"Grand Pear is Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Big Mac’s grandfather. He makes his money selling pear jam made from the pears in his orchard. A long time ago, the Pear and Apple families had been enemies, thanks to a falling-out that went back many years. So when Grand Pear’s daughter, Pear Butter, married into the Apple Family, he cut ties and moved to Vanhoover. Years later he returned to Ponyville to make amends, with some help from his grandchildren. This stubborn old stallion can hold quite the grudge, but his love for his daughter could make his heart budge."

Meet Applejack, Big Mac, and Apple Bloom's granddaddy — Grand Pear. Never expected the Apple Family's current generation to be part Pear. It's a very surprising discovery. Though it's so sad that the relationship between the two fruit-growing families was one of enmity (despite the fact that both apples and pears are both from the same family). I have to admit I wasn't too fond of Grand Pear's stubborness, hatred towards the Apples, and pride, and how he cut ties when his daughter, Pear Butter, chose to be with her true love, Bright Mac. It cost him to be with her until her and his son-in-law's death. But I am glad that he decided to return to Ponyville to make amends. Now he'll get to be with his grandchildren. William Shatner did a great job doing his voice. Definitely the best choice.

Making Grand Pear's vector wasn't so difficult, in fact it kind of easy. In case you don't remember, I made this for Dracorider19's birthday pic. So it's been sort of a while since you've seen this. And as you can guess, the background is all about pears.
