Shoeshine, Green Gem, Bon Bon, Cloudchaser, Helia, Lucky Clover, Cherry Berry, Dizzy Twister & Flounder aren’t Apple Family members that’ll make the family tree even more difficult
(September 16th update I’ve added cherry berry & carrot top to the tree)
Carrot top… Cloudchaser… Ellis… BON-BON!! O.o Wait. If Cloudchaser is there and Flitter is Cloudchaser’s sister, there’s 1 explanation: Cloudchaser married an Apple! Why Bon-Bon is there, is beyond me.
Carrot Top & Hayseed I might get as a close relative but different professions(Carrot & Turnip farmers respectively). Bonbon could be a distant blood relation. As for Cloudchaser, she was making sure the skies remained clear for the reunion and has no relation. Greenhooves might be one of those people that assists the Apple family with minor tasks from time to time and is considered one of the family.
If they were actually Apple family, they would probably have been in the family picture in front of the barn. I’d guess they were just there to help with the barn raising.
Maybe Cloud Chaser does have some Apple blood in her. Since pony types are pretty much on the randomizer, she literally could be in the Apple family yet not be a strong Earth Pony. ;)
In all actuality those ponies are only there to fill the crowd, it’s not an animation error and they probably didn’t have enough ‘Apple Family’ ones to do it.
Edited
Lecter approves this.
If that’s the case why is Cloudchaser there without Snowflake? Unless…
sniff
Then again, we don’t know diddly about any of the BG ponies.
Also, dat Cloudchaser <3
