Personality
Applejack, the element of Honesty
As a representation of the spirit of the element of honesty, Applejack is one of the most honest ponies in Equestria. She cares about her friends and family very much. Applejack can get a bit overprotective of her younger sister, Apple Bloom and to an extension, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo.
Applejack can be stubborn at times, but she always ends up giving into her stubbornness. For example, she clashed with Flutershy on how to handle a swarm of vampire fruit bats which inadvertently caused Fluttershy to become a bat herself. After curing Fluttershy, Applejack decides to follow her friend's advice and decides to give a portion of the orchards to the bats to benefit both herself and the animals.
She is also quite honest, as Twilight points this out when they confronted Nightmare Moon in the series premiere. However, Discord used her honesty to her disadvantage and hypnotized her into being a selfish pony who became a liar. Initially, her lies are not particularly convincing or malicious, but they grow more ridiculous and harmful as the corruption intensifies. Applejack acted haughty during her time as "Discord Applejack," but returned to her kind nature when Twilight cured her.
Her honesty is something she shares with her father, Bright Mac when she and her siblings learn of their parents' love story.
Physical Appearance
Applejack is an orange Earth Pony with blond mane and tail. She has a cutie mark that bears three apples. She was the last in her class to gain her Cutie Mark, similar to her grandmother, older brother and younger sister.
Relationships
Rarity (Best Friend)
Rarity is one of Applejack's best friends, but they are polar opposites. While Applejack likes to get down and dirty, Rarity prefers to stay clean. However, both Applejack and Rarity are very hard-working ponies when it comes to their jobs. For example, the former always does hard work around the farm to help her family and Rarity often has to work hard on her costumes. Despite a small rivalry shown in Look Before You Sleep and arguing, they still help each other out. When Rarity was at odds with Sweetie Belle, Applejack gave her advice on how to mend her relationship with her sister and how to keep it strong.
Spike (Best Friend)
In "Spike At Your Service," Applejack saved Spike from a Timberwolf; in return, the dragon felt indebted to her, and swore undying loyalty to her by helping her out on the farm, as well as leaving Twilight's services. Despite Applejack politely trying to tell him that he doesn't need to serve her, she tried finding chores for him to do that weren't too dangerous because he hurt it more than helped it. Applejack faked a timber wolf attack but when she was really in danger, Spike saved her life and afterwards, Applejack told Spike how she felt about him helping her with every problem she had. Reconciling, the two agree if one ends up saving the other's life in the future, to say "that's what friends do" and leave it at that, on the condition that they try to avoid such situations. They seal the deal with a hoof/claw-bump.
