Zoru - 26 - Knight of the Royal Guard
Appearance
-----
Upper Body: Rosy beige skin, scarred torso
Hair: Messy, clumpy, chin-length dark brown hair. She wears the front of her hair in two small braids tucked behind her ears
Eyes: Deep, colourless grey
Build: Draft
Fur: Pale grey, darker splots speckle her upper legs and fade into black furred ankles
-----
History
-----
Family: Out of all her family, Zoru gets along with her brother, Eldrud, the best. This is not to say the two are friends, since he, her mother Valk and father Nedhen are exasperated by her at best. Her other siblings, Erla and Selzah, both found her unending energy tiring, and, since they left home for work and study, Zoru hasn't heard from them since her late childhood. Her family is well-known, but have been slowly losing acclaim and funds for over two decades now. Their fade into unimportance was halted by Zoru's appointment to the royal guard, but they still teeter on the edge.
Relations: As a royal guard, Zoru has had brief meetings with Evolett, whose free spirit she finds admirable. Mainly, however, she has been assigned to guard Menet, though her carefree attitude has jeopardized this position more than once. Despite this, she cares a great deal for Menet, who she finds easy to talk to, and admires his spirit.
Background: Zoru was an unruly child, needing constant attention from her elder siblings lest she wander off and end up playing places she shouldn't. Since a short while before her birth, her family's noble status has been teetering, and her parents were greatly relieved when she found an honorable calling in the royal guard.
-----
Character
-----
Crude, yet enigmatic, Zoru's strange temperament hasn't brought her much in the way of close friends. Despite this, she is an outgoing mare, and not disliked by her fellow guards, though they find her puzzling and are often caught off guard by her directness. She finds it difficult to stay serious, regularly cracking poorly timed jokes, or daydreaming and messing around. She seems unable, or unwilling, to change her attitude, much to her noble family's exasperation. She and her family don't see eye to eye on many things, though she cares for them a lot.
Despite her role, she has a kind and peaceful mentality, and is fearful of war between the two kingdoms.
Menet - 24 - Crown Prince
Appearance
-----
Upper Body: Pale and skinny
Hair: Thin, silky chestnut brown hair that he wears cut just above his back, tucked behind his ears.
Eyes: Muddy green, with flecks of deep brown
Build: Warmblood
Fur: Smooth chestnut fur and a long black tail
-----
History
-----
Family: Menet's family, the royal family, needs no introduction, which is sometimes a brief annoyance for him. Though he hates all the niceties and dancing around, he does care for his family, and is glad to be a part of something so important.
Relations: Though he hasn't had many chances to leave the castle, he is on good terms with many inside it, especially his guard, Zoru, whose company is always uplifting and fun.
Background: When things went wrong for him as a child, Menet always found a way to put them right, or, much to his family's dismay, found someone to blame. He's had a strong sense of good and evil since his younger days, though it wasn't always correct. His strong moral compass has stood, though changed, until today.
-----
Character
-----
Above all else, Menet is stubborn. Some would call it determination, others difficultness, but backed by an unwavering sense of justice, most see Menet's unyielding nature as a strength. He has grown enough from his childhood, however, to learn to see the things he can't change and make the best of them. This restraint often shocks those who know him, especially those who have been close to him for a long time, since this side of his doesn't show often.
(This is really late, apologies! I was sick for a few days and didn't get around to finishing them!)
