~HENRY TUDOR: A SOCIOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION.~

Today, I'll be discussing a character who left his mark in History, fathering a dynasty whose most proeminent members were his (second) son Henry VIII and his granddaughter Elizabeth I. Often overshadowed by his descendants, Henry's own deeds as a king and as an individual of his own days have been neglected until recently, when efforts from British historians have been working hard to change that.

The reason why I decided to bring him here was not only due to personal affections, though they certainly helped it, but because there are aspects overlapped in social structures that shaped him. In other words: what's Henry Tudor as a sociological individual? Can we point him out as a constant foreigner or someone whose socialization process were strongly marked by the addition of two different societies?

Henry Tudor was born in Pembroke, located in Wales, in January 28th 1457. His mother was Margaret Beaufort, a proeminent lady whose grandfather John Beaufort was the son of John of Gaunt, son in turn of King Edward III of England. The duke of Lancaster fathered four ilegitimated children (who were legitimated in posterity) by his (third marriage to his then) lover Katheryn Swynford, amongst whom John Beaufort was the oldest. Therefore, Henry was 3x grandson. to the duke and, despite what some might argue when Henry IV became king, in great deal to inherite the throne. Well, it's not my intention to deepen the discussion as to Henry's legitimacy or the Beauforts.

Though his father's ancestry, Henry's blood led him to the royal house of Valois. His paternal grandmother, Katherine de Valois, was the sister of Isabella, who had been the second wife of the ill-fated king Richard II. She was also descended of Louis IX and his spanish wife, Blanche de Castille. Henry was also a royal man from the Welsh lands, as Owain Tudor, his grandfather, was related to several princes of Wales. By all these I said, the first thing one might think (considering 15th century and it’s nobility) Henry would receive a proper education due to his status. However, this would not happen in the strict sense of the word. Let us not forget that England was collapsing by the time of Henry Tudor's birth and his childhood. Why am I using the word 'collapse' to qualify the civil war we know named as wars of the roses?

Émile Durkheim, a french sociologist, would write several centuries later, about how a society is formed: he compared it to the working of a human body. If the head, the brain of our body does not work well, what happens? The body will not work well, certainly. Neither would the head work well if other parts hurt somehow. Although if you did break a leg, you could still make use of your brain, but as a whole how limited wouldn't you be? He'd also say that when the human body, or as he called, the society was sick, it was because of the social structures which imposed the human being to the point where there would be no individuality, no matter of choice.

Such created social facts that were completely external (althoug well internalized through means of a process we call socialization) but coercitive. If they are not working, what does this mean? That soon another social facts will be replacing the former one. But between one and another, we have a "very sickly" society. Taking this understanding back to England's 15th century, it is not difficult to see what Durkheim was talking about.

The king was the head of the English body. If we have here two kings fighting over one crown, fighting over the rule of an entire body... Well, then? We have the collapse, a civil war that lasted for the next 30 years. Here, it's less about discussing who started what but why they did what they did, and the explanation for it. Power is power. It's crystal clear, and a statement that, however simple might it sound, points to the obvious. Factions that fought for power intended to dominate others, using the concept very well developed by sociologists as Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias. This domination is a large field, a concept that embrace all sorts of it. Looking back to England's latter half of the century, domination was peril. The head was about to explode. The society was ill... and dominated by it.

What were the values? What was the racionalization proccess of social action led by individuals that were not only individuals but a group? How would all of this affect Henry Tudor? It was not about merely blaming the capitalism, because such coercitive system wasn't present yet. But Henry was, directly or not, linked to the royal house of Plantagenets, whose eagerness for dominating one another and by extension the rest of the country would include him in the game.

