One busy day at the saloon, a young Sass was helping out his pa by retrieving and washing steins. Customers were pouring in and soon something called away his father.

 

Not wanting business to slow down, Sass moved up to the counter in a smaller uniform to take orders. It was a VERY busy day so he got every type of order and combination that the patron's could think of! At one point he made a mistake and put ice cream in a customer's order, he couldn't afford to break pace though. He asked the pony ordering if he could make do with this if he halved the price. He agreed and so on the day went.

Once his father returned he took the helm again, though now that Sass was off duty one of the patrons from before came back to tell him the 'messed up order' he'd received was actually amazing! The news brought a smile to the colt's face... and then a stamp on his flank.

History:

 

Born in Dodge Junction, this colt was the product of a saloon owner and an ice cream maker. Due to his overly curly mane, reminiscent of suds and a funny incident when he got out of his crib as a foal and was found the next morning playing behind the bar with a little stein, His parents gave him his name: Sarsaparilla Swirl. No matter how small he was as a foal, Sass had a knack for nosing about and exploring. His excursions sometimes getting him in trouble, other times getting him some new friends, sometimes weirder stuff happened. Whatever the outcome Sass was always eager to try out new things.

 

School for him was not terribly unusual. Sass had a rough time studying since he tended to veer away or forget the things that teachers couldn't find a way to make interesting. Even when lessons managed to grab his attention though he clearly preferred to learn through experience and action rather than reading. It should come as no surprise then that he has a profound love of field trips.

 

Currently, Sass lives with his parents in Dodge Junction but regularly visits his aunt Cherry Jubilee. His relationship with his parents is about as normal as any colt's he'd imagine. A series of ups, downs, and zigzags that leaves him with a fun family life. Despite his young age, Sass likes to help out at his family's saloon. 

 

Even at his young age, Sarsaparilla Swirl has a good idea of what he wishes to do when he's an adult: Run his own little soda saloon... and then maybe extend it outwards into a bigger business.

 

 

Summary: Bubbly, and eager is an excellent way to describe Sarsaparilla. He's never short on jokes or late for parties (at least not often) and enjoy cheering ponies up. Due to still being so young, it can often be hard to get him to focus on things for very long unless he can find it in himself to become interested, this trait having lead to a slipping of his grades in school: Not too a terrible degree, but enough for his parents to give him a lecture once in a while.

 

Despite his nickname among his friends: Sassy. Sarsaparilla is actually a very open and amenable pony, He enjoys talking to new ponies and has a tendency to go about a mile a minute. Even with his general good nature and playfulness, even he tends to get carried away by his passions. Typically this flaw manifests in his tendency to move ahead on reflex when others are trying to catch up in an activity. Even with his moments of hyperfocus he can occasionally be distracted by the nnext thing that catches his interest.
