‘I wholeheartedly believe that what I'm doin’ is right. I became ‘The Batmare’ after that fateful night. We were goin’ to Canterlot, it was mah first time, took the wrong shortcut down an all’yway and…’
BLAM! A gunshot could be heard; the thief in disbelief. He -it- stopped levitating the gun, it didn’t mean to. It was just its instincts, and you can believe they were bad ones. The shadow of the figure cast down upon the crying filly as it fled away leaving only her pearl necklace and a broken childhood.
She didn’t like to remember that moment, the brief period in which only depression, guilt and sadness lurked in her psyche. Later in that year, she decided to change her entire future; training relentlessly to protect her fellow Manhattanites and later, Ponyville-civilians. Another thing that dramatically changed was the founder of Apple Corps. Usually, the title of manager would have been given to her elder brother –Big Macintosh aka Big Mac – however, the ‘Apple family’ negotiated and agreed that Applejack should have the company -,as she is more of a business-pony than her brother.
What made the later years after the death of the ‘Wayne’s’ more horrid was the fact that Martha – Applejack’s mother – was pregnant. The whole Wayne family mourned not just for Martha and Thomas Wayne but their unborn child; Applebloom. When learning the news days after her parents’ funeral, she was again stricken with grief; this not only made her heart-broken but also fuelled her burning intentions of removing crime from Canterlot, Manehattan and Ponyville.
Years past that event, Applejack ‘Apple’ Wayne donned the now iconic cape and cowl of The Batmare, defeating foes such as The Joker and 'Queen' Chrysalis – aka Poison Ivy and recently adopting and taking Rainbow Dash under her, metaphorically speaking, wing becoming Robin!