"Game." For Durkheim, this would imply an agitation, like a wave of sea, from which no one could escape from. Let's not forget that Institutions created ideas, renewed them, shaped them to the practice whether to dominate the weaker or to defeat the stronger. Whatever the purpose, we here have the Church, not the religiosity, but the precursor of ideas would subdue individuals to share (or manipulate to their own goals anyways) values in order to keep determined mentality to it. But also, monarchy was too an institution which held control over the lives and deaths of thousands of people. A monarch, as we know, is never alone regardless of how "absolut" they could be in different times and contexts. They were not above the law, either. At least where the socialization process is concerned. For the monarch embodied the content which was the law back then. He was literally the law.

Furthermore, Henry's education would foresee this fighting, which I'm not merely referring to custody going from his mother to another, before finally staying under his uncle's responsibilities, as well as the civil war itself. (Anyone remembers Warwick executing Herbert before the boy?)

See, we all know and comprehend today what trauma are capable of doing to someone. Such experience is the main responsible for shaping ideas, values and even costumes. Now, a society which is very much sick by it's own values and moral costumes (a point here must be made: the public consciousness always preached for a warrior, strong king, but has no one thought how this "common sense", validated by a general expectation towards the head of society, was what led it to... well, for the lack of better word, suicide itself?

For it's widely accepted that weak kings do not last long. But that is when we deal with a good deal of expectations that, when turned to frustrations, bring awful results. If England's society was ill in it's very extreme sense of the word, was because the values they created turned against themselves and that would leave it's mark in a boy as Henry. And until the age of 14, he was still absorbing these concepts, these morals, values, costumes from institutions (let's not forget that a monarch shares such with the nobility that surrounds him, as was the case of House Lancaster,f.e) before he was casted out to Bretagne and, in posteriority, to France. Now, I believe you all know what was done whether in England or with our king during these 14 years spent outside his own country before he became king upon the victory settled on the battle of Bosworth field.

I am not interested in discussing historical facts. At least not now, as we are finally dealing with Henry Tudor as a social actor

----/-HENRY TUDOR: A FOREIGNER? AN EXILED? OR AN OUTCAST?--

These questions mobilized me as I came to read a text written by 19th century sociologist named Georg Simmel. He wrote an essay (pardon by any mistakes in translations done from here on) entitled "The Foreigner", in which he brings a sociological question at why foreigners are seen as strangers who are never entirely immersed in the society they attempt to be part in.

Here's an excerpt translated by me in which he explains it:

"Fixed within a determined social space, where it's constancy cross-border could be considered similar to the space, their position [the foreigner's] in it is largely determined by the fact of not belonging entirely to it, and their qualities cannot originate from it or come from it, nor even going in it." (SIMMEL, 2005: 1.)

Furthermore, he adds:

“The foreigner, however, is also an element of the group, no more different than the others and, at the same time, distincted from what we consider as the 'internal enemy'. They are an element in whose position imanent and of member comprehend, at the same time, one outsider and the other insider." (SIMMEL, 2005: 1).

Here's why Henry, as Earl of Richmond, was not well seen by the Britons and the French, in spite of being "accepted" by them. Never forget that he would still be seen as an outsider by his own fellows. As Richard III would call Henry a bastard, one could understand this accusation with sociological implications. English back then detested these foreigners and by the concept brought here by me from Simmel we can understand why. But we could also see being called a bastard as a way to point out Henry's localization. Where can the Earl of Richmond & soon-to-be king be located?

I have pointed this far the structures which were raised and caused a collapsed society to live broken in many, many ways and how this affected Henry this far. Seeing how foreigner he was, nonetheless, he did not belong neither to England (at first) nor to the Continent.

On that sense of word, says Simmel (2005: 3):

"A foreigner is seen and felt, then, from one side, as someone absolutely mobiled, a wanderer. As a subject who comes up every now and then through specific contacts and yet, singularly, does not find vinculated organically to anything or anyone, nominally, in regards to the established family, locals and profissionals”

Even though we find a dominant group of foreigners in France, as we are talking about of nobles displeased with the Yorkist cause and supporters of the Lancastrian House, they were not majority. Where can we locate Henry, then? We don't, because he was not a French and however well he could speak the language, it was not his birth language. The French culture was not passed nor naturalized by him through the teachings of a family or the church by the institutions: monarchy, church, family, parliament, etc; he would have been defeated a long time. But that he did manage to, using this popular expression, put things together and become the first king to die peacefully since Henry V, it tells us a lot. Not rarely an immigrant is accepted by a society whose demands are forced upon him, most of the times in aggressive ways. But it's not often either that we see a king occupying such place in society.

