Request: Truffie (Patreon)

Apple Truffle (Truffles), as requested by multiple patrons~

Truffles is the dear darling daughter of Apple Bloom and Snails, conceived during a summer fling. Rather than force a relationship, AB and Snails decided to raise lil Truffie as friends and co-parents, which worked out really well for Truff, because presently she has four parents that adore and spoil her. AB, you see, went on to marry Diamond Tiara (whose attitude toward her stepdaughter is something like "I've only had Truffles for a day but if anything happened to her I'd kill everypony in this room and then myself") , while Snails eventually settled down with Snips (who plays the part of Truffles' aggressively fun/irresponsible uncle-father figure).

Despite her childhood love of baking, Truffles surprised everyone when her special talent turned out to be ecology. Adult Truffles is a scientist with an immense passion for studying the natural world, especially how ponies fit within it. She can often be spotted helping Auntie Applejack cultivate new variants of crops, sometimes creating entirely new species, playing god with enough maniacal glee to make Starlight and Twilight proud. Truffles is very sorry about that new bio-engineered crop of super-mega-death plundervines that ripped the family barn off its foundation. That project got away from her a little.

In her spare time, Truffles can be spotted baking with Miss Cupcake, catching and observing all manner of terrifying insects, teaching science lessons to foals at the local library, and repeatedly pondering if her humdrum (if satisfying) existence is enough for her glam rock superstar of a girlfriend, Prima Donna (who you'll see soon).

The fruit bat is Truffles' pet, who Imma let y'all come up with a name for
