Teen Apple Bloom

Though not technically created with Marks for Effort in mind, I happened to finish them up just the day before a CMC episode, so it fits in nicely with the episode's theme of the Crusaders growing up and being teachers in their own right.

Here's my impression of teenage Apple Bloom, a rough-and-tumble farm girl who's undergone a teen growth spurt, taking after her father. She's out-grown her older sister, and can give her big brother a run for his money in a hoof-wrasslin' match. She's taken to wearing her grandfather's (on her dad's side) favorite neckerchief, after learning more about her family history from Granny Smith and Grand Pear.