Indeed, one might say that kings as Henry II and the conquerors before him were too foreigners, but not in the sociological way I'm explaining. Because the social structures were different. Henry's government were settled in a more centralized ruling, far more just and peaceful, more economic and less concerned with waging wars than his antecessors. The need to migrate was not 'forced', neither 'imposed' and even back to the 11th and 12th centuries were motivated by different reasons. That's to accentuate how English society evolved throughout the centuries. And I used again and again Georg Simmel to prove my point about casting a sociological light towards Henry VII not as a historical character so distant of us and who remains an object of controversial discussions, but a man of his times who was forced to deal with expectations that placed him in social positions nearly opposed to one another to fulfill each role whether as king or as a man. For some reason, the broken society shaped Henry as an immigrant, but as history shows us, it was this immigrant who helped shape medieval society, directing it towards the age of Renaissance and in posteriority to Modern Age.

Finally, to close this thread I leave here another quote (translated to English by me) found in the text written by Simmel:

"The foreigner, strange to the group [he is in], is considered and seen as a non-belonging being, even if this individual is an organic member of the group whose uniform life comprehends every particular conditioning of this social [mean]. (...) [the foreigner] earns in certain groups of masses a proximity and distance that distinguishes quantities in each relationship, even in smaller portions. Where each marked relationship nduced to a mutual tension in specific relationships, strenghtening more formal relations out of respect to what's considered 'foreigner' of which are resulted." (SIMMEL, p 7).

So I was wondering how would team DMNO react to the fall of Beacon? They aren’t from Beacon so I’m wondering how they feel about it

I haven’t talked about this much, but technically Team DMNO were at the Fall of Beacon when it took place. Since they went to Atlas Academy, they competed in the Vytal Festival Tournament.

To be honest, I’ve been planning a sort of story for the main OC of DMNO Olwen {will I ever write it, who knows}, so I’ve been thinking about stuff like this for a while now.

Anyways without spoiling too much, technically speaking Douglas, Melanie & Olwen all suffer from serious injuries during the Fall. Norbert only suffers from minor injuries, but nearly losing three people that meant so much to them all in one night was quite traumatizing.

All of them were affected by The Fall in some way and I will go into more detail about it sometime soon. I hope that this answered your question friend!

#rwby #rwby oc #rwby ocs #team dmno #douglas craig #melanie hertz #norbert beaufort #olwen kunik #asks #scylla-the-frog-queen #thanks for the ask!#it was horrible night for the whole team all things considered #and I will talk more about it in the near future!#also I do want to write maybe short one shots about my oc olwen #but I'm a bit nervous about my writing

Time to Talk About my RWBY OC Team.

So I’ve been developing a RWBY OC team for a while now and I think that I’m finally ready to share what I have for them so far! I’ll start with a brief synopsis on the team in question.

- Their team name is DMNO {pronounced Domino}. This name fits with the colour rule because the two colours that first come to my mind immediately are black and white {I know that they can be other colours, but I mostly see them with a black and white colour scheme}. Everyone on the team has a name that either means black, white, dark or light to match with the theme of the team name.

- They’re a 2nd year team at Atlas Academy.

- The team consists of Douglas Craig {who’s the team leader}, Melanie Hertz, Norbert Beaufort & Olwen Kunik.

Now I’ll talk about each member of team DMNO briefly. This will be a bit long so there’ll be more under the cut!

Craig; Derived from Gaelic creag meaning "crag, rocks", originally belonging to a person who lived near a crag.

The blade itself is obsidian black and the emitted beam along the blade glows neon blue. The shotgun is charcoal grey and navy blue.

