Coffee Shop AU is a modern day Equestria alternate universe where all my characters intersect at a popular coffee shop, The Brewed Mare Coffee House (please tell me someone gets that pun,) in The Neightherlands.

This is Fairy Fleece, the crystal pony in charge of managing her family's flock in the hills outside of town. She works with her sister, Lavender Lace (to be drawn,) to create beautiful and unique crotchet laceworks using yarn shorn from their sheep. Her best friend is Apiaria ( ashesundown.deviantart.com/art… ) and the two spend time together primarily when Apiaria goes into the hills to gather wild honey. They also spend time, occasionally, at The Brewed Mare Coffee Shop where they can spend hours catching up and where Fairy Fleece can enjoy a little bit of civilization in her largely rustic existence. Fleece also enjoys the opportunity to talk to Double Shot ( ashesundown.deviantart.com/art… ,) the object of her secret affections.

Born in Marelan (Milan,) Fairy Fleece and her sister never knew the Crystal Empire (hasbro tm) and when they were foals moved with their parents to The Neightherlands. Although they had never visited their ancestral homeland, the traditions of the crystal ponies are very important to Fleece and her sister. Their parents were determined to expose the sisters to as much crystal culture as possible and, after much effort, they were able to acquire a small herd of tiny ewes to start up their own flock.

Fleece acquired her cutiemark shortly after her family bought the sheep and she was charged with watching the herd overnight. It seemed simple enough at first, after all, how hard could it be to keep some cute little sheep out of trouble? The evening started quietly, but the calm was shattered when a Timber Wolf (hasbro tm) attacked the flock. Fleece managed to drive the beast off with an impressive amount of bravery for such a small filly – but once the danger was gone, she discovered that one of the lambs was missing! After she secured the rest of the sheep behind a sturdy fence, Fleece set off into the high hills to look for the missing lamb. She searched for many hours, well into the dark of night when it began to rain. Fleece was not going to give up, somewhere in these hills was a poor little lost lamb who needed her help. She searched and searched until, at last, she heard scared bleating coming from a small cave. She ventured in only to find the missing lamb, wet and terrified, hiding in the back. She rushed to it's side and began to comfort the terrified creature, which calmed swiftly in her care. They waited until the storm had passed and Fleece then lead the lamb back to the herd just as the first light of dawn crept over the hills. The dawn not only revealed the return of Fairy Fleece and the little lost lamb, but also her cutiemark – three sheep, each representing the trials she had been through the night before. Her bravery at driving off the Timber Wolf, her perseverance as she searched through the dark and the storm, and her gentleness that enabled her to comfort the frightened lamb.

As she grew, she came to live in the hills with her flock where she could watch over them more easily. She wears two bell-covered belts wrapped around her left hind leg, bound around a soft cloth to prevent chafing, which she stomps against the ground to call her flock to her. The little lost lamb she saved all those years ago has become her special companion who she calls Ewe-lia (you-lee-uh) and wears a small golden bell. On rare days when she is able to leave her flock and visit town, she and Apiaria visit The Brewed Mare where she, without fail, leaves her coffee choice entirely up to Double Shot because the drink will never be as important to her as the company.



TLDR – born in Marelan (Milan.) She's a crystal pony and shepherd to a flock of tiny sheep. Friend of Apiaria and has a secret crush on Double Shot. She gained her cutiemark when she retrieved a lost lamb; three sheep, each representing the trials she had been through to save the lamb. Her bravery at driving off the Timber Wolf, her perseverance as she searched through the dark and the strom, and her gentleness that enabled her to comfort the frightened lamb. At the Brewed Mare she always tells Double Shot to pick a drink for her, the drink is never as important or as valued as the company.
