_______________✩___ Come here, come close! I have a story to be told!
Hm? My past? If I wished you to know such a thing I would have told you. Are you still following me? Perhaps I was not clear, leave. Now. Gah, I do not appreciate your prying into my life but if your going to be this persistent then I suppose I can tell you.
I come from a country far to the north where your season of Summer does not exist. It is a land with short Springs and Autumns and long, cold, thrilling Winters. It is a mountainous place with vast forest's that stretch over the horizon with the scent of pine always in the wind. Although we do have our share of trees that shed their leaves and sleep in the snowy months. The majority of the land is still wild, and there are few cities. Villages are connected to one another through trails and travel with most communication still being done by letter.
I grew up in a village deep in the mountains surrounded by the woods with my two brothers and Sierra, who came to learn sewing and clothing design from my mother when we were all still young. Our family was that of simple farmers though my mother, as I mentioned, was quite skilled at making clothes. So skilled in fact that even minor nobles would send their daughters to learn from her for a time. It was a hard but happy life, much of the world's technology did not extend out of the cities. Our house for instance had electric lighting but was still heated by a fire. During the brief warm seasons when we were not working or studying Sierra and I would explore the woods and fields together. It has been years since I had word from her or the rest of my family, though I was able to find out that my eldest brother now owns the family farm while the other is in the military. Sierra has become a pianist and clothing designer of some renown, though I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself.
One of the few ways to achieve a better standing in life when you grow up in a village like ours is to show enough academic fortitude to be sent to the University city of Dengrada. It's a place to learn the mage arts of elemental manipulation, something which has died out in the southern countries. It is important to understand that you cannot choose to not go, if you show the required skills you are sent. I was one who showed such skill. The day I left was the last time I saw my family. As the years went by and I progressed in my studies the Rebellion of the Twenty broke out. As the name implies twenty mages were able to obtain arcane knowledge of the element of Shadow that had been lost for thousands of years and in their lust for power threw the country into a whirlwind of flame and panic. I am one of those refugees as you have no doubt guessed. Now, I have answered your question in plenty of detail I hope, are you going to bother me with anything else?
_______________✩___ Er... Well, I'm not sure how you would describe my personality. I'll do my best though!
D'Rias is a calculating individual, always weighing the pros and cons of something in the back of his mind despite how he is acting. He is rather severe and tries not to get too involved with the rest of the villagers, though this is something he's finding harder to do as time goes on. Things he sees as pointless actions annoy him. Spending a large amount of wealth on a grand mansion is perfectly fine to him, so long as every room is used in some way, even if it is storage, organized storage. Collecting this or that merely because you find them interesting is another matter however. Despite these shortcomings D'Rias has maintained a sense of strong familial loyalty even if he will not admit it. Those who earn his trust will always have someone to turn to regardless of their situation.

_______________✩___ Place me next to a ruler, and it will say I'm 5'10”

_______________✩___ You want to get on my good side? Easy! Give me these! Fresh baked bread, Ancient tomes, play an instrument
_______________✩___ But blegh; I'd rather not receive any of these... Sweets, jewelry, spicy food
_______________✩___ Shh, shh! Don't tell anyone! I'm truly afraid of Being weak, being burned, (to be revealed later)
_______________✩___ When you get to know someone, you should know their favorite color, right? Mine just so happens to be Dark Blue
