* ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'': Most of the tribes have some theme; the Carja mention sun and light quite often, the Utaru reference plants and growth, and the Tenakth speak half like professional soldiers and half like savage warriors. More than anyone, however, the Oseram are smiths and tinkerers. It seems like they can't go half a sentence without referencing fire, forges, or hammers.

As a farm pony, she frequently uses [[TalksLikeASimile farming-themed similes and metaphors]], many of which involve apples; in "The Cutie Map Part 2", she calls them "countryisms", and there appears to be a connection between her ability to make "countryisms" and her other farming talents, since she loses her ability to talk like that when her cutie mark's taken away.
