### **Personality Summary:**

For a noble, Auguste is a cordial individual. Regarded as the most affable and friendly of the Danrose lineage. He believes in treating everyone with equal respect irregardless of stature or standing, only not doing so when he deems the person unworthy of said respect. He has a certain charisma to his speech, effortlessly turning odd acquaintances to a weird sort of friendship. On occasion, his friendliness has caused friction between him and his fellow nobles regarding following proper conduct befitting that of a 'noble'.

Despite this, he is plenty aware of the quagmire that is politics and his position as the second prince. As such, he carries himself accordingly, the dreaded fear of bringing shame to his house etched into the back of his mind. Auguste has unforeseen skills in politics. In political scenarios, he is said to have a keen and analytical eye, and is able to handle himself well.

Regarding sparring, Auguste has an almost unquenchable thirst for the 'thrill' of battle. Feeling 'truly alive' during the intense, fiery moments of a duel. Despite his love for battle, he is a strict adherent of peace between kingdoms. This clumsy naivety stems from his lack of life experiences, he is of the belief that war affects the common-folk the most and benefits nobility.

Being an extroverted sort, he finds striking up conversations to be an easy affair. He conforms on what he believes the conversation requires- be it him carrying the talk or letting the other take charge if need be.

Else, he usually attempts to reign his family in. Especially during social events, so as to not be wholly despised. Colloquially he is known as 'bridge-builder'.
