Applejack: Sweet Apple Acres is a family owned and operated apple orchard. Earth Ponies going back generations have harvested and sold the apples from these trees. There are several Apple Family orchards in Equestria, but this is the one that sells to the Ponyville region.
Applejack: Now, my pony Applejack ain’t a ranger by trade – she’s a farmer girl through and through. But the country life has definitely given her a fair share of ranger experience. And now that she’s the current proprietor of Sweet Apple Acres…
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, yeah, hold on. “Applejack”? As in, y’know, “jacked” apple cider?
Pinkie Pie: Ooh! I LOVE good applejack!
Fluttershy: I’m… more of a wine person, myself.
Rarity: I don’t always consume spirits, but every so often I’ll have a brandy…
DM: Wow. Didn’t know we had so many connoisseurs at the table.
I'd just assumed that she'd get those bonuses to different skills instead, since apples can't exactly make Bluff, Move Silently, Hide, Listen, Spot, or Sense Motive checks... maybe Profession (cook), (farmer), etc. to cultivate trees, harvest apples, then bake, mash, or otherwise prep 'em. ^_^
...now I'm hungry for applesauce.
...huh. I actually read that instead of what was written. Right up until the 3rd recheck after reading the comments, even. -_- Failed Decipher Script check much...
Kinda funny that Pinkie Pie's comment, "Ooh! I LOVE good applejack!" in the comic came way before the episode "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" aired that establishes her as the pony who always gets to be first in line to buy cider from Sweet Apple Acres during cider season.
Applejack the pony was actually around in gen1, being the only character that Hasbro kept the copyright for. All of the other characters are based off of characters from that gen. Twilight Sparkle is Twilight, Rainbow Dash is Firefly, Fluttershy is Posey, Pinkie Pie is Surprise, and Rarity is Sparkler.
