Name: Bambi Degrazzi
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 6’0”
Race: Caerdiccian
Home: Caerdiccia Unitas
Appearance: Bambi is a young man who some could consider attractive, but not in the dashingly beautiful way or dark handsome way, no, he’s considered attractive in the way that some consider a piglet to be attractive. It’s cute and odd, but not exactly something that one would want to marry. He has a mop of brown, unkempt and curly hair and his face is spotted in freckles. He is tall without a hint of fat on him, but along with that, barely any hint of muscle. He is lanky and awkwardly tall in a way that he is many times, tripping and clumsy. About the only endearing factor about his appearance are his eyes, a nice shade of green that always hints at his emotions, not that his eyes are needed, his face and body language always speaks for itself.
History: Bambi is the eighth child out of fourteen of a Caerdiccian cheese maker. He has always lived a sheltered life and has grown up knowing what it is like to need to compete for everything he wants. He is not used to extravagance because of his upbringing and knows the value of hard work. He is very down to earth and because of all the work that is needed around the cheese making shop and the small dairy farm that they have, he has always grown up sheltered from the outside world, especially since his mother did most of his schooling for him and the rest of his siblings. At the age of twenty-three he decided that it was time for him to go out into the world and make his fortune, so he left his home and went to the City of Elua.
There, he works all manners of odd jobs wherever people will hire him, from coach drivers to washing dishes and running errands. He tends to move from place to place and to say the least, the sheltered life he lived back home left him to have a bit of culture shock when he went to the City of Elua. Having grown up mostly only in contact with his family and customers from behind a counter, the concept of ‘love as thou wilt’ is about as alien to him as the Skaldi. He has never held a girl’s hand before, let alone seen one naked. His humble upbringings have left him to suffer in the City of Elua, awkward and completely embarrassed by almost everything. He tends to stammer and stumble over his words almost all the time and ‘awkward’ is about the definition of his very existence. He tends to be a bit of a dreamer and romantic, but one who tends to overshoot and dream a little bit... too much.
He is a country boy who many cannot take seriously. Because of his clumsiness and inability to talk clearly (coupled with the fact that he already cannot talk without stammering to a woman with the fact that d’angeline is not his first language) he has been through more jobs than one can count. He, however, is not discouraged and he is one who can always pick himself back up, no matter how embarrassing the situation. His greatest aspiration in life is to take over his father’s cheese making business and to one day attach a vineyard so that his family can have both cheese and wine in their shop.
