Name: William Blue
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Occupation: Olympic Equestrian Athlete
Personality: Will was born in an environment where he was allowed to express his emotions and follow his passions. Because of this, he is a charming, emotionally intelligent young man with an amusing sense of humor. He is very polished and well-mannered, though he can have a flair for the dramatics at times. He tends to be fairly giving, social, and protective of his many friends.
Appearance: Will has inherited his father's lighter hair, which is a dark blonde color and somewhat fluffy. He also has his mother's expressive facial features, including her nearly tan eye color and long eyelashes. He is tall and lean, standing at around 6'2 with a muscular build from years of training and competing in eventing. Will is often seen wearing equestrian gear, but when he does dress up he takes after his mother's fashion sense, always looking sharp and put-together.
Background: Will grew up on his parents' famous equestrian center in the mountains of Germany. His mother was a British-German Olympic figure skater turned eventer, and his father was a British Olympic eventer. They met in the United States at a farm they both worked for, and moved to Germany to start their own business when his grandfather died. Being raised on the farm, Will quickly developed an appreciation for horses and developed his skills in eventing as he aged. At a fairly young age, he moved to the UK with his mom, who continued to support him as he grew rapidly in the equestrian world and landed significant roles on different teams. Having now been to two Olympic games, Will is a very well-known individual by virtually anyone. He has moved to the ranch to lay low and recover after sustaining an injury that has left him unable to walk.
Skills: Will is extremely good at staying cool under pressure, and his down-to-earth personality makes him extremely excellent at engaging with others. He has a natural charisma about him that makes him prime for speeches, formal outings, and petitions for things such as money and resources. He's also got excellent emotional intelligence and a very kind heart.
Interests: Will is intrigued by fashion and other areas within the arts. He's been known to do some modeling and also thoroughly enjoys things such as language and culture.
Strengths: Emotional intelligence and charm are two of Will's greatest strengths. He's very good at interacting with others, to the point where he may even be considered manipulative. He can get nearly anyone to do anything for him, and he has tremendously good health.
Weaknesses: Will is bad at setting boundaries with others, and he struggles with being a bit of an airhead sometimes. He's been known to leave a horse gate or a latch undone from time to time, and he tends to be fairly clumsy.
Relationships: Will has had a few high-profile relationships in the past, but none with other equestrians. He's mainly dated very attractive actresses who have been quite dramatic and controversial, though he's maintained his kindhearted nature. He's been single for a few months, but his PR team is pushing for him to get into something new soon to make up for his lack of successes and media presence as of late.
Reputation: Will has a fairly flawless reputation, and many young women have massive crushes on him. Because of his ex-girlfriends, he's crossed borders into the mainstream media and has developed a reputation as a boy-next-door type. He's known to be very sweet and perhaps even to choose girls who are undeserving of him.
