![]() We see just how protective Applejack is of her remaining family members and how motherly she is to Apple Bloom. I think that's all the info we need on the subject. While no one else on the show has come out and explicitly stated that AJ's parents kicked the bucket, storyboard artist Sisby alluded to it on Twitter when she was asked specifically about whether or not the shooting stars in Apple Family Reunion were meant to represent the apple parents. She wanted their relationship to be close, and it showed within their characterization. Lauren skirted around the conveyance of it with the Apple Family, which she said was merely a family with a grandmother, older brother, older sister, and younger filly sister. "Who has a more tragic backstory: Applejack or Scootaloo?"Īpplejack's parents were always supposed to be deceased. In case anyone STILL needs convincing that Applejack's parents are confirmed deceased, have this summary from the just recent LA Con from word of god herself, Lauren Faust: Neither were Pinkie Pie's"Īnd here's the Sibsy quote, for good measure: Rarity's parents, for example, where never planned until we needed then for the episode. For details like that I would usually wait until a story warranted a definition, then define it according to the needs of the story. I never did sketch any of the parents, and only had vague ideas of who they were or what they did. I was holding out to see if those restrictions would change. We often ponder what could have been in contrast of what actually happened.Ī: I did want AJ's parents to have passed away, but I never defined it (when I was running it) because I didn't think they would allow it. " Q: Ok, I have a question for Faust on behalf of /mlp/ĭid you ever made any sketch or character concept of A.J, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's parents, or they were just meant to stay offscreen? So it will have to remain a mystery until someone decides to define it." 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. To be honest, I would like to simply say that they passed away somehow, but it's just it would have likely been deemed too sad for a kids' show and I don't think it would have ever been approved. I just liked the feeling of them living with their Granny, but keeping the family dynamic tight and small. To put it bluntly, we just never figured it out. Just so we're not going off of hearsay here, I went and got the actual Faust quotes, courtesy of the MLP Wikia's citation links. ![]()
