"You're the one who took Master Mathiu away, aren't you? You can't fool me."

Apple was born in Seika but had lost her parents in the Scarlet Moon-Jowston War at a young age. She was one of the children adopted and taught in Mathiu Silverberg's classroom. Boasting a clear mind, she was eventually able to study at Crystal Valley in the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia before returning home once she heard news of the Gate Rune War. She joined the Toran Liberation Army in order to support Mathiu, her foster parent and strategist teacher who wished "to end the war".

Apple would lose her mentor at the war's end as he passed away from the wounds he suffered at Shasarazade.

Suikoden II
Having lost Mathiu to war, Apple endeavoured to write the biography of her late master. In order to gather materials for this task, she tried to follow in the footsteps of his own journies. Along the way, she witnessed the slaughter of Toto Village by Luca Blight and decided to aid what would become the New State Army.

She served as a deputy strategist in the New State Army, saying her strategic and tactical skills were still developing. However, a senior pupil and friend, Shu, was an excellent strategist and Apple's conviction and prostrations to recruiting the head strategist indirectly greatly contributed to the victory of the New State Army.

Following the end of the Dunan Unification War, Apple resumed her work on the biography of Mathiu's travels. According to one traveller, someone with her appearance was seen in the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. Perhaps she may have aims to study once more at Crystal Valley.
