Description: Applejack is a hardworking and dependable friend who is known for her honesty. While she may tell the truth with care and tact, Applejack absolutely refuses to lie, due to her bad experiences with lying as a filly. In fact, her honesty makes me feel all the more guilty for not telling her about this file, but I continue in the hopes that she might agree with my intentions at least.

Besides her honesty, Applejack has several skills and abilities that might make her a difficult opponent. She is an outstanding athlete, despite not competing much professionally (with an exception for rodeo). Furthermore, Applejack has attained powerful hind legs from a lifetime of apple bucking, making her capable of jumping long distances and delivering a powerful kick (which I've been on the receiving end of by accident... it's not pleasant). In addition, she can stay extremely calm under pressure, and often hides emotions like sadness or anger.

Possible Counters: Applejack's impressive physical abilities make attacking her directly impractical. Although her physical defenses are strong, Applejack does have several psychological weaknesses that could make her easy to contain or exploit. As much as Applejack's honesty is a strength, it is also a weakness. Though she may of course simply refuse to answer a question, with the proper interrogation tactics one could confuse her enough that she may accidentally give a truthful answer that could divulge valuable information. Alternatively challenging her honesty may lead to Applejack becoming distressed and likely to slip up verbally or in combat.

However Applejack's greatest weakness is her loyalty to her family. Having grown up on Sweet Apple Acres among several family members, Applejack has a deeply rooted connection to her family, particulary Granny Smith, her older brother Big Macintosh, and most importantly, her little sister Applebloom (see file on Cutie Mark Crusaders for further information). If Applejack were to believe any of her family members were in danger, she would rush to save them without thinking. Her unbalanced mental state would make her especially vulnerable to a trap, however one must be wary that she will be under an adrenaline rush of panic, and may have increased physical abilities. It would be best to lure her into an abandoned area and simply stun her with a spell before she can react.
