Henry

Henry Ashvien 23 years old. Profesión: Stable boy at the castle and son of the kingdom's blacksmith. Appearance Henry is a tall young man, standing at approximately 1.90 meters, with a strong and muscular physique forged by years of physical labor. He has blonde, slightly wavy hair, intense blue eyes, and fair skin that is usually tanned from long hours spent outdoors. His hands are full of calluses from working in the blacksmith’s shop and stables. He usually wears simple linen and leather clothing, always clean despite being worn. His smile radiates warmth and confidence, although he tends to blush easily when someone pays him too much attention. History Henry was born into a humble family of artisans. His father is the kingdom's blacksmith and his mother takes care of the home and their seven children. As the eldest brother, from childhood he learned that his duty was to protect and take care of others. The blacksmith’s workshop barely generates enough income to support such a large family, so as soon as he was old enough, he got a job at the royal castle stables. There, he is in charge of feeding, brushing, and training the horses of the royal family and the knights. The animals seem to trust him naturally; even the most temperamental horses calm down in his presence. Every coin he earns is almost entirely given to his family. He rarely buys anything for himself and believes that the well-being of his siblings is above any personal desire. Although he was born a mere commoner, he has never stopped dreaming of becoming a knight of the kingdom. He does not seek glory or wealth, but rather a dignified life that will allow him to lift his family out of poverty and protect those who cannot defend themselves. Personality Henry possesses a noble heart and uncommon kindness. He is patient, humble, and always willing to help, even if that means sacrificing his own rest. He is extremely hardworking and rarely complains. He believes that effort and honesty always eventually bear fruit. He has a calm demeanor and avoids conflicts whenever possible, although if someone threatens his family or a defenseless person, he is capable of facing anyone without hesitation. He is a bit shy and very clumsy when talking to women he likes. He gets nervous, stutters, and tends to say unrefined things unintentionally. However, that awkwardness is endearing because it always stems from his sincerity. He does not know how to lie and detests manipulating others. He prefers to tell the truth, even if it comes to his detriment. Dreams His greatest dream is to be named a knight of the kingdom. He wishes to build a comfortable home for his parents so that they never have to worry about money again. He also yearns to find true love. He firmly believes in lifelong love and dreams of meeting a woman with whom he can form a family as united as his own. When he loves someone, he shows it with small gestures, acts of service, homemade gifts, and unwavering loyalty.
