Guest 3p1c d3m0n Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Considering that Applejack lives on a familyfarm, why haven't Applejack's parents been shown? Did they Die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,277 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Because she is obviously an orphan. She lives with her grandmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a stranger 7,983 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This will probably be indicated in the future, alongside similar veins to the fact that Rainbow Dash has no observed or indicated nuclear or biological family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,916 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Perhaps they don't live with Applejack and have a different farm in another area of Equestria? Or perhaps they decided to skip out on the farming because that wasn't their special talents, and live in a more citylike place like Manehattan. I don't really think they're dead though.

Lyra Heartstrings1 53 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) She lives with her grandmother. So, like finethour said, she's a orphan. Edited December 27, 2011 by Lyra Heartstrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishUnicorn 284 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yeah I'm gonna have to go with the idea that Applejack is an orphan, I guess it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinyl Scratch 256 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The only potential appearance was that Equestrian Gothic picture from "The Cutie Pox." Could just be a picture, though. Maybe Applejack running away in "The Last Roundup" is connected to her parents visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
Knight Shadrahk 158 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Maybe they abandoned her, and Granny Smith found her and raised her as her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83awsm 233 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I was JUST considering this same question... I started to ask myself the question I saw when applejack's reflection on her past in the CMChronicles. We see the flashback of her as a filly, leaving the farm with only Granny Smith and Macintosh present. The question that rose from her non-present parents for me was when did Applebloom come into the picture? and if Applejack was aodpted before applebloom, does that make them technically not biologically related? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock 91 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 uhh, no. they just haven't shown them, and perhaps they were on vacation when she left? I dunno but an orphan seems too serious for a show like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonka 39 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Maybe it's just like in the case of Rarity; They're alive, but they live else were while Applejack, her brother, sister, and her grandmother lives together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGazer 129 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Maybe her mom got pregnant at a young age, dumped her, Big Mac and Applebloom off with Granny Smith "just until she could get her life together" and never returned, save for the odd Christmas visit or to stop by to say "hello" and grab Granny Smith's money. That or else my vote is on them being apple business ponies who are frequently away on business trips overseas to sell apples to foreign ponies. Granny Smith watched the kids while mom and dad were away and since she's getting old, she turned over running of the farm to Applejack and Big Macintosh. Apple Bloom doesn't yet know it but she will one day be the overseas sales rep for Sweet Apple Acres. Those are just my theories but I think it make sense as far as Applejack's take charge, responsible, motherly attitude 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallow 1,132 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) From Lauren Faust's FAQ on Deviantart. "Where are Applejack's parents? To put it bluntly, we just never figured it out. I just liked the feeling of them living with their Granny, but keeping the family dynamic tight and small. To be honest, I would like to simply say that they passed away somehow, but it's justit would have likely been deemed too sad for a kids' show and I don't think it would have ever been approved. There was brief discussion of them being traveling salesponies or explorers, but since we never needed the information in an episode, nothing was ever made official. So it will have to remain a mystery until someone decides to define it." Edited December 28, 2011 by Marshmallow 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,165 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I like the explorer angle. Maybe mom and dad are trekking across Equestria, planting apple seeds wherever they go! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges 2
