Appearance
Appearance:
Olive-skinned with chest-length, caramel-colored hair pulled into a high ponytail. Very small, pointy horns like this fellow's, only chocolatey-brown in color (and exponentially smaller during his Apprentice stage! They won't get too much bigger until he's an expert, though). His scales can be colored like his hair or horns. Fantasy-ish, Japanese styled clothes for him would be awesome~ He should be young and adorably pitiful.
Changes:
He'll never be particularly tall or muscled. Throughout his life, he'll remain slender and petite. Once he chooses his clan, his caramel-colored hair will be streaked with blond, his horns will appear more lightning-like in shape, and will have a golden, lightning-like crackle going through them (the base color will still be brown). His eyes and scales will turn golden, as well.

Personality
Personality:
Passive:
Tohru is calm, quiet, and shy. He prefers not to be around people (including his family) at all, but when he is, he's more like a little shadow than an actual presence. He silently takes being yelled at, struck, or otherwise abused with only muttered promises of 'doing better next time.' He's weary of any other Magescians, Dragons and Drakeins, and pretty much anything else that's more than half his height. He'd rather bow and take it than fight for himself (or anyone else).
Cautious:
Tohru is fearful of any battles, arguments, or confrontations in general. The only things he really wants are peace and quiet and harmony. However, he knows he has no hope of attaining such a thing in this world, so better to just be vigilant and avoid what he can in any way he can. Since it seems that pretty much anything he says can rouse confrontation after his father's death, he's practically mute. Tends to look the other way if his mother or fiance goes off on some other helpless victim.
Obedient:
Pretty much goes hand-in-hand with his above traits. He doesn't like being yelled at or threatened so does his best with any commands given. Although, he's often told that he does things 'wrong' and is punished for it...
Subdued:
Tohru doesn't talk a whole lot... Over the years, he's grown fearful of expressing himself in any way. He was never permitted to go to school and socialize with others, so the only people he's ever really known is the family he grew up with. Because of their cruelty to him, he's decided it's simply for the best to go along with whatever they wish. Maybe he can appease them that way.
Affinities:
Likes:
xxxxxHair: Tohru loves to have his hair touched, brushed, braided and otherwise played with (as long as it isn't hurting him, of course). Likewise, he also enjoys playing with other people's hair. It is one of the few things he and Amara can actually do together. If he sees someone on the street with particularly long or unique hair, he may gather up the courage to actually ask that person if he can touch it!
xxxxxFlowquettes: They are simple, carefree and easygoing, even if they don't live very long. He collects them during the Month of Love and arranges them around inside and outside his home, in the hopes that they'll ease his family's temper. The little flowquettes seem to just annoy the hot-tempered Firanis, though...
xxxxxDarkness: Tohru actually feels safer in the dark than he does in the light. He's under the impression that no one will be able to see him in teh darkness, so they won't know he's there. And if they don't know he's there, then he certainly can't provoke them, so maybe they won't attack him...
Dislikes:
Tohru has grown past disliking things. Now he simply tolerates and endures just about everything in his life.
Fears:
xxxxxVesta: She didn't seem too terrible before his father left, but nowadays she brash, violent, and cruel. She attacks Tohru for every mistake or misstep he makes, sometimes even going to blows. Tohru is absolutely terrified every time he's in her presence, for fear that he'll breathe wrong and incite her anger on him. Because Amara has started copying her, Tohru's fears are beginning to stretch to most people in general... Especially those of the female sort.

Bio
Family and Relations:
Amara Batya:
Tohru's arranged fiance since he was five. She is seven years older than him. She looks up to Vesta as a role-model, and even chose the Firani clan solely because it was the clan Vesta chose. Her hopes are to be as fierce as the woman she looks up to, and she mimics Vesta's attitude toward Tohru.
Vesta Alecto:
Tohru's mother. She has the fiery temper of a Firani and the hormones of a woman to exemplify it. She is bold, brash, loud, and unrestrained with her husband dead. Since his passing, she may have lost it a bit and takes all of her frustrations out on her one remaining child. She is desperate for attention and affection, but she absolutely terrified Tohru.
