Applejack and Winona, her dog.
Applejack is a brave, reliable, strong, mature, and hard-working
pony, although headstrong about doing things on her own. In the episode Applebuck Season, she insists on tackling the annual apple harvest all by herself while her brother Big McIntosh
recovers from an injury. Big McIntosh doubts her ability to complete
the seemingly insurmountable task, but Applejack is determined. After
she diverts a cattle stampede that was headed toward Ponyville,
the townsfolk hold a ceremony in her honor, where her close friends
champion her helpfulness. She receives her trophy without much fanfare
and goes back to her applebucking. She becomes exhausted, but continues
to buck trees and repeatedly refuses Twilight Sparkle's
many offers of assistance. She eventually faints at the sight of the
scores of apple trees she still has to harvest, and finally looks past
her pride and accepts help from her friends. It is shown in Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
that she truly learned this lesson, as she was touched by her friend's
offers to help as 'honorary family members' and immediately accepts.
The Apple Family. In Apple Family Reunion,
when Granny Smith gives the job of hosting the reunion to Applejack,
she is determined to host as many activities as she can so they can
create many good memories. However, despite her good intentions,
Applejack becomes too caught up in her planning to realize that the most
important thing about the reunion is to bond with your family.
Eventually, she learns her lesson, and brings the family back together
to raise the demolished barn.
Mannerisms
Applejack speaks with a Southern American accent, a thick southern drawl, similar to the accent of the southwestern Missouri and Oklahoma Ozarks,
where there is a great number of apple orchards. In numerous episodes,
she refers to her friends and family as "sugarcube" as a sign of
affection.
She has no reservations about getting dirty or messy or having any proper eating etiquette, much to Rarity's dismay during a sleepover in Look Before You Sleep, walking in Twilight's library with muddy hooves, chewing with her mouth open and burping, and unwilling to bother with making the bed. Applejack says in A Dog and Pony Show, "Now I'm used to pickin' myself up and dustin' myself off, but Rarity won't even touch mud unless it's imported."
In Sisterhooves Social, Applejack does not take offense when Rarity calls the competition held at the Apple farm "uncouth". Applejack simply tells Sweetie Belle that her big sister Rarity thinks everything is
uncouth, but that she will come around in time. She gently offers
Rarity advice on how to compromise and better get along with Sweetie
Belle, which Rarity gratefully accepts.
Applejack dislikes things that are "girly", like the froufrou dresses in Suited for Success. Applejack describes in a flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles how she tried being a pony of elegance for a short time as a young filly by moving to Manehattan
to live with her Aunt and Uncle Orange, but ultimately decided to
return to the farm after she realized that she was homesick. When Apple Bloom starts speaking French in The Cutie Pox, Applejack says her sister is "speakin' in fancy".
Putting her hat on at the wedding.She
is almost always seen wearing a light brown stetson hat, which she
usually removes before sleeping, and is the only one of the six main
characters to keep her mane and tail tied back in a "ponytail".
Applejack takes great pride in her hat and usually won't go anywhere
without it. In the episode A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 she hastily puts on her hat over her headband while Rarity is busy crying for Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. During the episode The Mysterious Mare Do Well, Applejack is the only pony to keep the hat on when Rainbow Dash
realizes that it was her friends that were the hero stealing her
thunder. Also, in the many times that she has been made to wear a dress,
she usually has a revised version of her stetson. Even her handpicked
dress in Suited For Success had a hat, although it wasn't her normal one. Applejack also has more than one hat as shown in Magic Duel because Big McIntosh, Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, and Applejack herself are each wearing copies of the hat at the same time.
Impatience and giving in
Applejack and Rainbow Dash's rivalry during the Iron Pony competition
In Look Before You Sleep, she lets her feud with Rarity ruin Twilight Sparkle's sleepover; and in Fall Weather Friends,
she allows herself to become just as underhanded as Rainbow Dash in her
attempt to win. In both of these situations, she eventually lets go of
her pride and is the first to apologize. She is quick to argue with
Rainbow Dash in Over a Barrel, worsening the tension between the residents of Appleloosa and the buffalo.
In Applebuck Season,
she shows great resilience when being offered help, working herself
past exhaustion in the midst of trying to harvest the entire apple
orchard on her own. Her fatigue has shown through considerably by the
time she finally accepts assistance from her friends.
Applejack represents the element of honesty. Twilight Sparkle deduces this in Friendship is Magic, part 2, explaining that Applejack demonstrated her honesty when they faced their challenges against Nightmare Moon. Applejack finds it difficult to go against her natural honesty in Party of One when she has to lie about why she cannot attend Gummy's after-birthday party. She sweats and grins nervously under Pinkie Pie's scrutiny despite having the most credible excuse: needing to buck apples.
Applejack hypnotized by Discord's spell. In The Return of Harmony Part 1, Applejack is the first pony to be hypnotized and brainwashed by Discord,
causing her and her hat to turn into a greyer shade. Applejack becomes a
compulsive liar, throwing hurtful and sarcastic jabs at her friends.
Initially, her lies are not particularly convincing or malicious, but
they grow more ridiculous and harmful as the corruption intensifies. She
paid for one of her lies when she tells Rarity that Twilight told her
to split the rock and Rarity starts doing martial arts on her. Also when
she states that she doesn't know where Rarity was and in turn got beat
up by Twilight. She was also bowled over when Twilight was performing
the memory spell right after she asked "Where you went when I was
battlin' Discord?". This may also lead to believe that Applejack herself
might have believed her lies to an extent as she mention that she was
fighting Discord before to Granny Smith. She is also the first pony to
have her corruption cured by Twilight, and one of the first things she
does is apologize.
She also demonstrates her honesty in the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 when she admits that she and her friends and family had lost against the Flim Flam brothers.
Appetite

Granny Smith recalls the time when an Apple family relative found
Applejack as a foal eating all the apple fritters, showing that she had
the appetite of a "full-grown stallion".
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, which is first named in Applebuck Season. The examples of this include, but not limited to:
Applebuck Season: Even when she is sleep-deprived, Applejack clears all of the apples out of a tree in a single kick.
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.
My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Her human counterpart lifts a table up with one arm while it took two fairly large guys to lift up another.
It should be noted that in the episode Over a Barrel, the citizens of Appleloosa need to work in groups and kick multiple times to harvest apples from a single tree.
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.
Herding
She 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 herded the Pinkie Pies together as Twilight had instructed in Too Many Pinkie Pies.
During the royal wedding preparations, Applejack crafts a heart-shaped ice sculpture.
Experience as a Ponyville citizen
Throughout the series, 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."
Cutie mark
Applejack tells of how she left the apple farm. In Call of the Cutie, Applejack tells her sister that she was the last one in her class to get a cutie mark,
a trait that seems to run in their family; Granny Smith and Big
McIntosh were also the last ponies in their classes to get their cutie
marks. In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Applejack tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders
the story of how she got her cutie mark. It begins with a young
Applejack leaving the farm to live with her upper class relatives, the Oranges,
in a big city called Manehattan. However, she finds it hard to fit in
and becomes terribly homesick. The rainbow left in the wake of Rainbow
Dash's sonic rainboom
convinces her to return home. Applejack realizes that she truly belongs
in the family farm, and her cutie mark, three apples, appears.
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.
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.[3]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.[4] Faust stated she wanted that to be the case.[5]
