotional: Once she's worked up, it's hard to get her calmed down completely. When Rarity pushes her buttons during Twilight Sparkle's sleepover, for example, Applejack stays irritated for almost the entire night. She also hates to admit when she's lost, as shown in The Last Roundup when she refuses to come home for fear of admitting that she lost at the rodeo competitions, and how she refuses any help with the apple harvest until she's all but collapsing from exhaustion.
