Name: Apple Basket
Nicknames: Bushel
Talent: Basketball / Accurately throwing stuff
Parents: Rainbow Dash + Applejack

The first child of Rainbow Dash and Applejack, she was born right before they got married. Not because her arrival made them feel rushed- but because Rainbow finally took a few months off from her work as a Wonderbolt in order to help out with the baby, and they wanted to get married before Rainbow went dashing off again.

She didn’t see Rainbow Dash much when she was a filly, owing to Wonderbolts’ packed schedule. So, she spent much of her childhood helping out on the farm with her brother and the rest of the family. She idolized Rainbow Dash for a time, but as she got older, she became bitter towards her often absent mother and towards the farm she lived on. She got her cutie mark when she was having some fun while sorting apples (something Applejack often scolded her for, since tossing the apples around sometimes left them bruised)- she was tossing them into baskets and barrels from across the room, even doing trick shots by bouncing them off of her wings, and making them in with startling accuracy. When her cutie mark appeared, she was a bit shocked. It was an apple flying into a basket. A cutie mark that meant her one and only super special talent was… sorting apples.

Yippee.

Applejack was delighted that her daughter’s talent pointed towards a future on the family farm, and although Apple Basket tried her best to be happy, too, the thought made her miserable.
