In the world of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', the most important moment in a young pony's life is when they earn their cutie mark: a magical marking that appears on a pony's flank that represents what makes them special. These three fillies have yet to earn theirs and they're on a mission to find out who they are! And they're going to be adorable while they're at it!

Apple Bloom is Applejack and Big Macintosh's baby sister, an [[Moe Moe|adorable]] pony with a yellow coat and fluffy pinkish-red mane. In "Call of the Cutie", she became very insecure about not having her cutie mark yet and began [[Desperately Looking for A Purpose In Life|desperately searching for her special talent]]. After learning two of her classmates had the same problem, she formed a [[Power Trio]] with them in order to work together towards the same goal.
