Character Approval/Darius Gerjentire

Lexi :3

1) **Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.**
He is the older brother of Seraphina Gerjentire, and the son of Albert Gerjentire and Vanessa Gerjentire. Vanessa Gerjentire is his step-mother, and Trishna Brown is his biological mother. His biological mother favored him more than his sister, and because of that his family was torn. Albert filed a Match Fail when Trishna pushed Seraphina into a lake, causing her to almost drown. Before Seraphina was pushed into the lake, Darius never felt bad about how he treated her. His mother said it was the right thing to do, and he believed her. But when he saw her desperately shouting for help, something clicked in Darius that day. His mind said it wasn’t his fault, but his heart said otherwise. After that, his father went from frequently scolding him to pure cold treatment. He didn’t say it directly, but Darius immediately knew that he completely lost his father’s trust the moment his father saw him at the lake, doing nothing but staring at his sister drowning. Darius felt shattered. No matter how much his mother told him it wasn’t his fault, he felt empty. He wanted to apologize, but the words refused to come out, and he didn’t felt like he deserved to be forgiven. Soon after that incident his mother and father filed the Match Fail and parted ways. After that, Darius and Seraphina became strangers. They hardly interacted with one another. There was a hard, sturdy wall between the two that prevented them from becoming close until he was a Level 4 at Foxfire. When he was a Level 4, Seraphina manifested. You’d think that everyone would congratulate her for the accomplishment, but nope. Pity was in the air. Everyone heard about the incident of her drowning, and had nothing but sympathetic pity for her when they realized she manifested as a Hydrokinetic. Seraphina locked herself in her bedroom for days. She wouldn’t come out, nor eat at all, so Darius was practically forced to leave food in front of her bedroom door. After a few days of doing that, he grew skeptical of her presence in there and began to spill everything that was in his mind, from how sorry he was to her, to how his life isn’t all rainbows. First his “confession” started off being very apologetic. Then as he continued, it became a bit more...miserable. He talked about how he hated himself after the incident, how he regretted his past actions, how he wanted change for the good, if others around him would grant him a second chance to prove he could change. The next day, miraculously Seraphina stepped out of her room. The two began to patch their friendship up and was soon again became best friends. Darius helped her control her ability, and helped her through her hardships. His father soon noticed how he changed and returned to being warm to him. Darius felt immensely thankful for his family for forgiving him, and promised to become a better person. And he kept his promise. After he graduated from Foxfire, he became an Emissary that was known for being generous and trustworthy. He is currently 168 years old.

2) **What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.**

He is generous and trustworthy, and is very humble. Sometimes he's not used to expressing his emotions, which was one of the reasons why he hesitates often. He's calm and shy. He won't talk if he's not invited to, and once he does, he'll start blabbering from what his favorite color is to amount of books he's read in his entire life.
