The only one left is Rainbow Dash and Dumbbell’s family… some of the characters might be getting a rehaul or there might be an addition… we’ll see ;)This took years lol XDAs per usual, the ponies are listed in order from left to right and each is accompanied with a little fact about them!Golden “Goldie” Glory - Pale brown unicorn stallion with golden hair, horn, and hooves - Goldie (more often than not nicknamed “Pretty Boy”) was a surprise to the family when he was born with seemingly genuine gold hooves and an interestingly shaped golden horn. He seems to have enhanced magic as well, and it’s speculated that Starswirl’s* magic is strong in him. His talent is diplomacy- he’s taking over the “throne” of Blueblood.(First Light) Radio Silence - Granny Smith look-alike, but a stallion - Radio Silence isn’t his given name. His legal name is First Light, but he goes by Si. Due to his kirin heritage, he has a shaggy mane that grows down his neck like a kirin’s mane. However, he keeps it shaved short, otherwise it will get overgrown and too hard to take care of. His talent is anything related to the radio, whether it be reporting, talking, or mixing music.Morning Brew - Brown stallion with a swirly pattern on his coat - Morning Brew is the sweetest barista everyone loves to talk to. He’s definitely a morning person, which is good, considering his name is Morning. Only problem is he usually gets really tired by mid-afternoon and got a repuation of falling asleep at any time after that, in any place. His talent is, unsurprisingly, coffee-related drink making.Applejacqueline - YOU ALL KNOW HER - The matriarch of the family, set to co-own Sweet Apple Acres, maker of baked goods… and mom extraordinnare. AJ knows exactly how to wrangle in her kids and get them all quiet and attentive. Both Autumn Blaze and Blueblood are impressed by the speed at which the kids would shut up when she called them all to attention. (Also, her mane is actually dark brown… but she dyes it. Don’t tell Rarity!)Autumn Blaze - YOU ALL KNOW HER - Autumn is the ever-chipper “fun mom” and doesn’t hesitate to take her kids’ side when AJ or Blueblood is being a bit more harsh on them. Don’t ever get on her bad side though, because no one wants to face the Nirik. Unsurprisingly, she’s good friends with Pinkie and they hang out quite often!Blueblood - YOU ALL KNOW HIM - Blueblood, otherwise known as Blue (or Bluebutt, as his friends like to call him), is the royal-turned-farmboy that fell for not one but two mares who have given him all the loving he never thought he’d get. His talent is adventuring, but no one would know that because he had repressed it for so long. Now he’s free to travel, and he does, but more often than not, he’s helping around on the farm. Before he would never set a hoof near mud, but now, he finds himself enjoying rolling in it. His younger self would be appalled!Hearthfire “Mothball” Flicker - Tiny red and orange stallion doing the little blep - Mothball is the smallest out of the Apple family, but he’s definitely not the youngest. In fact, he’s full grown, but taking more after his Mama Autumn in size. He seems to be the most Kirin out of all the kids, with the mane and twisted horn; the only thing missing is the scaled plating on his nosebridge and shoulders! He sheds his horn every year like Autumn does. His brothers don’t lose their horns, so he was extremely surprised (and terrified) when his just… popped off. Oops. His talent is making cozy things like blankets and such, though he works as a camp counsellor more often than not.Winesap - Pale greenish-brown stallion with the smooth horn and dark red mane - Winesap is the eldest of all the children, and has more often than not become the shoulder to cry on. The other siblings come to him for advice, and he’s willing to give it; he’s also pleasant to be around because he just exudes a chill aura. When stressed, just hang out with him, and he’ll keep you entertained. His talent is exporting apple goods to other cities.Milkweed Bloom - Light orange mare with darker orange spotting and nearly-white mane - Milkweed Bloom (just call her Milly) is the sweet only daughter of the trio. It doesn’t bother her though, and while she may have been a tomboy in her youth, she takes on a very feminine roll in her adulthood as a surrogate for ponies in need, as well as foalcare. Due to this job, she doesn’t have the most slender of bodies, but it doesn’t bother her one bit.Daybreak Doze - Stallion with the tuftless, blue-wrapped tail and orange mane - Dozey is another very laid back Apple sibling, but not because he really wants to, but rather because he has a case of chronic tiredness. Despite this aspect of himself, he’s very competitive and driven, though he sticks around the farm to help out because of his selfless nature. He refuses to be paid despite technically being employed. His talent is pest removal (but he keeps all the rats :3).*In my headcanon, Starswirl is Granny Smith’s grandfather.Some of the kids aren’t related to all three of the parents! Here’s a quick rundown:
Biologically all three: Radio Silence, Morning Brew, and Daybreak Doze
