Name
William "Will" Shepherd
Age
Twenty
Gender
Male
Appearance
William is conventionally attractive in a simple way, with a reasonable 6"1 height and modestly toned muscles. His short, light brown hair is often slightly unkempt, and his moderately high cheekbones are never covered by more than a stubble. His eyes are hazel-green and typically appear sharp and focused, yet are capable of softening into an adoring gaze. His skin is lightly tanned from hours spent outside, yet he is still pale in complexion.
Never one to yearn for the spotlight, Will typically wears simple shirts paired with black jeans and a jacket.
Background
Will's mother was killed by his abusive father when he was twelve. Having to witness this was very traumatic for him as he was very close to his mother. She gave him the nickname "Will," and though it's simple, he is hesitant to allow anyone he doesn't truly adore call him by that name.
This experience forced him to take his younger sister, Adalyn, and leave home, taking care of her despite being a young boy. The pair ended up in the foster care system and were separated.
Personality
William lives his life attempting to be the opposite of his father, and because of that and his trust issues, he tends to approach things from a self-defensive perspective. He is slow to trust, but when he grows to truly love a person he would quite literally lay his life down for them.
While his past haunts him, William does not allow himself to be bitter because he does not want to become the rage-filled man his father was. Instead, he quietly copes with his pain and looks forward to the life he hopes to have.
