- Bailey Sweet is the first-born daughter to Applejack and the fraternal twin sister to Ambrosia. Bailey is 8 minutes older than her sister. Applejack was getting foal fever when her friends around her were started to settle down and get pregnant so she weighed her options and thought finding a sire would be her best option. The sire was a complete mystery to AJ until her twins were born—she'd recognize those Clydesdale genes anywhere.

- Growing up the twins saw their mom a superhero, admiring the long hours she put in on the farm but still managing to find the time to take the twins on a hayride around the orchard or to sing the girls around the barn to music and giggles. The girls were still really small when their great-Granny Smith passed. They watched their mother buck up and put on a brave face so her family had time to mourn while farm chores could still be done. Bailey, the more unmotivated of the twins, had to be convinced by her sister but the two of them started getting up before dawn and helping their mama with chores until their Uncle McIntosh and Aunt Apple Bloom was feeling good enough to get back to work. Bailey couldn't be more relieved but her sister still continues this routine 'til this day.

- One day when the twins were just arriving home from school, their mama had burst into their room excited telling the girls to pack a bag because she had a surprise for them. A mixture of confused and excited, the girls packed their bag and hurried downstairs and met up with their Mama and Aunt Fluttershy. On the way into town, the two adults explained to their foals that they were going on a trip to see an old friend whose daughter needed a friend. Arriving at the Castle of Friendship struck the usually advantageous Bailey with butterflies in her stomach. Bailey spent the first several minutes at the castle behind her Mama's front legs while her sister strutted around like she owned the castle and made sure to introduce herself to every new pony she could find. Bailey had no idea who anypony was and only recognized them from old photos that her mama had in photo albums.

- When AJ nudged her daughter into the nursery to play, she mostly stuck to building blocks with an energetic filly who introduced herself as Jelly Doughnut until she started to to see all the other foals gather around the Princess' daughter Daybreak Glimmer. Jelly Doughnut grabbed little Bailey by the hoof exclaiming that something totally cool had to be going on and the pair joined the reading foal.

- Ever since that faithful day Bailey has had a particularly strong and weird sisterhood with Jelly Doughnut, the two being complete opposites. One day while their were playing outside they found an old tree in the depths of the orchard that was withering away. Jelly Doughnut explained that her mom once told her sometimes when things get too old they get really tired and need to go to sleep so a long time so that's why the tree was looking like that it just needed to go to sleep. That didn't set right with Bailey who felt something pulling at her soul to help this tree. She spent day and night with this tree trying all sorts of things she read about in books she borrowed from Daybreak Glimmer until one afternoon when Applejack found her daughter asleep outside, teasing her about her old tree when she looked up at in with a shocked gasped. She exclaimed that her daughter did in and when Bailey bolted to her hooves she saw the tree full of leaved and bearing apples… and pears. Bailey felt a tingling feeling on her flank as her cutie mark appeared and she was pulled into a warm embraced by her mama who had tears trickling down her face as she explained the story on the importance of this particularly special tree in the orchard. Bailey recalls this as the only time she ever saw her Mama cry.

- As a teenager she and her sister received a letter in the mail from a stallion introducing himself as Trouble Shoes. The stallion apparently was wanting to meet the two teenage mares and was apologizing for his absence these past few years. Confused, the girls went to their Mama who explained the special way the two were brought into the world and how Trouble Shoes was technically their father and left the decision up to them. The girls of course wrote back immediately agreeing to meet the stallion and his family and a few days later a large wagon rolled up on the orchard and out of the back barreled an ecstatic very big mare who introduced herself as their sister and wrapped the two girls in a huge bear hug. When the stallion appeared next to his wife the twins greeted him warmly like he'd been there their whole lives and embraced him.

- Currently Bailey Sweet still lives at home with her sister, and even though she wakes up at noon, still helps her Mama with farmyard chores. Bailey is currently working on a special fertilizer to triple the lifespan of fruit bearing trees and make them impervious to bugs and disease.

Eeyup Applejack is still ace/aro—but I think AJ has the potential to be the best mom on the plant so TAH-DAH she found a sire
Nothing razzles my dazzles like seeing NextGens where AJ is a bad mom—same goes for Rainbow Dash

Literally nothing changed about my homegirl's design
She's one of my personal favs of the Zafaravese
