Or they don't wanna reveal it because it'll be revealed in their fanfic.

Live is right, though. An OC having direct connection to a canon character is extremely frowned upon, except in extremely rare situations. One such extremely rare situation is in the MLP fandom, where it may be less bad to make an OC who is a distant relative of Applejack, since she has an absurdly massive family all over the country. The Apple family even has relatives in the Orange family.
