Johnny Appleseed is a hero of American Folklore. While often depicted in modern media as spindly and pacifistic, he was most certainly not. Described as being as strong as Paul Bunyan, and even interacting with the Legendary Lumberjack when he helped heal Babe when the Ox was ill. He roamed across the wilds planting Apple Trees (mostly Cider) earning him the nickname The American Dionysus. Johnny would've been fierce to behold, a shaggy beard and wooly body of immense strength, wise piercing eyes staring out from below his shaggy hair and tin pot hat. He communed with spirits and did superhuman feats such as walking across flame and ice barefoot. He was said to have a spirit bride and be a friend to the animals with a wolf as companion. His Holidays are around the two Equinoxes which coincide with his birth and death. He effectively fulfills a Hermit Wildman/Green Man Archetype within American Folklore. After his death he continued to plant trees both in spirit and in careful planting.-TLK