Thane Soleiris:
Tohru's father and a Gaili Dovaa. He dearly loved both his sons and spent every moment he possibly could with them. Fearing that the war would damage his family, he set out to try and talk some sense into the warriors, but he was killed for his attempts.
Kasen Soleiris:
Tohru's older brother by nine years. He was Amara's original engagement, but he ran off before she turned of age. He chose the Gaili clan, like his father. He was spirited and cheerful as a child, and always looked out for Tohru's best interest. Before he left, he told his little brother, "I'll come back for you." But he hasn't been seen since...
Cadeo:
A Peisio Drakein that pities the young Dovaa boy. He spotted Tohru while the young Dovaa was out collecting flowers for his home. While he'd originally planned on attacking him, when Tohru only cowered and whimpered, Cadeo could only tut and shake his head at how pathetic the boy was. He managed to soothe Tohru by making water dance in time to the sounds the boy made. Later, Cadeo will encourage Tohru to sing to help him have more focus over his magic. Meeting him will be Tohru's Introduction Solo.
Background:
Vesta wasn't always a loud, harping witch. When she and Thane first met, she was a young, beautiful, excitable, and very passionate woman that was probably too eager to be out from under her parents' wings. The result was Kasen, soon accompanied by a hasty Dovaa marriage. While Vesta wasn't thrilled about the child, Thane could not have been more pleased. While his wife moped about being tied down and her unfulfilled life, he took up the at-home craft of gem enchanting, so that he could simultaneously care for his son.
For many years (nine, to be exact), Thane and Kasen grew closer while Vesta only looked on. Once Kasen was old enough to communicate, understand, and function on his own, Vesta finally took in interest in him. But by that time, her son held about as much interest in her as she'd had for him up until that point. Distressed by her firstborn's indifference to her, Vesta told Thane she wanted to try again. That she would do better by her next child. Thane was only too-pleased to hear it. And so, nine months later, a squirming bundle of Tohru was born into the world.
Leery of his mother's intentions, Kasen did his best to keep his infant baby brother away from her, whether that was taking him out to play or bringing him to the small store-front his father had set up to sell his wares. But there's only so much a preteen can do to keep mother from son. Vesta managed to spend a bit of time with Tohru, but it became clear very early that Tohru positively adored Kasen. Vesta wanted him gone.
A pair of elderly neighbors were caring for a girl that was just around Kasen's age. The two played together occasionally, and Thane knew them well enough. Vesta preyed upon the old couple's hopes to give the young girl a good, happy, stable life, even after they'd passed (which could possibly be in the very near future...), and pointed out how her eldest son seemed like a good match for her, when they were old enough, of course... And so, after some thoughts and discussions, the couple agreed to marry their granddaughter, Amara off to Kasen in time.
Kasen wasn't thrilled, but worse things could definitely happen, and since his father didn't seem horribly against it, Kasen decided to go along with it. Honestly, what could really change? It seemed the person most affected by the whole decision was Thane. His family was ever growing, while the war between the Oblivionites and Orderites was still waging... It was only a matter of time before one of his sons, or even his grandsons far off into the future were dragged into it! He simply couldn't sit by and rely on his hope to keep his family safe...
Thane went to Eowyn in hopes of talking some of the warriors from each race into maybe quelling their bloodlust... Magesc would be a much better place if it weren't a battleground. Of course, that was just like a Dovaa to simply expect peace when it hadn't been earned. He was killed down there on Eowyn, trying to make amends all by his lonesome.
Of course, news of his death never made it to his family. Instead they believed he'd simply run off, maybe been abducted, or captured by a dragon! Who could really say what had become of him? Kasen couldn't simply go on not knowing, though! He set out on his own in the dead of night to seek out answers, and hasn't returned since. Tohru was only five by this time. That so much of his family was disappearing so suddenly was very alarming to his young mind... Vesta on the other hand was insanely distressed. She was losing everything she'd known for so long, no matter how unhappy with it she'd been. She had only Tohru left... This young child with his wide and unknowing lavender eyes... She couldn't allow him to leave. In any way she could, she had to box him up so he'd be stuck with her forever.
