Guest 3p1c d3m0n December 26, 2011 Share 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...

Arylett Charnoa 4,919 December 27, 2011 Share 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.

ScottishUnicorn 284 December 27, 2011 Share 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 262 December 27, 2011 Share 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. "YEAH! I'm the mayor of Jam City!" - Director Bullock (Patrick Stewart), American Dad!

Knight Shadrahk 159 December 27, 2011 Share December 27, 2011 Maybe they abandoned her, and Granny Smith found her and raised her as her own. Did you ever think I get lonely?

83awsm 234 December 27, 2011 Share 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 Awesomeness = at least 20% Cooler.

Spock 91 December 27, 2011 Share 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. I am, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof, and incapable of error.

Wonka 39 December 28, 2011 Share 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.

StarGazer 129 December 28, 2011 Share 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 1,137 December 28, 2011 Share 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 "There was me, that is Pinkie, and my three droogs, that is Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy, and we sat in the Ponyville Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."