For both weapon modes, dust is inserted into the grip. He mostly uses water dust, but sometimes he’ll also use ice dust, wind dust and he’ll even combine water and fire dust to make steam dust.

Semblance: Navy Mist.

The user disappears and evaporates as a misty vapor and can reappear a few seconds later either in the same spot or a new spot a few feet away. However, if used too much in short bursts, the user will become dizzy with a splitting headache for a few minutes. The user also cannot teleport large distances, they can only teleport a few feet away from their original spot.

Previous Affiliation: Sanctum Academy.

Partner: Norbert Beaufort.

Personality:

Positive Qualities: Is know for being incredibly ambitious {in terms of his short and long-term goals}, known for being dependable and reliable, mellow {very go-with-the-flow…most of the time}, is creative and imaginative, is know for being a day dreamer {known for being a man with his head in the clouds}, can be very protective of those close to him, energetic, out-going and all around friendly person, very talkative, always ready to go on adventures, athletic.

Negative Qualities: Can be somewhat lazy, isn’t really book smart, if someone hurts him in any way {ex: breaking his trust or try to cause harm to those he cares about}, there’s a good chance that he’ll become resentful towards you and probably will not forgive you ever {with a few exceptions}, he’s prone to chew with his mouth open sometimes {it drives Norbert nuts}, sometimes his day dreamer attitude can cause him to space out sometimes, can interrupt people {most of the time he doesn’t mean to}, can be kind of messy.

Immediate Family:

Meredith Craig {Mother. They used to get into quite a few arguments when he was growing up. She was always harder on him than his younger brother because he was the oldest and she expected more out of him. They have worked through these issues and the two have grown closer}.

Nagisa Watanabe {Biological Mother. Always got along better with her growing up because she was always much gentler with him}.

Hurley Lynch {Biological & Surrogate Father. His mothers have always wanted Hurley to be a part of Douglas’ life so the two have a close relationship. Hurley unfortunately passes away when Douglas was 12 years old. Hurley fell prey to a Sea Feilong Grimm while out at sea, along with his five other crew members. Douglas misses his Dad a lot}.

Kaito Watanabe {Biological Younger Brother, who’s 6 years younger than him. He teases his younger brother quite a bit, calling him things like, “twerp”, and, “squirt’. However, he still loves his little brother a lot. He was a bit angry with him when they were younger, due to their mother Meredith being less strict with Kaito. They have worked things out and their bond is now unbreakable}.

5 Bits of Trivia:

Douglas was born in Vacuo and lived there for the first six years of his life. His family eventually moved to the island of Patch when he was seven years old. Douglas loves to travel and his dream honeymoon would be taking a month long trip exploring all four kingdoms and Menagerie.

Douglas’ emblem and weapon are based around his love of swordfish. His father loved taking him to the aquarium in Vacuo whenever he came to visit. Seeing the swordfish was always his favourite thing to do there. He has such fond memories attached to that animal that he decided to base his emblem and his weapon off of it.

His favourite foods are seafood {especially lobster. crab & clams}, a good surf n’ turf dinner {with his steak cooked medium rare} and grapes. His least favourite food is cauliflower {he hates the taste and he’s also allergic to it}.

People often doubt Douglas’ ability as a leader, due to the fact that he isn’t very book smart. However, he makes up for it in the way he finds out-of-the-box solutions to problems because of his vast creativity and imagination. He may be chill most of the time, but when the time calls for it he’ll step up and approach the situation a little bit more seriously.

His favourite music genres are blue grass and alternative rock.

The soles of the boots also act as branding irons and they do have spurs. The boots are mainly mahogany brown and blood orange in colour. The soles and the spurs are both bronze in colour.

When paired with fire dust, her feet become searing hot. The boots are made from a fire-resistant leather. Spinning at high speeds for a few seconds allows both boots to ignite, adding extreme heat to the impact of her kicks.

