so try to love me and i'll try to save you

Made a horse FC! I'll try not to make any more because seven MLP FCs are quite enough--

Merlot's a pegasus who's lived in Manehattan his whole life, always trying to find opportunities to socialize with, and get to know, the ponies he encounters. He finds this easiest at the coffee shop he works at--actually, it's probably the main reason he asked for a job there.

Merlot pays a lot more attention and interest to others' lives and stories than his own--perhaps leading to his poor self-regard. The closest you could get to him talking about himself is a simple, brief "Oh, I've been great. How was your week?" 

Regardless, he's always found value in the little stories ponies bring to the coffee shop, whether it be trotting with friends in the freezing midnight streets, or someone's walk in the rain after a heartbreak. He admires how vibrant and complex each passerby's life seems to be.
