Age: 21
Occupation: A tutor for most subjects from mathematics to the piano; will sometimes take on odd jobs that don't demean his standing.
Family: William Hamish Kinnaird, Marquess of Oakberry, father, age 50; Rebecca, Marchioness of Oakberry, mother, age 44; Brendan Kinnaird, Earl of Whitewood, older brother, age 25; Lady Alice Kinniard, younger sister, age 7.
Appearance:
Tall, light haired and light skinned with eyes the color of oak leaves, Alexander (Or Alex, as he likes to be called by his family.) cuts a handsome figure in any crowd. His features are noble, with just a hint of foreign blood, which makes his face somewhat mesmerizing to look at. He dresses with taste and keeps up with the fashion, although never chasing after it blindly, and somehow manages to look both refined and warm. He is slender, but not in a way that defies his masculinity.
Personality:
+ A true gentleman.
Alex was born and raised in cultured home, and from a young age was taught to act accordingly to knightly codes of conduct. He will never insult or speak badly of anyone in polite company, and will resolve all his conflicts one on one, in privacy. To insult or in any way slight a lady is beyond his comprehension, and would be the only thing he would publicly demand satisfaction for. Dishonor of others, or disrespect of those lower than him in standing would be a stain of his own name, and is simply impermissible to Alex.
- Perhaps a bit too easygoing.
His reluctance to engage others in open confrontation can sometimes be a disadvantage, especially when his own interests are concerned. Someone with a tongue hung in the right place can convince Alex to partake in something... Shall we say shady, if they can persuade him that he is not actually committing a crime or slighting his moral code. For the same reason, he might be easily set up as guilty of a crime he did not commit.
+ A kindred spirit.
Alex can get along with nigh anyone - children, the elderly, peers, you name it! He is happy to talk about your interests and your troubles, and then help you out with a piece of advice or some physical help. It is for this reason he can earn for his living by tutoring children - he has a knack for making lessons interesting, and facts easier to remember.
- Self-critical to the point of self-hate.
Born a second son and always in the shadow of his elder brother, Alex has a severe inferiority complex. It doesn't show much, or, rather, he doesn't show it to others, but to Alex everything he does is second-rate at best. He can make himself re-do a lesson for the next day a thousand times at night, before he simply collapses from exhaustion, and will not forgive himself afterwards until his pupil smiles for the first time. As such he cares for the needs of others before himself, which, rather than raising warning flags, makes other think and speak better of him for his kindness, and that, in turn, just raises the bar which Alex sets for himself.
