Though the original Elements of Harmony artifacts were lost many years ago, an older Princess Twilight Sparkle proposed an idea to her friend and former student, Sunset Shimmer: if the Element analogue Geodes from her world were to be brought over to Equestria, perhaps the magic of the Elements could be reignited. Sunset, who had been considering a permanent move back to Equestria by this point anyway to raise her family, complied–and the Elements of Harmony (though now with an added seventh Element, Empathy) would soon be reborn into the world through seven foals, rather than re-manifesting as magical artifacts. This time, not only were the Element bearers embodiments of their Elements, but the physical forms of them as well.
 
The daughters of Applejack and Coloratura, Honeycrisp and Jazz Apple are only a year apart in age and have been close their whole lives. Upon discovering that Honeycrisp was the new bearer and embodiment of the Element of Kindness, her sister is nothing but supportive of her, and immensely proud of her younger sibling for the important role she holds in keeping Equestria safe.
