## Bio

Boone was born and fully raised in Bonesborough, The Boiling Isles. He was hatched by an egg a few days late in the Garcia Mansion, mainly being taken care of by his mother Calypso. He’s the only hatch-let in the family (only child). Boone barely had any reaction with his father; Borealis due to his service in the Emperor’s Coven as the Emperor; following Belos’ defeat by Luz, Eda, and King. The only few times he would even see him would be during his few days off- which would maybe not be for a couple years at a time. The griffin chick was homeschooled for a few years until he was allowed by Calypso to enter Hexside to start learning magic.

The relationship of his parents began to skyrocket about two years before meeting Gracie. Arguments and anger fits between each other about responsibilities to take care of their son. Calypso ended up divorcing Borealis making Boone be with his father. At times he would be with his father in the Emperor’s Castle during his work- which due to his clumsiness, he would mess up the place or even the scouts’ and guards’ plans themselves if they had something building. Due to the stress that he was causing, he would be left at the Mansion days on end without Borealis coming home to check on him- he would just send a guard. As he grew, he got used to his father not being there and made it easier to live alone.

It was difficult for him to make friends at first as a young chick, because his father was the emperor, and the kids were either scared of him or thought he was a clumsy bird to not be around. His first year of Hexside, he made friends rather quickly with Aurora, Koda, Sydney, Glacier, and Rio. They would often have a table in the Cafetiera that they would all sit at as a group. Boone was pretty good at Beastkeeping and Illusions, but was struggling at Construction. He wanted to do the Bard Track as well because of his amazing singing and music skills, but was forbidden to do it instructed by his father.

Boone has heard about ‘The Dragon Lady’ aka; Luz Noceda and all the stories during and before his time. He looks at her as an idol and someone that he wants to be like someday! However, heard some bad things- like conflicts involving his father and her, and fears that he would be looked at as an enemy as well so the griffin tries to stay away and out the way of Luz. He did have a slight interaction with her before meeting Gracie; Boone was on a friend outing with Koda, Aurora, Sydney, Rio, and Glacier when they crossed paths. Boone was so nervous he overreacted and jumped into a nearby trash can to get out of her path. There was one time he was seen with his father Borealis that Boone was given the glare.

When he heard that Luz had a daughter, he was actually in shock and wondered why he never had seen her, then understood when hearing that she was new and was in the Human Realm for some time growing up. Boone first met Gracie when she enrolled into Hexside and was getting to know the school and what tracks there were. The griffin immediately fell in love, but knew that he couldn’t be around her without Luz finding out. Nervous and hesitant at first, his friends helped, and they all met her and Gracie very quickly joined in the friendship group. He kept his feelings in deep for a while as he was scared about what would happen- especially what would happen if The Dragon Lady finds out.

Conflicts with his father continued to increase, and started to notice secrets that he was keeping. Sneaking into the castle, he found out his plans, blueprints, and journals in his office room for attempts to bring Emperor Belos back from the dead and to do the Day of Unity again as the first time was a failed attempt. He took pictures of the desk where everything was laid out and went straight to the Owl House to show Luz as that’s the only person he could think of to alert. At first, Boone was accused of starting something, but once he brought out the evidence, Luz started to take him seriously- but kept an eye on him. A resistance was developed to start back attack plans and discussed how to stop him.

Though he was the son of Borealis, he didn’t really have a strong bond towards him since he was always at the castle and serving. He witnessed multiple arguments and fights between both his parents that sometimes still triggers PTSD for him when he sees him or his name is mentioned. Boone ended up pushing past his PTSD with support of his friends and even Luz, once she actually saw that he’s nothing like Borealis. Luz started to allow him to spend more time around Gracie, but only under supervision which Boone didn’t mind. He expressed his feelings to Gracie finally, the two began to date just a few days before the Day of Unity- which Boone calls “Day of Unity 2.0”. With Gracie, Koda, Sydney, Rio, Aurora, and Glacier, they were all sent across the portal into the Human Realm as Luz was protecting the kids from the effects and dangers.

It was hard for Boone to get used to the Human Realm for some time, but with Gracie’s guidance, it became easier he was also with her to help her through her emotions and the rough couple weeks. He never knew about Gracie’s past, and felt a mixture of emotions for both sides; Gracie and Hayden and Mackenzie. He was decent to the two adults, but disguised about what they did - only to trust them and kinder a bit more when they helped the group more to cross back into the Demon Realm to stop Borealis.

When peace was restored to the Isles, he found out that he has a younger half-sister when Calypso returned to Bonesbough. Boone treats Star like a treasured family member and following the danger, he still protects her.

In the future when he starts a family with Gracie, he is the same with his chicks and later on; human daughter, giving them a great childhood Borealis never gave him and protected his young.

## Appearances

Boone has a rear body of a lion, an eagle's head with erect ears, a feathered breast, and the forelegs of an eagle, including claws. His head and fluffed chest is all black, with his forelegs being a light orange color - his claws black. His wings are a mocha color, with his lion rear body and tail. His eyes are a dark brown color.

#### Season 1

(same as above considering the feather, talons/claws, legs/paws color…)

#### Season 2

As Boone continues to grow, his feathers get darker and rich in color. His wings and feathers are close to a Hickory brown color. He starts getting a lighter shade of Carob brown along the bottom of his chest feathers. His beak begins to curve downwards to a pointy beak shape.

During a fight with his father, trying to hold up while the others were trying to get to him; Boone gets a scar above his right eye, the same place that Borealis has his.

#### Season 3

Boone begins to get fluffs and tufts of feathers on the side of his head and his feathers getting slightly puffier. His head feathers color begins to settle down to an umber brown color with his body and tail fur/feathers getting to a cedar brown. Boone also starts to get slight white markings on his orange claws and tail. The griffin wears a promise moonstone clip on a leather wristband around his right frontpaw; as he wants to marry Gracie someday when they're old enough.

#### Third Generation!

Boone’s eyes are a brunette brown color now as over time his dark brown color got slighter darker. His beak is now a tiger orange color. When married to Gracie, around his left frontpaw, Boone wears a Sterling Silver Bracelet with a halo diamond engraved into it- on the left side has a symbol of a griffin and bela beast crossed with a heart between them.

## Personality

Boone is a goofy, laid back, caring griffin and in general like a big teddy bear! He’s very protective of his friends and can’t say “no” often which can get him into unthinkable situations that either involve stunts, insane acts that could result in injury or even something that didn’t think he could do. He wants to set a good first impression for everyone around him, but mostly for Luz Noceda since she was the ‘strongest and powerful witch on the Boiling Isles’. He does develop a stage of PTSD due to years of seeing both her father and mother arguing that would/could result in a fight, which is the reason for him to start panicking and stepping out of the way when anyone gets overheated or anyone from his friend group starts loudly talking.

Boone is quite a class clown. He enjoys pranks, puns, and jokes and is rather clumsy that would make anyone laugh- anyone but Gracie who would get concerned for him if he were to get hurt. He really cares for Gracie and would do anything for her to stay safe. He would go to an extense as either sacrificing himself, throwing himself into harm's way instead of her doing so, or even standing up to her own mother; Luz Noceda and expressing how difficult it is to show her that he’s nothing like his father, which soon earns her respect.
