Name: Bayard
Gender: Male
Gender for Breeding Purposes: Male
Personality:
It comes to no surprise that the former king of a fallen kingdom would be very troubled. Bayard is constantly restless and on edge. He is always very anxious and tense, as he doesn't ever believe he is safe anymore. Bayard feels like a let down, a disappointment. He knows in his heart that he failed his kingdom. It used to be the greatest and most wealthy kingdom there was, but he was weak and a coward. He didn't help his army to fight the archers they brought, he didn't defend his people against the raiders. He ran. He retreated and brought some of his best men to protect him as he fled. Bayard kicks himself for letting himself for that. He angers himself and gets frustrated about thinking about that decision he made. He downgrades himself to the point that he gets depressed and runs away until he physically has to go back to the people who still care for him. Bayard is a worn soldier. He won't fight anymore. He makes sure everyone knows this and will accept this, because if there ever is a time where he is counted on to fight, he knows he won't be able to deliver. Bayard is intelligent and has a creative mind. He is not easily fooled and has his own deceptive ways. He was mighty and firm, yet gentle and caring. He was compassionate and always tried to think for his kingdom. He did not use the kingdom’s money for a grand palace, but instead put the money into his kingdom to improve it for everyone. Those traits are why he became such a good king, why his people loved him, and why not using them led to his downfall.

Explinations:
1. This song is very much like the animated and spirited townspeople he gets to watch over everyday.
2. Two brothers- beggars- play this song while sitting on rocks. The townspeople toss coins into their hats. They were encouraged to be kind by the king. Bayard looks out a window and hears their music. He sees them a short while away. He sees his people being kind to them; he tells one of his guards to go fetch them and tell them they can stay with him for the time being. He also offers them small jobs that pay. It isn’t anything special- rather only the least he could do. He would remember this song.
3. This song reflects ia particularly lively day in his kingdom. The farmers tend to their crops in the beautiful weather. Fresh bread is sold on the street by bakers. A small band begins to play music and all the townsmen gather 'round. They slowly emerge from their homes and begin to dance. They are all familiar with the song, and many sing or hum along. Everyone is smiling, having fun. A half smile forms appears on his face as Bayard watches their shenanigans from above, out his window. He loves how his kingdom is like one big family.
4. Bayard listens to this song that the townspeoples are dancing to. Everyone stops their harsh work to have a bit of fun. While that is going on, Bayard gets notice from some guards. A large sum of viscets with weapons have been spotted drawing near. Bayard panics in alarm, but calms himself down after hearing the music again. He doesn't know what they would want from him nor how he should approach this.
5. Bayard sound the alarm. The song reflects the screams of fear that can be heard from mothers and children. The main gate closes as Bayard watches in sorrow and panic; he sees his once lively people run into shelters. He watches some brave viscets run out, prepared to fight with him. His army rushes to their placements. A loud banging noise can be heard; the gate has been destroyed. A flood of cloaked viscets run in and immediately start setting fire to where-ever they go. His soldiers and some townspeople fight back. This is an invasion- this is a battle. His people fight against the invaders, but they are too strong. He watches from his palace. Fire is burning everything. All of those in kingdom are running to his palace in which an escape lays. The doors are open and the viscets flood out; they close before the invaders can get into the palace. Bayard cowardly goes with his people and leaves his soldiers and men to fight alone with no command.
6. His people trek on as far away as they can get. Children are crying. Viscets are screaming and calling out their mates names in hope to find them. Families reunited and hug tightly. Bayard looks back. In horror, he closes his eyes. He lets a tear escape. The image he sees is his palace ablaze. Everything is aflame. Everything he ever knew- everything his people ever knew- burns. A few children gaze back and wail in alarm. He sees a few of his men outside, limping, dragging themselves away in the distance. He knows they won't make it, he doesn't go back for them. He pushes his people on, in hopes to find a place for them. The women start to sing a mournful song to hush their children.
7. The people are hushed down. They are trying to grasp the situation. They are far out of danger. Families hug and kiss each other with thankfulness. Those who lost someone mourn them and are comforted. Another wave of anxiety sweeps over Bayard. He feels impatient and responsible for this. He is still unsure why viscet's decided to so suddenly attack and destroy everything.
