Character Summary: On first glance, nopony would guess that the pegasus known as Sugar Apple is a member of the Apple family. Yet an Apple she is, born to a pegasus mother and an earth pony son of Apple Strudel. However, Sugar Apple’s parents didn’t quite see eye to eye at first on how to raise their daughter. While the father wanted Sugar Apple to be brought up and educated like most other Apple ponies, the mother thought her foal would be better off raised more like a conventional pegasus.

The matter resolved itself one special day when the young mischievous Sugar Apple, who hadn’t yet travelled far beyond her home, overindulged on apples coated in pink frosting and experienced a sugar high. Compelled by an exploration urge, the filly attempted to fly off to see the then-unknown countryside and the nearby city of Fillydelphia. Sugar Apple didn’t get far; with only rudimentary flight skills, she crashed within a minute of taking off. Not wishing to see his foal suffer more needless flying accidents, Sugar Apple’s dad agreed to let her stay with his sister-in-law in Cloudsdale to attend flight school. Before she left for school for the first time though, the filly learned for herself how make her apple confectionariese. Tasting her own handiwork and absolutely loving it, Sugar Apple vowed that no other treat would ever beat her own namesake treats. And so she earned her cutie mark that day..... in the middle of another sugar rush.

At flight school in Cloudsdale, the filly learned the fundamentals of flying and cloud manipulation. During most summers, Sugar Apple returned home to the Fillydelphia region and used her pegasus talents to aid her relatives. The one summer where Sugar Apple didn’t return home featured a stint at the Junior Speedsters’ Flight Camp, which teaches aspiring fliers advanced aerial maneuvers and aerobatics. The filly at the time aspired to become a Wonderbolt, hoping it would be her ticket to journey the land. Sugar Apple turned out to be one of the less talented pegasi, but summer flight camp nonetheless provided her with enjoyable memories.

A more mundane path towards sustaining a lifestyle of voyaging took shape as Sugar Apple grew into a young mare; while attending secondary school at Cloudsdale, she started working as one of many couriers who shipped clouds from the Royal Weather Factory to municipal weather teams. Completing secondary school, Sugar Apple enrolled in Cloudsdale Aerologic College and earned an associate degree in Meteorological Engineering. Her degree qualified her for a supervisory position at the weather factory’s Vaporization Department. While Sugar Apple doesn’t take particularly special pride in her line of work, the good pay and her coworkers make her job 100% worthwhile.

As of the present day, Sugar Apple has toured almost all of Equestria’s cities extensively… and she always insists on sharing her latest travelogues and photo albums with everypony. Even though she gave up her dream to be a Wonderbolt long ago, Sugar Apple is always up for entering amateur flying competitions. She hardly ever has the time to practice beforehand, but years of participating in them makes the mare a somewhat-worthy competitior (if not the best of the best). Due to her outgoing nature, Sugar Apple always volunteers for the task of helping new employees at the weather factory adjust to their new jobs and to get them aquainted with their fellow workers.

At the weather factory, Sugar Apple’s coworkers love her for how she throws birthday parties for her fellow employees, constantly stocks up the workers’ lounge with treats (mainly sugar apples), and decorates the factory floor for holidays (all of this Sugar Apple is allowed to pay for out of the factory’s pocket). The pegasus mare has not forgotten her Apple family roots though; on the occasional weekend, she’ll fly to one of the family orchards scattered around the country for either friendly visits or to provide precipitation whenever a weather team doesn’t provide enough. Sugar Apple greatly enjoys casual conversation with her fellow coworkers and relatives, especially when on the job or otherwise in the middle of an important task (doing work alone is incredibly boring for her). Whenever she gets the chance, she give her relatives loads of homemade sugar apples to either eat for themselves or sell.

Sugar Apple’s desire for her namesake never went away from her foalhood days, and so the pony remains prone to eating too many candy apples and becoming hyperactive as a result. Fortunately, the mare keeps her tendencies mostly under control by regularly attending Candyholics Anonymous meetings. As Sugar Apple is a pegasus among a family of earth ponies, she has the bothersome habit of reminding her Apple relatives that she can fly and they can’t. Sugar Apple doesn’t mean to be boastful, but sometimes her lighthearted teasing can rub her extended family the wrong way. Speaking of being able to fly, it is not enough for Sugar Apple to make simple entrances for family occasions. Instead, she must always arrive in the most bombastic way possible; by noisily diving down and making a high-speed low-level pass. Sugar Apple thinks her aerial dives are insanely fun, but the livestock (and their owners) often say otherwise.
