Sorry, but she's got an AWFUL lot of railroading to do.
Some players tend to add characters to the background on a whim, Umi. Any D&D player can tell you that.
But she simply must stay for brunch; those apple pies are to die for.
I hate it when players use knowledge their characters couldn't POSSIBLY know.
I had one guy (our dumbass druid no one liked) who tried to pull it all the time, and STILL couldn't play for shit.

Did you try lying to him? Let him follow false oog intel into a trap or something?
Depending on the setting, a character who routinely knows things that they couldn't possibly be aware of might be accused of being a witch, a doppleganger, a spy, or any number of other things. On one occasion where I was DMing, I actually had a character sent to trial and eventually exiled from the continent (i.e. forced to roll up a new character) because his 'foul and unnatural divinations' marked him as being 'in league with Lucifer and his minions.'
Of course, that should be a last resort, for when talking to the player about his/her metagaming tendencies outside of the game (and offering reminders during the game) produces no results. Still, having NPCs react to their freaky knowledge in-character can really encourage role playing!

Yeah, not under the D&D system. While a few other tabletop games (espcially superhero themed ones, oddly) let you take family memebers and contacts as 'risks' so you can get more starting benifits (usually with a cap), in D&D there just isn't a mechanic to make that realistically work.
...Except for, of course, evil mastermind DMs who take advantage of all that extra content you've fed them for their own whims and plothooks. :)

i'd think applejack would be the only one supersticious enough to beleive in the legend of nightmare moon.
Speak quicker, keep on going till you're out of the area.
