Could Applejack wield the other Elements of Harmony?

[RainbowTashie 379]

who here thinks Applejack could weild all the elements other than magic

honesty-duh

loyalty-she will always be there for you

kindness-when has she never been kind?

generosity-helping all the ponies with anything they ask of her

 

hell she even works magic with her fancy hoofwork!

@, just so you know, I have slightly edited your topic title. I have done this so that others have a clearer idea of the thread's content (and to also promote greater discussion).

 

Regarding your point, I have to agree with you to some extent. I have always believed that AJ could have easily wielded the Element of Loyalty as well as/instead of her own Element. However, whilst Applejack does consistently demonstrate the qualities associated with the other elements, I would say that each pony sufficiently justifies their connection to their Element (and that the others similarly display the qualities of the other Elements). I do think AJ is a very well rounded pony and exhibits a diverse set of qualities associated with the other Elements, especially Loyalty and Kindness (and Generosity actually, as her motivation for Apple sales seems to centre on the benefit of others such as her family). In conclusion, Applejack is a wonderful pony

yeah that's fine it was a bit vauge i would agree all ponies are deserving of the element they represent but i think AJ is slightly more subtle and modest with showing off her good qualities;If anything that makes her even more viable to weild more than one element she is just the nicest pony. I guess that not many people like her because they think she lacks character development. I think they're wrong she never does anything for herself she even tried to work in a cherry farm to raise funds for her family, and the only reason she strayed from her element was she couldn't bear to disappoint Granny Smith.i especially like RD and AJ's competitive relationship

All of them are (more or less) generous, kind, loyal etc.

But the elements represent the main quality of each mane 6.

I don't think Applejack could wield the element of laughter or the element of generosity (for example), they aren't her main qualities.

Yeah they, or anybody for that matter, shows all those elements at different times. Everybody shows love, but Cadance is the Princess of Love. Twilight is different in that she displayed all of them and showed leadership that makered her as a true princess. Also, if friendship is magic than she embodies all the elements by simply being the element of magic. Think about that! Everypony can be all the elements, but the mane six are the standard barerers.
