Gobi

Gobi belongs to Synae. He is the secondary character in The Weight of a Memory.
== Appearance ==
Gobi is a light tan SandWing with orange eyes "the color of a sunset". He has freckles, deep dimples, and a line of diamond patterns that look natural but are later revealed to be tattoos. He is described to have a bright smile that lights up his entire face.
== Personality ==
Gobi is relentlessly cheerful, optimistic, and curious. He is a compassionate, deeply caring dragon, but he can sometimes pester when he gets too curious. It is later revealed that his optimism is a way of coping with the loss of his sister. He believes that the way to best honor her memory is to enjoy life and make as many new memories as he can, and love as deeply as he can, since she died young and wasn't able to. He also believes that his inherent grief is wrong, and that he is "insulting" her memory by grieving her loss, so, just like Baltic, he tries to smother his grief, but with optimism instead of cynical apathy. Deep down, he believes that if he can get rid of his grief altogether, then in a way he will atone for her death.
== History ==
Gobi and his sister were orphaned as infants, and were taken in by a small country village who raised them collectively. They grew up very close, planning to go on adventures together and see the whole world. His sister firmly believed that if you weren't happy, you wasted your life, and taught Gobi, who was naturally more shy, to be happy and enjoy life.
When his sister died young in a sudden car crash, he vowed to enjoy life as much as he could and live out what his sister taught him, since she wasn't able to fully live out her life. He started writing a meticulously detailed biography of her life and all the things she did, believing that memories were sacred and should be preserved at all costs.
He is roommates in a city apartment with Baltic, who is apathetic and cold to him. He intuitively senses that she is hiding something tragic, though, and being compassionate and kind, is trying to get her to trust him. On the way, he's slowly falling in love with her.
