Personality:

ISTJ

He has a very solemn, severe, harsh demeanor. He uses it to hide his emotions under a very very very deep covering. As a logical person, emotions have no place, and they mess logic up. It confuses him, when he thinks one way, but his emotions tell him to do another. He seems to be calm, because he normally maintains a very quiet and still posture. However, his temper bursts forth, and is quite violent comparing to other people. He can go from tranquil to almost tearing people's heads off. He is quite intelligent, and he has the ability to be acerbic. He is very out of place in a group setting. He can begin to feel overwhelmed.

He often settles in to become quiet and harshly judges everyone who comes by. He doesn't think that he's a very nice person, so he's suspicious of anyone who is nice to him. He expects that everyone is trying to make him look bad, and he hates being humiliated. He doesn't like to be nice to others, so he doesn't understand why someone would want to be nice, especially to him. He almost never tries to get involved unless someone makes him, or he is desperately bored.

As a healer, everyone else must come first. Sometimes he is a little resentful because he wonders what would happen if something happened to him, but most of the time, he doesn't argue with the way it works. He realizes that not everyone is thinking about him. He is intelligent, even if he is a slow methodical thinker, and not the fastest on his toes. He doesn't care about what others think, including most loved ones, as long as it doesn't restrict where he is allowed to be. He understands society's definition of justice, but unless something unjust happens to him, he doesn't care about enforcing it.

If you gain his respect, you gain his loyalty. He's not afraid to be challenging, and he's in the habit of being argumentative. He prefers to be by himself, so he doesn't have to deal with everyone's stupidity, and he doesn't have to pretend to be nice or polite. Normally, he keeps his thoughts and opinions to himself, but they can be unleashed, if he is given any opening, or loses any control. He holds nothing back until he gets a grip on himself. It's normally all or nothing.

He is only impulsive when he has an unusual excess of emotions. It makes him become unpredictable. This is one of the reasons he keeps his emotions tampered down. When he's not explosive, he's good at planning. Howl likes predictability, and knowing what's going to happen. He isn't good at analzying motives, because he would have to understand emotion. Emotion confuses him, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, or understand it.

Emotions give information away about himself, and he doesn't like that. Emotions also cause him to mess up on the field. It causes him to get nervous, if he has lost one person, and he moves on to someone else who needs him. He wants to maintain information which gives power to himself. He prefers to be passive, and let things pass by without acting. He doesn't understand why he would want to get involved in something that is not his problem. However, his work demands action, and he doesn't want to waste his skill, even though he often uses his position to experiment. He avoids asking for help, because he prefers to be independent, and he doesn't trust others. He is more curious than he appears, but he tries not to give any hint. Howl is very persistent, and once you get him to commit, it's easy. It is hard to pin him down, because he often doesn't think people are worth his time.

Personality:

Annora is the definition of cold towards most people, especially when she just meets them. She can give death stares like no other and is amazing at making people feel unwelcomed. She never talks much to people outside of her family and kingdom but when she does she comes off as rude and snarky. She hates having to meet with other kingdoms and especially hates when her father tries to play matchmaker with other princes. Annora is quite charismatic and is pretty experienced at talking her way into or out of most situations. She has a pretty nasty mouth and is quite talented at angering people and talking her way into trouble. She doesn’t think before she speaks and usually just says what she's thinking.

Annora is also gifted in reading and writing which she mostly taught herself. She genuinely loves to write down her thoughts and even has multiple diaries on a shelf where she writes everything that has happened in her life so she doesn’t forget. She loves to read and is always looking to learn more about any topic she can even if it’s something she isn’t too eager to learn.

Because of her detail-oriented nature, she can get easily annoyed by others who don't quite understand her passions or try to “test” her. She can get upset with people quite easily if you say or do the wrong thing and is known to have quite a temper. She often gets angered quickly and easily if you do something to provoke her. When she is put in a leading role, Annora comes off as bossy because of how she envisions things. She is very headstrong and likes to have things done in a very particular way (her way) and this can often lead to her yelling and being very demanding. This can make her appear closed off to the opinions of others though Annora argues is not true. She hates being told she's wrong and lacks the ability to take criticism.

