Having lost Mathiu to war, Apple endeavored 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 journey. Along the way, she witnessed the slaughter of [[Toto Village]] by [[Luca Blight]] and decided to aid what would become the [[New State Army]]. As a war orphan herself, she was no stranger to seeing her loved ones lost to war and so was especially angered by Luca's deeds. | Having lost Mathiu to war, Apple endeavored to write the biography of her late master.

She served as a deputy strategist in the New State Army, saying her strategic and tactical skills were still developing. Her strong sense of justice and past as a war orphan meant her priority as a military strategist was on helping the weak rather than pursuing victory. For this reason, she was not completely cool-headed about battles and she could be considered somewhat naïve as a military commander. | |||
However, she is not a woman who only talks about ideals. She is a woman of action who will face any difficulty to realize her beliefs. Knowing that her senior pupil and friend, [[Shu]], was an excellent strategist, she would encourage the fledgling army to recruit him. Shu at first refused to join, rebuffing Apple continuously, until she prostrated herself before him. | However, she is not a woman who only talks about ideals.

This loss of face angered Shu until Apple remarked that she was willing to throw away her foolish pride if needed. Shu would soon join and Apple's conviction and prostrations to recruiting the head strategist indirectly greatly contributed to the victory of the New State Army. This act of earnestness and her purity of feeling is what Shu considered to be her greatest talent as a military strategist. | [[File:Apple begs for help.png|thumb|right|220px|Please bring your fire-themed card deck, I beg you.]]This loss of face angered Shu until Apple remarked that she was willing to throw away her foolish pride if needed.

While serving the New State Army, Apple had to put up with the advances of [[Sheena]], a difficult situation as Apple had little experience dealing in such matters. Neither did she have any feelings for Shu, the two being childhood friends. | While serving the New State Army, Apple had to put up with the advances of [[Sheena]], a difficult situation as Apple had little experience dealing in such matters.
