Biography[]
Candace grew up with her father Fred, being a daddy's girl, she has a torn-up relationship with her Mother, but, she never tells us how or why. It is said in "My Little Pony and a Demerol Drip" that Candace was treated badly as a child, when, Fred told everyone at a get together for lunch that the only way to make her do things was to give her a cookie, and then proceeds to make fun of her, seeing that she is clearly upset and feeling undermined, he then asks her to lighten up. This bruised relationship between father and daughter is what makes her in-the-moment rival, Christy, break it off with Fred. We don't know about her relationship with her mother much, but Candace is said to have been brought up with everything, her dad is rich and she currently owns a very big house.
