Personality/Background: Summer Rambo has a really relaxed personality. He has a welcoming and likeable presence, he never seems to be stressed about much. He keeps a calm and level head, and is an honest hard worker. Rambo has the personality of a natural born leader and often takes charge of a situation. Sometimes he can come off as bossy when trying to control a situation, but he means well. All he wants to do is help out the best he can. He tries to exhibit good traits and treats everyone he meets with a warm smile and respect. Summer Rambo is almost never seen angry, but when something does manage to push him over the edge, the rage is enough to send anyone running.

Summer Rambo is the oldest foal of Applejack and Rarity, and his conception was strange to say the least. Applejack and Rarity were in a relationship for a long while before the topic of children came up. Both of them being mares, it wasn’t possible for them to have a foal naturally. They went to Twilight to ask for a solution for their problem. They could always adopt, but Rarity always had the want to carry her own child. Twilight knew a spell that could change the gender of a pony for 24 hours, but it was extremely difficult. Twilight Sparkle had to study the spell for a long while, and it took a few attempts, but she finally managed to do it. Applejack became a stallion for 24 hours, and Summer Rambo came to be. He was born large and strong, just like he is during present day. Summer Rambo always tried his hardest around the farm, even when he was small. When Ambrosia was born, Rambo liked to take her around the orchards and help her practice apple bucking. Summer Rambo always looked up to his uncle Big Mac, and aspired to be as strong and hard working as him. One harvest season, the farm was falling behind schedule because Applejack was injured during a rodeo competition the week prior, so Summer Rambo stepped up and tried his very best to make up for his mother’s absence. After working through an entire night of bucking apples, as the sun began to rise, his cutiemark appeared. He was ecstatic and showed the entire family. Rambo holds a great pride in his mark and his place on the farm.

Special:

-Even though Rambo’s main place on the farm is harvesting apples, he always looks forward to making zap apple jam with his auntie Applebloom. It is one of their favorite times of the year.

-He is only called “Bobo” by his mama Rarity, and gets quite embarrassed if anyone also refers to him that way.

Ambrosia
Parents: Applejack and Rarity
Gender: Female
Species: Unicorn
Special Talent:</b> Chicken fancier, chicken husbandry, animal connection
Occupation: Chicken breeder/fancier, Sweet Apple Acres farmer
Nicknames: “Ammie”, “Henny”

Personality/Background:
Ambrosia’s outward appearance is delicate and modest farm mare. She is very polite and well spoken, and her soft southern accent is adored by many. She seems like the perfect southern belle, but there is much more to her than that. Ambrosia is highly competitive, stubborn, and bold. She’s a “think big, do bigger” kind of pony and has the determination like no other to meet the goals she has set.

Ambrosia is the youngest foal of Applejack and Rarity. She was conceived in the same manner as her older brother, but Applejack was the carrier this time around. And just like when their first foal was born, Applejack insisted on an apple related name. “It is an apple family tradition!” she said. Rarity reluctantly agreed, but only on the terms that she could choose “the most elegant apple name ever” for their little filly. Unlike her big brother, Ambrosia’s name didn’t end up to quite match the name she was given. She always looked up to her big and strong brother. She saw how proud Applejack was of what a fantastic apple bucker he became, and she couldn’t help but want to be just like him. Ambrosia was determined to earn an apple cutiemark. But, being born a unicorn, she did not inherit the earth pony strength from Applejack’s side. Ambrosia practiced constantly, kicking apple trees and trying to develop her strength. Most of the time she could only manage to knock down a handful of apples, but that didn’t discourage her. Her mother Rarity constantly told her daughter that it was perfectly okay to not get an apple cutiemark, her calling would come to her eventually and the family would love her no matter what appeared on her flank. After some help from her Auntie Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo, Ambrosia’s calling finally came to her. They had a whole day of testing different talent possibilities, and came up with no results. The day was coming to an end when Summer Rambo came running. The chickens had escaped! The chicken run gate was wide open and no bird was seen. Everyone went searching for the chickens, and eventually Ambrosia spotted one near the edge of the Everfree forest. Without thinking twice, she charged into the forest after the hen. Ambrosia spoke softly to the bird, and coaxed it out of a gnarly bush of thorns. The chicken seemed to understand her, and began to follow behind her for the rest of the search. Eventually she found all of the chickens, and led them back to the farm with all the birds following behind her. Once she arrived and sent the birds into their run, her mothers were practically in pieces. Rarity was crying and Applejack seemed furious. They scolded Ambrosia to absolutely ever run off into that dangerous forest, but before they could continue, Ambrosia’s mark appeared. It was then she knew was truly made her happy. Her new job at Sweet Apple Acres was caring for the chickens, and because of her, the farm’s egg revenue has skyrocketed. She even began to breed exotic breeds of chicken and take them to show. Ambrosia became very competitive and frequently brought home cash prizes to their farm. She has made a great name for herself in the agricultural side of Equestria despite being a unicorn, and in her adulthood is viewed as a master of her field.

Special:
-All of the apple bucking practice she managed to do as a filly made Ambrosia stronger than the average unicorn, but her strength still is nothing compared to the other Apples. But, this hasn’t stopped her from participated during apple bucking season.

-Although her talent has nothing to do with fashion, Ambrosia often goes to her mother Rarity to learn how to make beautiful dresses for her show hens. Ambrosia is quite awful at sewing, but she uses this time to spend time with her fashionista mom. As for Rarity, she loves the fact that one of her children is interested in her passion. Although she usually creates clothing for ponies, she finds that sewing for a chicken is an interesting experience.

-Ambrosia enjoys spending time with Fluttershy due to their similar talents. They love talking about animals and their capabilities to communicate with them, and have regular tea time. Discord was quite jealous that Fluttershy was having regular tea time with someone else, but over time he began to tolerate Ambrosia’s visits.
