Magical Starsign
Native to the planet Puffoon, Applepie worked as a researcher under the command of her superior, Dr. Calzone. At one point, she was sent to the planet Erd as part of a research group called the Espressos; she was picked specifically because of her psychic abilities, which Calzone assumed would allow her to communicate with the spiny moles that occupied the planet. One of these abilities was telekinesis, the ability to lift objects with the mind. Prior to leaving, she told her parents goodbye in a heartfelt manner, under the impression that she may never see them again due to the nature of psychic research.

Along her journey on Erd, she recorded her thoughts in her digital diary. Within it, she expressed her concern at Calzone's four-year plan for the automation and higher sentience of ancient robots, as well as concern over whether the spiny moles truly consented to the invasive nature of her group's research. Regardless, they continued to perform experiments on psychic powers at what would become the Kahve Ruins, bringing a large number of technicians to the planet at the same time. This confused Applepie, as she did not understand what they were truly doing by "bending space," as the technicians put it. At the same time these experiments were conducted, she was informed that the financial situation on Puffoon was poor, worrying about her parents' wellbeing. While performing these experiments, her group came into conflict with the brownies, who gave them five warnings to leave the planet before they would declare war. This prompted the group to begin preparing an exit, as more stone giants began to scout the tower. Before they could leave the tower, however, the ancient robots began to rebel against their creators, and stormed the tower. She managed to destroy eight of them to defend herself, desperately attempting to make contact with Calzone through her communications. In the end, nobody answered her pleas, and she, along with the other researchers of the tower, were converted into gummies in order to be fed to the ancient robots as a power source.

Many years later, when the party returned to the Kahve Ruins to transfer gummy energy to Mokka, they discovered Applepie's gummified body at the top elevation. When she saw them, she desperately begged them for help while simultaneously attacking them. When the party managed to kill her, she thanked them for allowing her to finally rest in her last moments. In her death, she dropped an access card, which the party then took to Emerald Core in Rio Villa to access her diary; they discovered her true identity and the events that led to her being gummified.
