I like his name :} And his looks are cute. I don't see anything wrong with his looks or his clothes. As for accessories: he wouldn't be able to have his mother's bow in his prentice art. He could have it IC and use it for training, that's fine, but art doesn't include weapons until stage 2+
Thank you ^.^ I liked the name myself and the looks just seemed to fit for him. *nods about the bow* that’s fine with me. I know he has it and that’s what matters *is a dork don’t mind me*

The basics seem solid, but there isn't that much detail yet.
>//< I’m much more used to developing characters through RP so this is really no surprise.

How far does his determination go? What is his breaking point?
Determination – When he makes up his mind on a matter it’s very hard to change it for example if he was told that he could no longer be an archer he would spend every waking moment he had trying to improve himself and make himself able to follow in his mother’s footsteps. If he lost a limb or something so detrimental he could longer be an archer he would break and simply shut down likely doing something stupid to try and put himself out of his misery. If he found a person who he thought he might be able to fall in love with he would very likely follow them across all the nations in the hopes of winning their heart. Persistence to him is a virtue not a sin. If that other person found someone else they loved he would give up, but he would not just leave their life. He would still be their friend and try to help them if he could. This is both a good and bad thing because it can make him quite annoying/bullheaded/foolish at times, but it also means if he wants to help someone there are few forces short of death and crippling that will stop him.

Is he only mindful of women, or just more so? How does he treat men? Is he still concerned, or flippant?
Mindful- He was raised to treat women with respect, but he is mindful of the old, young, sick, hurt and meek as well. He will take the time to listen to help him make up his mind on matters. Once he does its set in stone, but it takes a bit to get there. He loves to listen to stories other have to tell him and so generally if they are a story teller gender doesn’t matter. He does tend to be a bit less lenient toward men who conduct themselves as warriors though, or those who are fit and bold enough to be but just waste time doing nothing. Dealing with such individuals he is more dismissive and can be flat out rude if they rub him the wrong way.

How does he handle skeptical situations? Does he still go through with whatever it is, or would he stop completely or something else?
Skeptical- Much of the time he looks at things with a grain of salt. If someone came up and offered him a free pet he would wonder if this pet bites, urinates on everything, or has some contagion and will die in the next few days. Meeting a strong willed woman tends to make him a bit skeptical as well, because he mother was strong yet he knew for a fact that she loved to be pampered so if said strong willed woman yelled at him for taking care of her he would shake his head, say he’s sorry, then keep right on pampering her. He will be mindful of her wishes and try to be a bit less showy about pampering her and try to be polite no matter how much she yells but in his head he’s just nodding sure, sure whatever. <- please note this is not voiced but he might roll his eyes. Also the stories he loves to hear so much can also elicit the same reaction. He will roll his eyes and grin enjoying the story but part of his brain will be going ‘yeah right buddy tell me another.’

All in all I kind of want him to be a fun character who can adapt to who he meets a bit and maybe rile a few feathers for some meek characters that do have a strong will of their own but don’t often show it too much. For example BarAmal traveling with Mella would likely result in her actually yelling at him if he messed with her supplies trying to organize them or help her carry them. To him would be just be helping a meek girl out, but to her he would be overstepping his bounds and messing with her most cherished things *art supplies*. He would shrug and say he’s sorry, letting her carry her things, but he’d be extra vigilant on her steps to see signs of weariness or a misstep then he’d likely try to carry her and her things. You can guess how well that would go over. Then he would offer to let her walk and just carry her supplies. Back to step one on this time Mella wouldn’t yell because it’s either he carries her things, or he carries her and her things.
If no misstep or weariness was seen he would keep a general eye out in the next few days but let her carry her own things with not a word out of his mouth.
His determination over rules his mindfulness if he feels someone really needs help.
umm... I hope this helps clarify a few things. Thank you asking me questions and helping kick my brain into gear.
