#Personality ;
Coffee Swirl has always been very level headed for a pegasus. He doesn’t really go for the whole ‘high flying and thrill seeking’ stereotypes that have been predominantly become associated with his pony species and acts more subdued and even bland. He enjoys his work, since the very drink he makes so well is also the one that he is borderline addicted to, and is concerned with working in his cafe to the detriment of his social life. On top of that, when he’s confronted with somepony who he thinks is either trying to shortchange him, or otherwise deceive him, he can get very vocal about it and even come off as a massive plothole for it.
That said, when put into a situation that isn’t one he’s used to (most often a social one), he gets both tense and very awkward. Thanks to his lack of experience, he actually has something of a fear of social settings and actively tries to avoid them.
#History ;
Coffee Swirl was never going to be much of a history maker. He was born to a perfectly normal family in Cloudsdale, went to elementary and then flight school to learn, but wasn’t awarded a degree from the latter since he never managed to be any more than average at stunt flying or weather related activities. He tried a few other places that weren’t exactly ‘traditional’ pegasi jobs through his teen years, but nothing ever managed to be more than passable at best. Eventually, he decided to look down on the ground to see if there was a more mundane and generic job that he could do and make a living in. Mailstallion was an easy job, but it wasn’t one that he outright excelled at, and the salary made living on it rather difficult. However, while no pegasus jobs seemed to work out for him, he did develop an interest in what Earth Ponies did with things like Farming and Baking; he even went so far as to try those out. While none of them went bad, they still weren’t stand out either. One thing that did seem to stand out, was how much he found he loved his namesake drink. He took an extreme interest in learning about it, and actually started working with an earth pony barista; it took all of one cup, hoofmade from start to finish by him, to finally get his Cutie Mark. Now, after learning all the tips and tricks the other pony had to offer, Coffee Swirl now lives in Ponyville and runs the ‘Beautiful Day Cafe’, which is moderately successful and lets him live comfortably.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;
Despite the reputation for disaster that Ponyville had developed over the years, it was actually a very quiet town. There were entire months that it would just be a generally sleepy place with little in the way of ‘excitement’ to be found. However, today, there was something disrupting the general peace of the town, it just wasn’t as monumental as some of the other incidents that plagued the place.
Outside a general store, a reddish-brown pegasus with white and red hair and sporting a cup of coffee for a cutie mark stood glaring from behind a pair of green framed glasses. He was actually wearing a gray vest that covered the front half of his body and came with a name tag that identified him as 'Coffee Swirl' of the 'Beautiful Day Cafe'. And the object of Mister Swirl's ire seemed to be an blue earth pony with a set of coins as his cutie mark.
"The price you're asking for is outrageous!" The pegasus shouted, getting up in the earth pony's face as he did. "When you father still worked here, he never charged me near that much for my supplies!"
"And my father, Celestia rest his soul, was also barely getting by on his profits!" The earth pony shouted right back. "How he kept this place open AND managed to live any sort of a decent life based on the figures I've found utterly baffles me, and I'm inclined to believe ponies like you took advantage of his kindness!"
"Your father managed to live comfortably because wasn't a total jerk to everyone just because they didn't pay full price!" Coffee Swirl was evidently losing patience with the earth pony, his wings flaring in an attempt to make himself look larger and more intimidating. "He got gifts from everypony in town, had friends who practically threw money at him to help him with the bills and made ponies want to help him!"
The earth pony scoffed. "That type of economic plan is questionable at best and idiotic at worst. If you want those coffee beans, you'll be paying full price for them; I am entitled to a little profit." And he slammed the door in the pegasus's face.
"So am I, you bucking cheapskate!" He turned around and kicked at the door. Being a pegasus who wasn't even athletic, it didn't break the door down; but, it did make him feel marginally better before he had to set off back to the cafe.
