Age: 29

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Bicerin has a dark brown coat with a vanilla and white colored mane, which brushes forward as the back of his mane shortens. His tail is left long and disheveled. His eyes are dark silver. He is moderate in physique and in height.

Cutie Mark: A mug with steam rising out of it.

Personality: While generally he is friendly and nonthreatening, Bicerin has been known for his talkative and sometimes hurtful behavior. Poor at keeping secrets, Bicerin finds it difficult to suppress himself in front of others, usually embarrassing his peers. He doesn't mean to cause harm – though he finds it no easy task to keep his mouth shut. <br /><br />Bicerin can be gleeful most of the time, but he expresses his emotions openly, lacking some self-control. Being a coffee shop owner and a barista, Bicerin feels seemingly loosened and free of stress. As a relaxed soul, he doesn't try to overwork himself or waste his time on things he doesn't feel like doing.<br /><br />Beyond his caffeine-based life, Bicerin cooks and plays billards. He also draws and play with his fantasy play-set.

Backstory: Bicerin was most certainly a difficult pony to deal with at youth. He was born as a far-northerner (in terms of location in Equestria), having a younger brother. His parents came from a relatively renowned background, his father being the director of the Royal University and his mother part of a family of philosophers and physicians. He felt uninterested in their occupations, however, and went off on his own path. While it can be said that he received above average grades in his classes, he daydreamed in classes and was frequently called out by his teachers. <br /><br />When he was 8, a planned snowstorm has struck their town in order to "stabilize" the weather, keeping everypony inside their homes and away from work and school temporarily. Stuck inside his family's house, he searched around the kitchen for anything to "pass the time", (avoiding the knives!) until he found a cocoa powder bag in the kitchen drawers and pantries. With nothing to do, he created his own hot cocoa and got his family together to drink along with him. Soon after, the snowstorm ended, with every pony busy to clear up the snow. His family did not know that Bicerin has gained his cutie mark until they were finished with their work.<br /><br />After he finished up his education and attending university for the sake of his parents, he went off to start off his own coffee business in Trottingham further south along with his lifelong friend at age 22. As the owner of his own shop, Bicerin feels fortunate to have such a well-going life...things seem to be going well for him.
