amigo amigo








the girl that began the trend of alfred's creatures hating arthur. Thanks to my friend Sovan for her. :> also revised alfred's bio a bit:

… a young man with wheat-colored hair and blue eyes like the fields and sky from the land that gave birth to him. Unlike the other spirits – even the spirits of many other colonies – Alfred was born with no one. He spent much of his childhood wandering around the wilderness avoiding the fierce guardians from Europe who was fighting for the land and him. After a confrontation between Francis and Arthur, he recognized a similar loneliness in the latter.
Though strong, healthy and hearty, Alfred almost perished during the Anglo-Spaniard Wars at Roanoke when his state forgot to send the colony supplies for three years. Arthur returned and saved Alfred from the clutches of death, and would move on to establish Jamestown. However, Arthur’s authority figures would call him abroad to tend to other matters after Govert was forced out of the Americas. Under King George the I and II and the Saluatory Neglect Acts, Alfred would live his life in mostly isolation on his Virginian Estate. Though he and Arthur’s colonists enjoyed the freedom, it meant, for Alfred, a childhood wrought with loneliness.
Alfred grew at an abnormal and unprecedented speed compared to the rest of his kind and by the time Arthur returned decades and decades later, Alfred was a young man and a stranger. Alfred is bright, resourceful and a quick-learner, and even has a workshop filled with inventions and ideas (which are mostly impractical or worthless) underneath his estate.
Despite any wit or intelligence, the boy is a “dream chaser” and has his head up in the clouds. Combined with decades and decades of isolation on the frontiers of the world, he is completely useless to all things involving politics and – to Arthur’s dismay – gentlemanly etiquette. He is absorbed into his own world to care about his surroundings.
