Babs Seed is a filly from Manehattan who visits Ponyville in One Bad Apple. She is one of Apple Bloom's cousins. Initially a bully towards the Crusaders, she is eventually inducted into the group before returning home. In Bloom & Gloom, it is revealed through letter that Babs has gotten a pair of scissors as a cutie mark.
Depiction in fan works[]
Numerous fan works depict Babs Seed returning to Manehattan following the events of One Bad Apple. Most examples see her confronting bullies from before she visited Ponyville and founding a new branch of the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Manehattan as she said she would do at the end of the episode.[1][2][3][4]
A few fan works see Babs actually moving to Ponyville.[5] Such works often have her confront Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon as she gets used to the more rural way of life in Ponyville.[6]
Personality[]
Babs is generally depicted with insecurities hidden behind a tough attitude, a trait developed from being subjected to bullying and living in an urban environment. Much like her cousins, she is generally portrayed as tomboyish in nature and stubborn.
Relationships[]
Family[]
Babs' family has not yet appeared in the show. However, because she lives in Manehattan and is a cousin of Applejack and Apple Bloom, Babs is often thought to be the daughter of Aunt and Uncle Orange. As mentioned in One Bad Apple, she also has a sister. This sister usually appears in fan works.[1][6][4]
Shipping[]
Babs Seed is generally paired with Apple Bloom in both clopfics and non-clopfics.[1][6] This pairing is known as AppleSeed.[7] Occasionally, she is also shipped with one of the other two crusaders. In clopfics, Babs Seed is sometimes paired with Spike. More recently, she has been paired with Button Mash.[specify]
Cutie mark[]
Babs' cutie mark is commonly interpreted in fan labor as relating to flowers and seeds. As of the episode Bloom & Gloom, her cutie mark is a pair of scissors with apple-shaped handles.
