My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Who you calling background pony?

Don't know why some fans call bull on the honorable family bit. They close friends that been through tough times together. So them being seen as family isn't that hard to believe.

Funnily enough, Applejack is also the only character whose development hasn't gone back and forth, I also think she has less episodes because she is character not to get into problems because she doesn't have a over-the-top character gimmick like the rest of the mane six.
