FULL APPEARANCE:
Byleth is a slender and fit young man with kind blue eyes. His black hair is kept short but attractively tousled as it refuses to do anything else. While pale, his skin has a healthy hue due to his tendency to stay outside; however, he burns easily if he's not careful. He carries himself with an easy, confident air and looks every bit of his five feet eleven inches. He most often wears clothes for working and seems most comfortable in casual, well made garments. He feels very much out of place in formal wear, and even more so when old ladies tell him how handsome he looks in his gather clothes.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Byleth is a kind, caring soul with a passion for learning and imparting knowledge to others. He's something of a Jack of All Trades, having learned a little about a lot in his travels. He possesses an impressive amount of knowledge pertaining to caravan life, such as the best way to repair a wagon wheel or which wild plants are edible, and takes immense pride in that knowledge. Should he overhear a topic being mentioned he has no qualms about sharing everything he knows, even to total strangers. It's not rude to interrupt if you're sharing information, right?
He's a bit oblivious in social situations out of inexperience rather than malice, but with some guidance he'll get better at it. Byleth likes spending time around others, sometimes listening, sometimes participating, but always helpful. He tries to be helpful to those around him to the point of neglecting himself. He needs a reminder that it's okay to take care of and do things for himself, like reading, something he's found great joy in as a candidate.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother- Sitri, deceased
Father- Jeralt
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Small cothold near Benden
HISTORY: TW: Death in Childbirth
Byleth was born on the go, the caravan near a small cothold when Sitri gave birth. Unfortunately, she did not survive and Jeralt was left to raise their son without her. There was plenty of help from the other members of the caravan, but no one could replace his lost love. Her absence went unnoticed by Byleth for the most part as caravan life and the responsibilities that came with it dominated his days. Learning came easy to him and from the time he was small he made himself useful. He was gifted a firelizard egg for his tenth turnday that hatched into a sprightly Green he named Sothis.
For the longest time he was certain he'd never want to leave the caravan. Even when visiting Weyrs, fascinating as they were, the open road was where he thought he was meant to be. He was wrong, though. He was freshly turned twenty when they visited Fort as they had many times before, though this time he was unexpectedly Searched. It wasn't an easy decision to make; leave the life and family he'd known since birth for the unknown? But there were so many opportunities at Fort that he wouldn't have while travelling... and perhaps it was time to branch out on his own. Thus, he accepted, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to candidacy, working hard to catch up to his peers.
