Personality:
Polite, Stubborn / determined and a little naive. Talfryn is not so much full of smarts but if you give him a job he will get it done. Top marks for work ethic even if it's something he despises doing.
He will always help anyone in need no matter how small or insignificant ,as well as making an effort to teach the newer students how to settle in. He cares more for his fellow students now and knows that the experiences he had when first coming the academy can be turned to be a positive influence on other, less confident students. Much more mature and less zealous he has a good routine of learning from doing, which often includes getting into situations he would much rather not be in and finding a way out. Finally feeling that he has accepted his fate of being a knight and not a cobbler like he had originally dreamed as a kid, maturing into a competent fighter who is able to negotiate and lead when necessary.
He believes that a lot of this is down to Spending time with Sloan, her feelings and opinions of him are the most important of all and he tries to avoid getting on her bad side.
Skills:
A dab hand with cooking and master of boot making. If you need a belt or a shoe fixing he’s the guy to go to. He has made all his own leather armour and accessories and loves fixing up peoples loftwing saddles. Since being in the academy his skills have taken a more practical war approach and it's not often he finds himself with time to design shoes, unless it is for a special occasion.
He is terrible at archery, and this is not due to his missing eye but because he is still struggling with how to actually fire a bow correctly. Often he will be stood so close to his target he might as well use his sword.
His focus in recent times has been training himself in hand to hand combat. Fist fights are nothing unusual when you grow up with 6 brothers and he wants to ensure that even if unarmed, he can still help.
Bio / Origin / Family:
Talfryn’s family are cobblers, creating top quality foot wear and boots for all the people of the Sky. They own a store in the Main town on Crescent Reservoir and have made shoes for pretty much everyone.
Since the birth of his baby sister, Tatilyn, Talfryn has calmed down a lot and has made up mostly with his brothers. Growing up quickly, they are turning into sensible adults and only scuffle when it is a major disagreement.
Before attending the academy he was one of Triplets and eldest of 7 brothers, fighting with them all the time. Talfryn’s life was nothing but hectic, constantly bedraggled by responsibilities whether it be to keep them in check, help his father in the shop or his mother in the house. Despite being the eldest he is also the smallest by several inches, Leading to many a hour of mockery from his siblings and several bruises from scuffles.
After one too many serious fights with his brothers, his father decided to send him to the academy. Both to learn him some discipline and put use to his fighting skills. Talfryn hated this decision as he longed to take over the business and it was the one thing that made all his struggles worthwhile. Now, while he would still love to follow his father's footsteps and become a cobbler, he is aware he has been out of the craft for too long and has focused his skills to assist the academy knowing at the very least he can fall back on it once he retires far in the future.
