Freezie Apple

Daughter of Big Mac and Zecora

A calm chill pony on the outside and an absolute savage on the inside. Freezia group largely homeschooled in the beginning where she (as a mere foal I tell you) would traverse the Everfree forest unencumbered swinging through vines like tarzan and befriending local cryptids. She eventually went to normal school but lets just say it lacked the pizazz and interest of her earlier years of growing up. (she also had a bit difficult of a time connecting with kids but a couple episodes of friendship is magic and she soon made some friends)

Modern day Freezie is a camp counselor, trail guide, and a million different hustles that have to do with ponies connecting more with nature and being less afraid of it.)

So here's part two which I decided to title “What Does Macintosh do?” whel it’s not really that it’s more like here's the reason why I picked this future that I did for him.

First off I needed to get away from the farm. As much as he loves and cares for his home I think Mac has (like most pple) built a self-induced cage around himself and his duties to the farm. The farm works great to keep him busy and feeling like he’s helping out with the family but it’s also the source of all his trauma so I needed him to get away. Not to far away though (poor boy would probably get a panic attack and did when Zecora offered him to move in) but enough to have a clear separation of work and home as well.

Second I wanted a mature partner that could handle and effectively talk to him without blabbing his ear off. Annnnnnd that’s when my gears started turning to…..dun dun duuun Zecora. I can’t tell you the exact reason or how I came up to this conclusion but having Big Macintosh and Zecora together.just.clicked.

Zecora lives in the everfree forest, which is close to apple acres. She is a mature spirit, self sufficient like mac but she’s pretty dominant and at ease in her day to day interactions.

Lastly I think once mac got over his unease over her “eccentricisms” he’d find out that he quite enjoys her company in day to day life.

Also another thought I’d heacannon is that Zecora is hardcore the type of mare to say fuck to gender rules and parade in a fancy suit. And she has long sensed that Big Mac was a severely repressed pony. (She remember the first time Big Mac come into her home to fix her roof that the first he commented on was her massive collection of her worldly jewelry.

Needless to say after some intense therapy, some crying and some making of amends the relationship turns out to be fruitful as they settle down and raise their two children.

P.s the two participate in some haaardcore role reversal playing. ;)

A small fun redesign for Zecora.

I honestly really like Zecora but I don't like how the show just pigeonholes her into a rhymey, never ending patient and helper to twilight's troubles with no agency or backstory of her own. It's no coincidence that after Twilight ascends to a alicorn and then princess that Zecora's input into the show becomes zilch.

So I decided to retcon and flesh out her story a little.

Zecora comes from the country of Zebrica (close to saddle arabia) she comes from a small tribe that was largely isolated from the other more industrialized Zebra cities and empires. Her family were sorta like gypsy's in that they travel Zebrica all year round. Zecornian's are considered to the powerful healers and the best skilled craftsmen in all of Zebrica. Dipped in mysticism and power the Zecornians are both praised and feared by the public often being scapegoated for anysort of bad luck that falls upon the city they visit. Zecora's family had a saying "we were "other" no matter where we went. So it was easy to blame others then it is to blame your own"

Zecora’s tribe prides itself on keeping a close nit family and their worldly prowess they are both open to new innovations and magic as their harsh sticklers for tradition and making sure no outside force can change or break them family apart.

Zecora was the odd one out of her tribe as her curiosity knew no bounds. She constantly pushed for the answers and its those curiosities that pushed her against the bindings of her family. Zecora kept pushing and pulling until she strayed too far and something..... horrible happened. Zecora ran away from her family believing she was exiled.

This brash decision forced her to travel to places she’d never met or seen before, farther then coasts of saddle arabia even.

And after many years of traveling Zecora decides to settle in ponyville in the everfree forest.

Present Zecora- even though she was exiled, very much holds on to the traditions of her family. Always learning magic and potions, never getting too close to the other ponies, keeping her distance (though the ponies hove somehow managed to worm their way into her heart) and speaking in rhymes in the presence of other creatures. (a rule her tribe has that you could only speak normally in front of family).

However, after many years, Zecora has started to loosen up persay. Letting her hair fall down instead of gelling it every day, loosening up her rhymes (at least around ponies she trusts) and letting her dominant and curious nature peek out more.
