Whew. It’s no secret that Applejack is best pony and my absolute favorite character from anything. Usually, when I want to draw, I can draw her doing anything. However, the snag with this one was: armor in the desert, how does that work? Armor gets hot. Armor is usually made of metal. Armor is heavy and results in this in loose sand. As such, I decided that she was going to have to be lightly armored but it took a while to figure out how that would look. Full plate shin guards, full plate left arm and hand with a shield bracer, and finally, a chain mail skirt. It’s all she can really afford to wear and still be remotely comfortable if she has to stand in the sun all day. She’s essentially ‘Celestia’s bodyguard’ so her casual clothes and her armor are one in the same.  
The ax she carries was given to her by the king as a gift for devoting herself to his first born daughter.

Habits: Out drinking soldiers. Plays to win, but doesn’t bother playing games with her Princess anymore (she’s a sore loser.). Trains new recruits, often looking for new talent to join her at her Princess’ side, though none have yet to pass her strict requirements. Often found in the kitchen, “secretly” teaching Celestia to cook. Helps Celestia wherever possible, stubbornly refuses to let her do something dumb. Often wonders who is really older between her princess and herself.
 
Mentality: Is secretly an old man in the body of a large, physically superior woman.
 
Weakness: Longs for the day she can find a man of equal or better skill than herself to make her his bride. Gets into drunken fights frequently. Hates her height and her strength if only because it makes men see her like one of them and not as a woman. Distrusts magic. Her philosophy goes, “All magic is good fer is killin’ folks. Only time ya ever use magic is ta defend against it.”
 
Likes: Loves to farm. She comes from a family of farmers that were relocated to the capital due to a war effort two generations back and have had close ties with the Iscandors since. She grew up with Celestia and was raised to be at her side. The two have been best friends since childhood.