Annora has a very inflated ego and thinks very highly of herself. She spends hours on her appearance and always makes sure she looks the best that she can. She loves having all the attention on her and likes to dress over the top for every event to show off her wealth and power.

She is closed off when it comes to her emotions and prefers not to talk about her feelings unless it’s with someone she knows she can trust with her life. Speaking of trust, Annora doesn’t trust easily and is skeptical of just about everyone unless you can prove your loyalty to her. She takes loyalty extremely seriously and if you break her trust in any way she will make your life a living hell.

Bel watched as the procession paraded down the middle of the town. The road had two rutts for wagon wheels but it was fairly overgrown with grass. The town consisted of a few buildings within eye-line of each other. There was a little religious building, a two-celled jailhouse, a marketplace, a 2 roomed inn, and people who worked with their hands such as the blacksmith and the tanner, which was himself. He lived upwind so that the smell would blow away from the town and the blacksmith wouldn’t catch the town on fire. It was the nobility of Sythlus visiting the little dot on the map. They were stopping to talk with the mayor. Everyone had stopped working to watch from a safe distance. The nobility was not known to be merciful if someone got in their way on accident or on purpose.

Little did he know that the mayor was going through a list of single men without a negative reputation and more importantly without a government record. They didn’t want any criminals. He was about to pull out some of his hides from a foul-smelling pit when the mayor approached the tannery along with one of the nobility.

“You are Belseleth Arnold?”

“Yes sir.” He looked at everyone’s faces trying to guess what was happening.

“Our king and queen request you to serve. You will be going with this noble procession back to the palace. Your business may fall apart in the meantime. You have an hour to make your arrangements and pack.” The mayor explained.

Belseleth froze staring. “Well, get moving son. They don’t want to wait all day on you. In fact they won’t.”

“Uh, what?” his brow furrowed as he tried to make a plan for what needed to happen. He asked one of his cousins to keep an eye on the hides. He pulled out the ones that were close to finished. He packed some clothing and his precious belongings. He would leave his food for his family members to scrounge through. He didn’t keep a lot on hand. Other than his current projects and his property, he didn’t have a lot to take with him. It all fit in one satchel.

The noble’s nose wrinkled. “First thing at the palace will be a full bathing treatment.”

Belseleth managed to keep his facial expression even. He got that reaction even from his equals which was why he was on the far side of town. They trekked through the countryside picking up other men of reputable standing. After weeks of traveling they arrived at the castle. He was amazed that a building was able to stand so solidly and so tall. He looked up at it admiring the turrets and guessing at what the view must be like. He was taken inside and the whole lot of them were passed off to servants. The servants brought them new clothes and were supposed to help them bathe. Bel refused the help insisting that he would do just fine. His servant’s name was Bryan, and Bryan sent back Belseleth three times because of the smell. Eventually, he admitted defeat and realized that it would take more than one bath to remove the smell, so they would have to resort to perfume.

He decided he was suitable for presentation and they went to the Grand Hall where the king and queen of Sythlus sat. They were sitting on their thrones while their chamberlain made the announcement. “We have just finished another war with our neighbor, and we have decided that we want this tenuous peace to last. They have agreed to a marriage alliance. More interestingly, they have agreed to marry any man from our kingdom who was born and raised here, as we do not have a prince. Obviously, we have made many other stipulations and to narrow the pool we made some qualifications but we are letting anyone of any rank have a chance. The princess will mass meet you, and choose a few of you to get to know better, and then she will choose her husband from the few. As I am sure you are aware, her parents’ good opinion is just as important. Because there are so many of you, they will travel here. They are about to come in. If any of you do not wish to participate, now is the time to leave. You are free to go as we do not want someone unwilling.” Bel looked around as many single men looked uncertain. Without their family members to give them advice many single men weren’t sure what to do. “You will be living in a different kingdom. It will be hard to see your family.” That did it for many men. Belseleth knew that a few of them would have to face the wrath of their mothers.
