YMMV / Anchor Foal

• Jerkass Woobie: The audience is never quite sure how to feel about Caramel. On the one hand, he's definitely got his flaws, most frustrating of all being a seeming refusal to learn from his mistakes and just keep committing the same misdeeds over and over again. On the other hand, his brief time in the limelight also highlights that he's a very lonely stallion, he really does treat Fluttershy quite well on their date — to the point Fluttershy herself actually seems to be surprisingly comfortable — and given how his date is messed up by Discord, which leads to him being soaked by a sudden downpour (Discord again, but Rainbow gets blamed), it's not hard to feel a little sorry for him. Especially when it's subsequently revealed that Fleur was basically setting him up to take a fall all along, and she even thinks of him as her "designated victim" before he bows out of chapter 17.
