Choose a character of yours to represent each of the four seasons

So, I found this prompt the other week and have been having far too much fun with it. (read: immediately began classifying all my characters by season, before coming to the conclusion that I was procrastinating on writing.) That said,

Winter: Dan Mandel, 24.
     He's a distrustful hit man/body guard who has been on this writing journey about as long as I have. Blond hair, green eyes, roughly six feet tall, he tends to be of Anglo-German decent and if I don't watch him carefully will randomly pick up and adopt troubled children.

Spring: Sirael, 16.
     This one is a young man who has been blind since age four. At sixteen he is technically 'captured by the enemy' and taken to another country by a party of raiders. However, once there he is healed of his blindness and discovers a talent for healing magics himself. He is also one of my more hopeful character personalities.

Summer: Tsora Silvena 14.
     Usually cheerful to the point of annoying the less sunny personalities around him, Tsora has a rather difficult home life and back story. His father is often busy with political matters, and many of his peers are afraid of his potential power and erroneously believe that he caused the death of his own mother in an outburst of uncontrolled magic. There is also a certain quality of naivete surrounding his character, as he both takes things at face value and tends to get into situations without thinking them through completely first.

Fall: Drakaeo Llewellyn, 16.
     Drake is a reserved and responsible personality. He does seem to collect people, but he's more of a "protector" than a "caretaker." He'll do what he needs to, is open to mentoring younger characters, but he loves to have time to himself to fly or read; whatever suits his fancy that particular day. He has a particular love of staying up late when the moon is bright and sitting on the roofs of towers and in the upper branches of trees.


There, I have actually managed to choose only one character for each season- none of which share a story with one another. ;) It's an interesting exercise, best done with characters you know well.
