Aunt and Uncle Orange are the married Earth pony aunt and uncle of Applejack in the Apple family. They are simply called by their titles-and-shared-name Aunt Orange and Uncle Orange both in The Cutie Mark Chronicles and in Gameloft's mobile game, while the latter Orange is called by that as well as his individual name Mosely Orange in various merchandise.
Development and designs[]
Uncle Orange shares his mane style and coat and eye colors with S04E10 Unnamed Pegasus Stallion #1, and sometimes shares his design with S04E20 Unnamed Earth Stallion #1. Aunt Orange resembles S01E26 Unnamed Unicorn Mare #1.
IDW comics writer Ted Anderson has stated regarding the My Little Pony Annual 2013 Equestria Girls story "Since my original plan was to retell 'The Cutie Mark Chronicles' in EqG form, I wanted to reuse the characters from AJ's story, Aunt and Uncle Orange. However, it was pointed out that AJ being in the same school as her aunt and uncle was really friggin' weird! So that was nixed"[4] and "originally I wanted aunt and uncle Orange to be the antagonists for the book, but it was pointed out that being in the same grade as your aunt and uncle was ... well, odd. So Babs and her sister took over the roles instead (even though, as others pointed out, it's also odd to have Babs be in high school before AJ)."[5]
On November 29, 2012, prior to a magazine[specify] listing Aunt and Uncle Orange as Babs Seed's aunt and uncle,[1] show writer Cindy Morrow was asked whether Babs is Aunt and Uncle Orange's daughter and replied, "not that I know of?"[6]

AUNT ORANGE and UNCLE ORANGE are Applejack's family that live in Manehattan. They're city ponies who giggle at good ol' country folk. But that's okay. They're still family just the same.
