Background:
Born into a pure-bred country family, Applejack quickly learned that honesty is the best quality she could have, and, like any little filly, grew close to her parents. Perhaps, too close, for some things are too good to last...
It was with great excitement that Applejack learned that she would be a big sister. She promised her mother that she would protect her sister with her life, if needed. Pear Butter, who couldn't bring herself to tell her what was really happening... You see, near the end of Pear Butter's last term, she grew ill. Very ill... And, the strain of birth took her life. Broken and deprived, Applejack shielded her grieving heart with a wall of silence, refusing to talk about her mother to anypony: Even her own family.
Sadly, her father's grief got the better of him as well. Longing for his love, he sat in his room, yearning for a solution. It was with hesitation that he eyed the pistol on the nightstand that he kept for protection: a gift from his father years before. And, with a loud bang, he took his life to be with his lost love.
This only made poor Applejack's thick walls thicker. She refuses to talk about anything relating to her parents. She'll rarely talk about them to her sister, who barely knew them, forcing Applebloom to scrape together as much information as she could from her other family members, slowly painting a picture of what her parents were like.
It was only after meeting her five friends that these walls opened, and she finally shared her memories of her parents. Nowadays, she hides nothing from her friends in family, knowing exactly how much damage it can do to a pony.
