Character: Applejack Canon: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
Interesting facts about the character: -Applejack's element of friendship, her purpose, is honesty. That sometimes translates into biting statements, but she doesn't mean anything bad by it, honest. Unless she thinks you're a swindler or hurting her friends. -She and Rainbow Dash share the same voice actress, Ashleigh Ball, who is also a professional singer in a band: Hey Ocean! Ashleigh does her own singing for AJ and Rainbow, and it sounds awesome. -With all that time spent building up her strength to buck apples, Applejack's one of the strongest ponies in Equestria. One kick can knock every single apple from a tree. -The show's creator and original executive producer, Lauren Faust, wanted to do the show as an update of the G1 ponies from the 1980s. Unfortunately, Hasbro lost its trademark on all the 80s characters except AJ and Spike. Years ago, her deviantArt page had fanart of updated versions of the G1 ponies that eventually got recolored as the FiM designs. It's all laid out here, and note that the only change to Applejack is the addition of a hat (that the merchandise people keep forgetting to add!) -G1 Applejack is...really not very much like this AJ. She's totally clumsy, keeps making messes, and has 'no horse sense'. A serious and hardworking pony like G4 Applejack would probably be frustrated with her.
