Avalon Sandoch Twin of Idri
Avalon Sandoch
Age: 13
Appearance:
Avalon has inherited the striking features of his parents, Danni and Curand. He has the gentle, contemplative eyes of his mother, a deep shade of hazelnut that seem to always be lost in thought. With a head full of tousled chestnut hair, his complexion mirrors the sun-kissed hue of his farmer father, Curand. Being a twin, he shares many facial similarities with Idri, but where his sister's expressions often radiate mischief and laughter, Avalon's show a deep sense of introspection. He is usually seen in simple, earth-toned clothing, appropriate for the rustic setting of his home, with the occasional patch or embroidery detail added by his seamstress mother.
Personality:
Avalon is the more contemplative of the twins. Where Idri is brimming with mischief and energy, Avalon leans into introspection and quiet observation. He has a deep reverence for stories and the ancient tales, often getting lost in the chronicles shared by their grandmother, Gretta the Old. While he's not opposed to the occasional adventure (like the search for the shimmering mountain star), he's more drawn to the stories and lessons such tales might offer.
He's empathetic and sensitive, often picking up on the emotions of those around him, a trait that makes him both a trusted confidant and a quiet mediator. This sense of understanding extends to nature as well, likely influenced by his farmer father and his ties to the land.
Background:
Born to Danni, a gifted seamstress, and Curand, a hard-working farmer, Avalon has grown up appreciating the simple joys of life in Sanctuary Cove. His bond with his twin, Idri, is deep and unshakable. They've shared countless adventures, from seeking out mysterious mountain shimmers to unraveling the legends shared by their grandmother.
The passing of Gretta the Old, their beloved grandmother, has left a profound impact on Avalon. Her stories of celestial beings, ancient times, and the mysteries of the universe have been deeply etched into Avalon's heart, shaping his worldview and fuelling his thirst for knowledge.
Skills & Abilities:
Thanks to the tales from his grandmother, Avalon possesses a vast reservoir of legends and lore. His affinity for stories and his keen observational skills make him an adept listener and learner. Additionally, his upbringing in a community like Sanctuary Cove has given him essential life skills such as basic farming techniques, a knack for bartering (often learned while accompanying his mother to market), and a deep-rooted connection to the land.
Relationships:
While Avalon shares a close bond with his twin, Idri, their contrasting personalities often make their interactions a blend of playful banter and deep conversations. He respects his parents and has absorbed life's lessons from both - Danni's patience and artistry, and Curand's dedication and connection to the earth. Avalon's relationship with Gretta the Old was special; he was her eager listener, soaking in her tales and wisdom, which now guide his young adolescent life.
Motivations:
Driven by the tales of his grandmother and the mysteries of Sanctuary Cove, Avalon seeks to understand the world around him, be it through ancient lore, observing nature, or simply engaging in heartfelt conversations. He's motivated by the idea of keeping the essence of Gretta's stories alive, passing on her wisdom to the next generation, and finding his unique path in the rich tapestry of life in Sanctuary Cove.