Dust is inserted vertically into the heels of the boots. She mainly uses fire dust. However, she also starts using a combination of fire and earth dust called, “Magma Dust”, later on. She can also insert air dust into her boots, allowing her to kick the air in order to jump higher and giving her the appearance of flight.

Semblance: Engine Legs.

The user develops a pair of engine-like protrusions made of aura manifesting around their calves; allowing the user to run faster and grants them extra kicking power. However, she can only use it in short bursts. Otherwise it will cause her legs to lock up and become perfectly still for 1-2 minutes. Gear 1 is the standard, but she has access to Gears 2 and 3 which increase her speed and kicking power. She can manage getting to Gear 2, but currently she can’t access Gear 3 otherwise her legs will lock up for almost a whole day.

Negative Qualities: Not the most patient person in the world {doesn’t like waiting for long periods of time. She becomes a lot more patient when she gets older}, a bit of a hot-head {a bit impulsive, a bit reckless, very stubborn, these attributes calm down a bit when she’s older}, she’s also brash {in a more noisy and overbearing way}, can be a bit cocky, can be blunt about certain things.

Immediate Family:

Ignatius Hertz {Biological Father. Despite him looking gruff and intimidating, she knows that her Father is a gentle soul and she loves him dearly. But he is known for being a bit overprotective. After losing his wife, he was afraid of losing his two children as well. He does eventually come around to the idea of his children becoming Huntsmen/Huntresses,he just wants the both of them to be careful. However, if anything were to happen to her he’d bring her back home in an instant.

Melaina Hertz {Before marriage, her last name was Bureau. Biological Mother. She passed away when Melanie was around 3 years old. Melaina was a huntress and was killed in an on the job incident. She doesn’t have a lot of memories with her Mother, but Melanie still loves her and believes that she is watching over her from above}.

Phlegon Hertz {Biological Older Brother, who’s 8 years older than her. He’s more on the quiet side compared to his sister, but Melanie still loves him to bits. She truly does appreciate her Brother quite a bit, since losing their mom brought them closer together. They had to rely on each other a lot more. Ever since her Brother moved out of the house, she calls him often to see how he’s doing.

Her Voice Would Be: Cassandra Lee Morris.

5 Bits of Trivia:

Melanie was born and raised in the agricultural district located in Vale. Her family runs a ranch that primarily focuses on raising sheep and alpacas for wool, as well as goats for milk. She attends Mount Alsius Academy & Atlas Academy in honor of her Father who was at one point in the Atlesian military, but has since retired.

The ranch also has a few horses. Melanie enjoys horseback riding in her spare time. Her favourite horse is named Autumn, who’s 7 years old and has known her ever since she was 11 years old.

Her favourite foods is anything breakfast related such as: hash browns, bacon, ham and cheese omelettes and whole wheat toast with peanut butter. She also loves anything really spicy. Apples are her favourite fruit, but she hates Granny Smith apples because they taste too bitter.

Sometimes she has a bit of trouble calming down if she gets upset, so she knits in order to help her unwind a bit. She learned to do so from her Father, as he used it as a coping strategy when he was in the military.

Her favourite musical genres are hip-hop and country {more so old country because she doesn’t like new country all that much}.

When transforming into the crossbow mode, the scope, sight bridge and the bolt pop up out of the shaft; while the strings attach to the pick and the adze. Transforming into the pistols requires the axe to split into two, with the pick and adze going underneath the barrel and the trigger and grip popping out near the end of the shaft. The pick and adze are metallic grey, while everything else is silver and black in colour.

The arrows are made of dust and the dust is inserted into the spike of the axe. They uses dust of many kinds.

Semblance: Flash Banger.

The user creates a small stun grenade made of aura in the palm of their hand, which they can then launch at the opposition. So far it can only affect three targets at a time and those that the they consider to be their enemy or opponent. The effects include making the opponent {whether human or Grimm} feel disoriented and stunned for a couple of seconds. In terms of the Grimm, it also seems to cause searing pain {almost like their body is sizzling}.

