PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Shouto is quiet and reserved, preferring to stay just to the left of the spotlight instead of standing directly in the sun. Confident in himself, he doesn’t feel the need to be the center of attention despite what his father may think. He tries his hardest to be his own person, but it can be hard with peer and familial pressure around him. He values his freedom above all else and is determined to set the path of his life himself. While generally respectful to everyone, he’s a master of sass, capable of delivering deadpan insults at the drop of a hat. He tends to be a listener rather than an active participant in group discussions but is always paying attention to hear what others have to say. He can be quite oblivious to slang and innuendo leading to plenty of awkward situations.

HISTORY:
The youngest son of a Very Important Bronzerider and a harper, Shouto found himself put under the microscope from a very young age. As with all of Enji’s children, he was expected to Impress and Impress well. Even as a youngster he was thankful that he was raised in the creche as his father was absolutely unbearable to be around. Though Enji had his eye on Shouto and his siblings, they spent much more of their time with their mother. Rei was very fond of her children and spent what time she could with them.
Much of the first ten turns of Shouto’s life were spent in uncertainty under Golre’s reign. Though Enji was a staunch supporter, the rest of his family was not. Despite his age, Shouto was aware of the tension caused by it, especially between his father and Touya. His mother and Fuyumi tried to hide it from him, but they couldn’t shield him from it forever. When Golre finally fell, it seemed like everything would be okay. That was until Touya disappeared in the chaos of High Reaches liberation. It broke Rei’s heart, but for Shouto, it was almost a betrayal. Why hadn’t Touya taken him along? It wasn’t like he wanted to stay around Enji… but he had to, for his mother, his brother and sister, himself. He was going to make his own way and show his father he didn’t need him.
Over time, Touya’s loss was felt less and less. Shouto kept himself busy with chores and lessons, anything to distract himself. He was twelve when, during his chores in the kitchen, a drudge knocked a boiling pot of water over, splashing the boy in the face. Though he was immediately tended to, the left side of his face was badly scarred and he lost the sight in his eye. That incident was simply another trial he had to face before entering candidacy at fifteen, for himself, he had to repeat every time Enji would boast about him. At eighteen turns he was still standing following the hatching of the donated clutch, but even though he was left without a dragon, he befriended one of the new Weyrlings, a boy from Semaca. They became close following that hatching and eventually began dating. He would continue to wait for the next clutch, ready to stand for any eggs that came to the Reaches.
