Personality
Ben is initially introduced as a quiet and shy young man who keeps to himself; he sleeps in the loft above the stables. He is an apprentice to Father to learn how to run a store and has been there since before a month into the events of Meet Felicity. Felicity does not think much of him initially, as thanks to his presence she no longer is able to help at Merriman's Store and must go home and do things she finds boring such as sewing and cooking.

Meet Felicity: An American Girl
Ben is first mentioned when Felicity asks if she can stay and help at Merriman's store. Father points out that she has forgotten that since Ben is there, she isn't needed. Felicity thinks that it's easy to forget Ben as he's quiet. When Mrs. Fitchett requests that Mr. Merriman have Marcus deliver oats to her house, he says that Ben can do this as he is heading that way in the afternoon to deliver a bit and harness to Jiggy Nye. This leads to the conversation that Felicity overhears about Penny.
