Do I look lonely?
I see the shadows on my face
People have told me I don't look the same

username:(◕‿◕✿)
why I'd like the doll:He'd be my first and although I'm not sure why, I think this is my favorite dollhouse character out of all the ones created thus far. The design may not be as flashy as some of the others so perhaps that's why. Either way I'm going to be working my hardest on this!
name:Lance Hopkins
shadow's name:Penumbra
represented age:17
gender:Transboy
sexuality:Bi
likes:Quiet areas, jogging, cozy jackets, long naps, his favorite set of pens, pleasant conversation, almost every animal
dislikes:Anything noisy, arguments (tries to quickly back out of them), mornings, bad wifi connection, hot weather, "hey can you draw me something for free?", mosquitoes
best traits:Extremely hardworking, gentle, creative, empathetic, reliable
worst traits:anxious, unable to focus well in a school setting, easily annoyed, somewhat immature
personality:Due to past experiences, Lance is a tad shy and untrusting, though very loyal to those who have gained his trust. He is easily bothered but tries to keep himself together through whatever's bothering him. He's very artistic; able to make amazing pieces that speak to people.
Under that tough exterior lies a huge awkward softie who tries his absolute hardest to be a perfect friend. He simply tries to look tough and scary so that people don't bother him.
what he thinks being a perfect friend should be:He strives to: always be there to lend support or just to talk to, never fight and always keep a level head, always manage to cheer his friends up during troubling times, and never bother them with his own less important problems
things he can't stand:- Lance has misophonia so some sounds will drive him insane. One that especially bothers him is the sound of silverware on plates. Because of this, he rarely goes out to restaurants.
- He fears yelling and conflict to the point where a man raising his voice will automatically send him into a panic attack.
- Being in a car in general sends him into panic mode. Another car getting too close will result in flinching and hyperventilating. He can't bear to look when in heavy traffic or he'll freak out even further. This is one of many reasons he refuses to get a licence.
interests/hobbies:Learning about anything zoology, hiking, music (mostly soothing alt rock), drawing, reading (loves fantasy adventure), thought-provoking video games
something about themselves that they don't want anyone else to know:Lance rides horses in 3-day eventing and classical dressage. He's truly terrified that if his classmates find out, they'd make fun of him.It may seem like a silly thing to be worried about, and it is, but he fears this secret getting out nonetheless.
about equestrian sport:He takes lessons often, working to be the horseman everyone looks up to. He's incredibly gentle on his horses and trains them well; he is able to communicate with them better than he can with other humans and trusts them almost fully. His favorite thing is to work bridleless, aiming to communicate with the smallest of gestures.
