PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Francel is a gentle soul, often offering a soft word or a kind gesture to those around him. He is a smart young man, good with numbers and has a natural knack for organizing things and its often something he enjoys doing, especially when he feels its important and making a difference.
He is not very assertive and still even as an adult he can get painfully shy and when he does, his face often turns cherry pink and he stutters over his words. He is also terrible when it comes to romance and romantic interactions and often is oblivious to the very notion and does not see or understand if someone is interested in him unless its made very obvious.
He is a proper young holder son and his breeding often shows in how he is excessively polite and proper, perhaps giving off a degree of airs that he does not feel. Also do to his early childhood struggles, he has a very touchy stomach and absolutely can not handle spicy foods or eat at all when he is distressed, his body often immediately rejecting it.

HISTORY:
Francel was the youngest son and last child born to Lord Baurendouin and Lady Francine and from the moment of his birth, his life was a struggle. As an infant, he had trouble gaining weight and was often a sickly child as he grew and many whispers went about if he would survive more than a few turns at best. But survive he did, even if he spent a good portion of his young child life sequestered as possible to prevent catching illness in addition to his frail constitution.
Despite a rough start in life, he grew into a much healthier young lad as he entered his teenage years, although his form was slender, tall and took a great deal after his mother in body shape, unlike his brothers who were a bit of a stockier build like their father. He enjoyed his books and learning as he began to ponder his future. He was keenly fascinated with most living creatures and found the idea of a dragon very appealing but his duties never really permitted him to seek out the search dragons when they were near.
His parent's lack of faith on his ability to succeed really hurt him, as the constant coddling never seemed to stop, even as he began to prove he was capable of more than they seemed to believe him to be. He began to dream of escaping the confines of the noble life and venturing out into the world to prove to his family that he could make his mark, that he was capable of more than they seemed to believe. During this time he had gotten word that Semaca was in need of able bodied folk to help with construction efforts and the like and he had often helped organize and manage some tasks around the hold with his father as a young lad.
So it was with his desire to help those that he could with his skills that, he put aside his duties at home and left for Semaca, with his father's blessing to aid in the efforts. Because surely he would be coming back home soon enough..right?
He was very fortunate as he impressed to a lovely brown named Vettith in his first year standing. While it was a big adjustment at first having another creature sharing his thoughts and he hearing them, the bond they forged as they grew together could not be shattered and Francel loves his dragon. Moreover, the pair complimented one another well, strong in the areas where the other needed it. When they graduated from the Weyrling wing, he chose to join the Chopin wing and this is where he remains.