Current Affiliation: Atlas Academy.

Previous Affiliation: Mount Alsius Academy.

Partner: Douglas Craig.

Personality:

Positive Qualities: Intelligent, is know for being very hardworking/diligent, always tries to be kind to most people that they meet, helpful, organized, incredibly modest, disciplined {due to growing up in a military family}, a very gentle person.

Negative Qualities: Anxious, self pitying, has a fear of failure, a bit of a perfectionist, can be indecisive, a bit fussy, tends to worry a lot {especially about those that he cares about getting hurt}, a bit of an escapist, has a hard time accepting reality {whenever something bad happens, he just sort of shuts down mentally}.

Immediate Family:

Herbert Berger {Biological Father. Norbert has never gotten along with their Father. He was unfairly cruel towards them because they saw Norbert as a weakling and in his own words, “I don’t tolerate weakness in this family...” It’s because of their Father that Norbert became so anxious. They remember their father screaming at them until he was blue in the face because something wasn’t done 100% perfect. This basically also helped develop Norbert’s fear of failure and them constantly striving for perfection. Norbert is afraid of their Father and absolutely hates him}.

Ambre Beaufort {Biological Mother. Norbert currently has a complicated relationship with their Mother. On one hand, she meant well in the beginning. She would stand up for them whenever her husband had crossed a line. When she divorced their Father, she did want to take Norbert and one of their older brothers named Albert with her. Unfortunately she’s always been a workaholic and nowadays she spends more time working than spending time with her own children. Norbert still slightly resents her, but just wishes that she could spend more time with them. The only problem is that they’re too scared to say anything.

Bertrand Berger {Biological Older Brother, who’s 9 years older than them. Norbert isn’t very fond of them. Their Father always treated him the best because he was the, “Perfect Child”, and would allow him to invade Norbert’s personal space, destroy/steal their things and even physically hurt them. Norbert wants nothing to do with him}.

Albert Beaufort {Biological Older Brother, who’s 6 years older than him. Albert always looked out for them because of the way that their Father treated them. The two of them are incredibly close and Norbert looks up to him quite a bit. He is one of the only few family members {along with their Paternal Grandparents} that Norbert feels like they actually care about and love them. They were a bit lonely once Albert headed off to Atlas Academy and eventually the Atlesian military, but the two of them try to keep in contact with each other often}.

Relatives:

Egbert Berger {Paternal Grandfather, deceased}.

Bertha Berger {Paternal Grandmother}.

Primary Attire {Vol. 1-3}:

Beanie {Black, symbol located on the brim}.

Puffy Vest {Black, with a dark grey hood}.

Turtle Neck Sweater {Grey}.

Plain T-Shirt {White, with short sleeves}.

Combat Gloves {Black}.

Utility Belt {Black, with a silver belt buckle}.

Cargo Pants {Arctic Camo, with the pant legs tucked into their boots}.

Combat Boots {Black/they’re open-toed, so that his mountain lion feet have more room}.

Facial Hair/Tattoos/Piercings/Scars/Misc:

Medium length side burns.

Doesn’t have any tattoos and is currently unsure of what they want.

Doesn’t want any sort of piercings and doesn’t ever want to have any.

Their Voice Would Be: Justin Briner {Current} & Lara Woodhull {Youth}.

5 Bits of Trivia:

Norbert was born and raised in the upper class district in Atlas. They grew up in a military family with their Paternal Grandparents, Father and both of their older brothers being involved in the Atlesian military somehow. Norbert wants to enlist eventually, but want to be more involved in the scientific department and maybe the special operatives unit. They were inspired to do so because of their Older Brother Albert and Paternal Grandparents and not because of their Father or their Older Brother Bertrand.

They’ve always been interested in scientific subjects ever since they were little. Their favourite subjects were always chemistry and biology. They’ve also loved robotics and has always loved tinkering with machines in their spare time.

