Background/Personality:

Terra Taps is the first child and only daughter of Tender Taps and Applebloom. Like most of her Apple cousins, Terra was born on Sweet Apple Acres and immediately loved by the large Apple family. At a tender young age, Terra expressed intense curiosity for the world around her: alongside with a small but strong physique, Terra seemed explore every nook and cranny on the farm and in the orchards, resulting in her getting into trouble more often than not. One curiosity about the Apple Farm seemed to intrigue the filly the most: Zap Apples. When Terra witnessed her first zap apple harvest, the filly joined in the festivities and worked her little hooves off learning all she could on both harvesting zap apples and making zap apple jam, just as her great grandmother did many years ago. This first time even led to Terra gaining her cutie mark in zap apples. When Big Mac, Applejack, and Applebloom saw that the little filly loved doing what Granny Smith created, alongside with the filly’s cutie mark, it was decided that when the time came, Terra would inherit Applebloom’s share of Sweet Apple Acres and help run the farm. However despite this decision, the little filly has many years ahead of her, and for now Terra simply attends school along with her friends Marble Chord, Lunar Luck, Johari, and her cousin Peony Pear.

Terra is as sweet as the apples on her family’s farm, always running around with a big grin on her face. The little filly is also quite responsible, despite her immense curiosity getting her in trouble more often than not: Terra knows when something goes too far, however, there is no harm in simply looking that sparks interest. Eventually her curiosity will wain to more responsibility, but not for some time since Terra is still a young filly.

Relationships:

Terra seems to take more after her mother Applebloom as supposed to her father Tender Taps, so the filly agrees more with her mother. This does not mean that Terra does not love her father: she is not exactly a daddy’s little girl; however, she will do whatever she needs to/can do to make her father happy, even if that means struggling to keep up in one of his dance classes.

Terra does not have any biological siblings; however, like all of the Apple cousins, she is incredibly close to her entire Apple family. Terra also sees Marble Chord and Lunar Luck as sibling like since their mothers are best friends.

Terra is particularly close to her Apple cousin: Terra helps her shy cousin meet new friends and feel safe at school.

Special:

-Terra Taps’s cutie mark is a zap apple with leaves on either side. The mark symbolizes Terra’s talent in harvesting zap apples.

-Like almost all of the Apple children, Terra was born with her face littered in freckles. She will eventually lose the majority of her muzzle freckles; however, she will keep the ones under her eyes, similar to Applejack.

-Like her Aunt Applejack, Terra is able to buck an entire apple orchard in a day.

-Terra did not inherit her father’s dancing ability: instead, she gained her mother’s two left hooves.

- Terra spends most of her days on Sweet Apple Acres with her Apple family except for one day each week of which she devotes completely to her dad, of which she calls “Taps Time”.

- Terra will be the flower girl on her parents’ wedding day.
