Fashion Style:

Eduard is the kind of boy who wears nice clothes. By nice, it is not meant to say designer T-shirts and brand-name jeans. By nice, one would mean dress shirts and vests with tweed jackets. Though his clothes he has at Sangvene are no as nice as those he wore in Russia, he still wears the same styles of clothes. He has a pair of hardy brown ankle boots which he wears practically everywhere and a brown tweed jacket for the colder parts of the year. He loves scarves but hates ties.

Appearance:

Look at the picture. I'm lazy and might write a description later.

History:

Eduard was born in Moscow, Russia as the second child of a fairly well-to-do family. His mother was a nymph and his father human, but there was never any animosity towards himself or his mother, at least until until the war broke out. As it is with all world wars, the greatest amount of fighting was condensed to Europe, though all the nations of the earth struggled. Somehow his parents both managed to keep out of the conflict, neither wanting to join the side against the other's kind. His father's business suffered but somehow they managed to keep their staff hired and estate in good repair.
---------When the war ended, the Romanovs felt relief, but at the same time pain as it did not end in mutual agreement, but rather in dominance and defeat. The days of peace were gone. Eduard and his sister Anya, both nymphs, switched to private tutoring for their education as their parents feared they would be taken to one of those horrible camps if they so much as talked back to a teacher. However, when their cousin Gavriel was being taken away due to complications with their family, Eduard tried to save him, resulting in himself being taken away to Sangvene as well.

Why they were convicted:

He tried to help his cousin escape when he was being sent to Sangvene.

Years in the Camp: Less than one year
Life in the Camp:

Eduard spends most of his time looking out for his cousin Gavriel. He is the chief food provider of the two and the more responsible. Sometimes he will help out Trick with some pranks and mischief, but he spends more of his time trying to get the them both out of trouble rather than into it.

Personality:

Eduard is the calculative type. He always has a plan and rarely acts without thinking first, even if his thought are all condensed into a few seconds of time before jumping into action. Due to the effects of the war, being thrown into Sangvene, and the natural set-up of who he is, Eduard is remarkably mature for his age. Though he might play a prank from time to time and does not mind a good laugh, he is generally focused on what needs to be done to keep him and his family safe, fed, and alive.

Likes:

Dislikes:

- Being stuck indoors
- Heights (trees are the exception)

Skills:

- Despite not liking it, Eduard is a skilled hunter, his ability to feel the forest and move with it gives him an advantage.
- He has street smarts and wilderness survival skills so surviving in the woods of Sangvene is not impossible for him.
- Ed is surprisingly good at ball room dance.
- When it comes to tracking, fighting, and running, Eduard is very quick on his feet. He is deft with a knife and knows how to use the forest around him to his advantage. He sees his natural poison as a last resort as he thinks killing, if you have another option, makes you nothing more than an animal.

Weaknesses:

-Ed has a hard time trusting and opening up to people and his trust once lost is lost forever.
- Though in the forest he is strong, quick, and nearly impossible to catch, if in a building or place without foliage, he is weaker physically, more irritable mentally, and without the plants to bend to his will in defense or attack.
- If he eats any animal produce he will be sick for days because it is like poison to his metabolism.

Interesting Factoids:

- In his home back in Russia, the bedrooms were all on the first story which had no floors. Instead the ground was covered in grass. They all had plants growing in their rooms and windows for walls which they covered with curtains at night. Eduard and Anya's father was human and did not need to be so close to nature, but he rather enjoyed their living situation and took on many of the habits of nymphs from his wife and children.
- Eduard enjoys sitting in a tree and just listening to and feeling the forest around him. It helps him relax when he his stressed, tried, or just in a bad mood.
- Though he would never admit it, Ed wants to someday be married and have children. He would probably make a good father.

Possessions:

Eduard owns two pairs of clothes, one for winter, and one for summer. He has a hunting knife, a few throwing knives, a book on Botany, and a single book collection of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.

Other:

Eduard is a bit of a realist.