She rearranged her deal with Amara's grandparents, so that she'd be betrothed to Tohru instead. They were going a bit senile, so it wasn't a particularly daunting task... Amara certainly wasn't pleased. This boy was so young and petite and nothing like Kasen at all! She'd probably be better off on her own than with him... Nonetheless, with her grandparent's health failing, she spent more and more time with Vesta and Tohru. She watched as Vesta cajoled and taunted the young boy throughout his years until he became quiet and distant. If his own mother could treat him like that, then certainly she could as well! Amara had never seen someone as bold and fiery and Vesta, and after a while, she came to respect the woman.
Once Amara's grandparents had passed, the family moved from the Celestial Plane to Ayr, with Vesta hoping it would further deter either of the children from leaving her. Together the two women managed to crush the young Dovaa's spirit before he had much of it at all. They berate him with their problems and tell him how useless and unworthy he is of just about everything. Tohru has absolutely no aspirations or hopes for the future, just that he will be a burden on whomever he is around.

Mentalities
Thoughts on the Great Engagement:
It is wrong. Orderites and Oblivionites are foolish to ravage the entire earth in a war. But maybe some good can come of it when the others accept how strong and pure the Dovaa are. Maybe then, they call all live peacefully...
Thoughts on the Dragons and Drakeins:
They're bigger than him, aren't they? So he's definitely afraid of them. But since the Dovaa were made from dragon's blood, maybe the beasts have some of the Dovaa's 'true goodness.' Tohru doesn't trust them, of course, but maybe in a time of need...
Thoughts on Oblivionites:
They perpetuate the very idea of confrontation with their war, so they definitely aren't good people. The do not posses the 'true goodness' of a Dovaa, so they can't be expected to make amends or to be trusted. They are inferior to Dovaa because of their hatred.
Thoughts on Orderites:
They perpetuate the very idea of confrontation with their war, so they definitely aren't good people. The do not posses the 'true goodness' of a Dovaa, so they can't be expected to make amends or to be trusted. They are inferior to Dovaa because of their hatred.
Thoughts on Dovaa:
There was once a time when Tohru's father called the Dovaa peacekeepers. That they were created so that the rest of the world would have someone to look to and idolize. That the Dovaa would bring the whole of Magesc to peace once more. Tohru believes this, and thinks that all Dovaa have kindness and goodness in their hearts, including his mother and fiance. His race is far superior to Orderites and Oblivionites, whose only purpose is to battle each other. But not the Dovaa. The Dovaa are peaceful, just as Tohru likes. Tohru, however, thinks that he is a defective Dovaa. That his only pupose is to cause stress and strain amongst his family. He alone is not above the other races.
Thoughts on Hybrids:
Hybrids have either Orderite or Oblivionite blood (or sometimes both!), so they do not have the true goodness of a Dovaa. But at very least, the parents of a hybrid have to have had some notion of coexistence, even for a short while, so maybe they are not as purely evil as a full-blooded Orderite or Oblivionite...

Stats
Battle Style:
Despite his frailty, Tohru's fiance and mother encouraged (demanded) that he take the path of a battler and learn to slay dragons and protect his family from the cruelty and violence of the other races. He would've preferred the path of a Ysali gardener, far off the trail of battle, but even casually mentioning this to his family would rile his mother's temper. It simply seemed safer to do as she wished... Together with Amara, the women decided he should choose the Kiandri clan. He didn't deserve the powers of the Firani, but he shouldn't be so useless as a Ysali or Ayrala... Despite his own wishes, Tohru agreed. Tohru himself is very hesitant and uncertain, which doesn't mesh well with his Kiandri magics. Since he is never confident about where he wants to apply a spark or how strong it should be, he tends to shock himself more frequently than his opponents. As an Adept and up, he sings to cast magic. It helps him center himself and direct his abilities.
