== General Info ==
Ryan Caesar Grasswood is a 19-year-old horse currently residing in his dorm room at Oakridge College. When he isn't at his dorm school, he lives in a fairly small house in Mariala City. He lives with his dad, who is rarely ever home. Everday, he always trains hard, by using a punching bag, with a large garbage can over it, so when he breaks it and the sand comes out, it will land in it.
It is like a ritual for Thresh to train every morning for about 1 and a half to 2 hours a day. He does about 100 pushups, 150 crunches, and 100 pull ups, and always lifts weights at the weight lifting room. He doesn't like to be disturbed, so he goes in at about 4 or 5 in the morning, when nobody's there.
When he isn't working out, or toning his body, he is usually seen down at the baseball field playing games with his friends or team. He takes practices very seriously, and scares his opponent teams, and some of his own teammates! Being captain of the MCA Allstars Baseball Team, he is used makes all the calls, and intimidating chants. However, after an altercation between him and the college captain, he had to learn to keep his cool.

==Personality==
The best words to describe Thresh is dark, deep, and ruthless. He talks in a somewhat lower voice and doesn't really stay happy. He also can be cold sometimes. He might say negative things that wouldn't really bring down the mood, but make others find themselves wrong about things. He also doesn't really smile very often. He can be very serious with others when they don't know what they're talking about.
Thresh also shows absolutely no mercy when in battle. He doesn't really show good sportsmanship that often, mainly because he doesn't care if they say stop. He thinks that it is their fault that they challenged him, and knew that they were going to lose. When he is asked to fight someone younger, he tends to be soft and go easy on them, as he tries not to seriously injure them. However, when he loses, it takes him a few days to accept the fact, and likes to be alone over that period of time.
Thresh is more on the quiet side, as he doesn't really like to talk a lot. He only talks to people he knows, or the people he wants to get to know. He doesn't mind if there are like six to ten people with him, but if it was like a whole bunch of people (with the exception of sports teams and parties), then he would probably just walk away.
However, drastically contradicting his quietness, Thresh is loud and aggressive as baseball captain. He's a pretty tough one, as he doesn't really give a crap if someone is tired. He would just make them do more. If one of his teammates were out sick, he would make them do double the amount of time or reps when they come back since they feel "so much better". 
Thresh seems to be somewhat confident in himself that he can achieve anything if he works for it. Everything he does, he always puts his heart into it. He puts every battle intoThis foreshadows to others that Thresh is a very tough opponent to face in anything.
Thresh also has an odd, but helpful characteristic that allows him to make liars spit out the truth. He does this by keep asking him or her questions, and then looking at their expression. Others find him almost like a lie detector for this! He usually does this to tell if a friend or foe is telling a true story.
Behind his dark and scary feelings, Thresh does have a soft spot. Only people who can truly understand him can access this. Many people find him to be a villain, but they don't see all the heroic deeds that he does, like save people's lives from drowning. What he finds to be positive, others don't.
