Character Name: Nathaniel Shea Drale
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Moroi
Element (Only for Moroi): Earth
Appearance:
Nathaniel has the notable pale skin of his kind. His bronze colored hair is usually kept short though it usually remains unkempt. It sticks up mostly in the front which makes it appear as if he does it on purpose. He rarely goes through much effort to keep it neat and simply thinks it gives him sort of a rugged appearance. In the rare instances when he’s out during the day, or when the light hits his hair at just the right angle, his hair seems to shine just like actual polished bronze.
His wide eyes are a deep hazel color that slowly faces to a light blue just around the edges. He stands about five feet and eleven inches. His thin body only weighs in at one hundred and forty pounds. He’s not one to immediately stand out in a crowd despite his best efforts. No noticeable scars nor marks of any kind.
Personality: Shea likes to do things at his own pace. Sometimes this makes him appear lazy to those who don’t know him very well. When there is need for it he can act in a swift manner. However, he will usually feel pressured in those situations and become quite nervous. There are few things that he can really claim to like. One thing is he likes to read. Mostly due to it being one thing he can always do at his own pace. His favorite types of books would fall in the fantasy category. He’s always had a fascination with old tales of heroics and chivalry.
There are times he attempts to mimic these qualities. In most situations it takes a turn for the worst. One such situation left him quite scarred and fearful of deep water. Due to this fear he is also rather distrustful of those who specialize in the element of Water. When he’s around one he will typically act fairly nervous, and much to his dismay he tends to rub the back of his neck when he gets really nervous. He will rarely make eye contact if he doesn’t feel comfortable around someone. He understands it his dislike for them isn’t right, but he can’t help but remain wary around anyone who has the ability to drown him while his feet are touching solid ground. He usually feels more comfortable out with his feet firmly upon the grass and soil. He believes this might have something to do with the fact that he specialized in Earth.
When it comes right down to it he’s a respectful young man who has his own flaws. He can be somewhat social when he wants to. However, he hates being put on a spot which happens more often than not. Due to this he’ll usually try to deflect the attention by drawing attention to another. That or he just tries to control the flow of a conversation before it happens.
History: While Shea was born to a non-royal family he has spent most of his life at the academy. Mostly due to the fact his family has no guardians to protect him and his parents feel much safer with him behind the protective wards of the academy and the under the watchful eyes of the school’s guardians. He had an older sister that died when a Strigoi decided to ransack their home. He was too young at the time to really remember it so his family simply told him she had traveled to Europe and left it at that. He has seen pictures of her so if he ever saw her as a Strigoi he would recognize her though it would most certainly give him quite a shock.
When he turned eleven he actually got to spend a summer with his parents. There was this small group of non-royals he would hang out during the rare times he went home. On this occasion a boy named Moric had tormented one of Shea’s closest friends by pushing him into a lake the group occasionally spent their summers at in an attempt to survive the dreary hot nights. This was one of those times Shea decided to act “heroic” and tried to pull his friend, who couldn’t swim, out of the water. However Moric would have none of that. He promptly pushed Shea in. Once Shea swam back up, he simply laughed it off as if he slipped. To this day, while he can’t prove it, he swears Moric tried to drown him.
Just as he lifted his friend on the dock he felt the water suddenly press in on him and under he went. After several frightening moments, which seemed like hours to him, Shea finally managed to break to the surface and crawl his way towards land. As he lay there coughing up water, he heard several boys laughing. Including Moric who Shea knew had specialized in Water. To this day he has had a deeply ingrained fear of water and a deep distrust for those specialized in Water. Aside from these events Shea’s life has been pretty uneventful. He makes decent grades in school and managed to keep a somewhat decent reputation with the rest of the students.
