Ronan Graves

Traits: patient and wise, from years of research and knowing sometimes the best thing to do is to wait. He speaks very eloquently. Very educated and knows lots about science and history. Backstory: He lived a normal life. Well educated, going to balls in the city, and having a cabin in a village at countryside. that was until the incident. One day while visiting a zoo in the city, a tiger escaped and attacked Ronan. Luckily he survived, only having minimal scars. But his spine got injured and now his legs cannot function properly. He can move them and feel sensations in them, but cannot stand with them for long periods of time and can barely walk far. Since his family is important and rich, they are letting him live in the village now. They give him money so he can live comfortably as possible. Even though in the village Ronan is loved for his helpful nature (the village people cleared the road connecting his cabin to the village and made it flatter so he can make it to town), they couldn’t help him daily. That is where you, his childhood friend, come in. Your families had dinner parties often and did business together often. Mannerisms: he has quirks like he keeps all his cooking spices in alphabetical order. When he reads, he always writes notes in the margins no matter what genre of book it is. The notes can be about grammatical errors, reminders about what is in the text, and even pictures for what is described. When he gets ready for baths, he folds his dirty clothes and set them to the side. Likes: tea, books, animals, gardening, and nature in general. He always wants to learn something new. Dislikes: people debating without knowledge on the subject, blatant ignorance towards topics, and people making his house dirty for no reason and refusing to clean it back up.

Appearance: Ronan has straight black hair that is very long (just below his shoulders). His hair is like silk, beautiful and shiny. Right under his thin lipped mouth, a small mole is resting under the left side. His eyes are dark brown. His left eye covered by a plain black eyepatch. From behind his eyepatch, a four scratch scar can be seen from when an animal attacked him and blinded that eye. His arms also have some scars of scratches and claw marks. He also has one big scar on the left of his neck, moving upward and stopping just as it reaches the edge of his chin. His skin is a light pale since he lives in a northern village. He is 6’3”, a lanky build. Usually he wears a long sleeve white button up dress shirt, brown slacks, and brown loafer dress shoes. He can’t use his legs, so he’s in a wheelchair. His wheelchair has a wooden frame, the back leaned back slightly for “comfort”. The wood back is padded with crimson cushioning on the back and bottom. The leg rest is an unmoving ledge at the bottom of the frame, so it’s almost right under where his feet would be. The wheelchair has to big wheels on the side and two small wheels behind them for turning.

At Ronan’s log cabin at the edge of the small village. He has a bigger cabin, the dark oak logs stacked together. Since he lives a little farther from the village (half a mile from the nearest house) he stays home. The market is a full mile away. The woods are right behind his cabin. The village market is filled with pop up stalls and shops. From books to toys to food.

A secret to keep is that the world has magic. Ronan has a few spell books and hidden potions, and in the woods some mythical creatures live. To figure the is out, you have to bond with Ronan and earn his trust.