Their favourite food is roast beef sandwiches. They really love Earl Grey, Chamomile & Sleepy Time Tea as well. They really dislike peanut butter {since they are allergic to peanuts} and they hate tomatoes because of how they taste.

They love doing word puzzles, crosswords, word searches and solving their Rubik's cube in their spare time.

Their favourite music genre is classical.

Only a few people such as her teammates know this about her.}, can overthink about things sometimes, has suffered from anger issues in the past {she has it under control for the most part now. It will now take quite a bit to get her to become aggressive with you}, if in a bad mood she can be a bit on the cranky side.

Immediate Family:

Olwen doesn’t know much about her biological parents {doesn’t find out who they are until around Vol.4 timeline wise}. Since her adoptive Mother wouldn’t say much about them, she just grew up assuming that her parents abandoned her. A part of her holds onto the belief that maybe they had a good reason for leaving her.

Aklaq Kunik {Adoptive Mother. In Olwen’s eyes, she couldn’t have asked for a better mother than Aklaq. She remembers Aklaq referring to her as her, “Miracle Baby”, as she came into her life when she needed her the most. They may not have had a lot of money, but Aklaq always made sure that Olwen was taken care of. Aklaq also made sure to teach her basic survival skills (hunting, fishing, cooking, creating shelter, etc...). Sadly she passed away when Olwen was around 10 years old {not revealing how yet because it would spoilers for something that I might want to write in the future}. Olwen blames herself for what happened and was on her own from that day on. She cut ties with Aklaq’s family (namely her Aunt Neva) because in her mind now that Aklaq is gone, she figures that she’s no longer apart of the family. Where she’s at now if you ask her about her past, Olwen will refer to Aklaq as a, “great mother-like figure”}.

Savannah Pretorius {Guardian. From when Olwen was 12 years old up to when she was about 17 years old, Savannah acted as Olwen’s guardian {not going to reveal much here again due to spoilers for something that I might write later on}.

Relatives:

Neva Kunik {Adoptive Aunt, Older Sister of Aklaq/hasn’t seen her since she was around 8 or 9 years old}.

Nanouk Haggard {Grandfather Figure/He was Aklaq’s favourite teacher when she attended Haven Academy and would come to visit her and Olwen often. He becomes the Grandfather that Olwen never had and she even starts to call him, “Gramps”.}

Primary Attire {Vol. 1-3}:

Leather Jacket {Navy Blue/unzipped/sleeves cut off at the forearms/cut short at the waist to show off her midriff/the interior lining is black/symbol is located on the upper back}.

Tank Top {Black}.

Bandanna {Black/tied around her left bicep, sometimes wears it around her head when fights get serious}.

5 Bits of Trivia:

Where Olwen was born is currently unknown, but she has primarily lived in Mistral for almost her entire life. Up until she was 10 years old, she’s lived in a small village up around the mountain/forest area of Mistral. From when she was 10-12 years old, she primarily roughed it out on the streets in the city of Mistral. It wasn’t until Savannah took her in that she had a proper living situation,again.

Olwen absolutely loves to cook and it’s something that she’s really passionate about. Aklaq taught her basic cooking skills when she was around 7 years old, but she didn’t get the chance to hone and improve her skills until she was 12 years old and living with Savannah. A dream of hers is to one day open up her own restaurant in Mistral {she doesn’t share this dream with most people, except with her teammates because she’s worried about stranger’s reactions}.

You could say that her favourite food is {almost} everything, but she really loves meat and fish. Her absolute favourites are salmon and baby back pork ribs. She doesn’t really like avocados all that much, but she especially hates everything about tofu {it’s taste, texture, the consistency, etc...}.

Fishing is one of her favourite things to do, whether she uses a fishing pole or not. This also taught her the importance of having patience, so she’s known for being one of the most patient members of her team.

Her favourite music genres are punk rock and heavy metal. Her favourite punk rock group is called, “Absolute Zero”, and she’s had a huge crush on the group’s lead singer Noelle Blanc ever since she was 14 years old.
