### Shippable/Crush

Open

Spruce is a well known Winter aristocrat currently in jail for trying to murder Princess Snowangel Midwinter. His twin sister is Frost.

## ~Appearances~

### >Human<

Spruce has straight silver hair about ear length that makes him look a bit older than his actual age, and a pair of antlers and two elk ears sprouting out the top of his head. He has dark brown eyes and pale skin that, if perhaps he could get a little more sun, tans. He is tall, standing at about 6'1", but his antlers make him look about 6'5". He has a slightly muscular build. He's usually seen wearing a dark blue tunic and silver vest with black pants and black boots. He always carries with him a silver pocket watch.

### >Elk<

Just like a regular elk, though his gray coat has a silvery sheen and his eyes remain brown and human-like.

## ~Personality~

Spruce is quiet and stoic, though he's always thinking about something. He's greedy, maybe even a bit ambitious, and, like his sister, very possessive of his things, though he won't mind sharing with Frost. He cares very much about his sister, and tends to be very protective of her. He doesn't get stressed easily, but enough pressure will make him snap and become downright furious. He doesn't care much about how he looks, after he's used to judgement from his antlers.

## ~Backstory~

Spruce and Frost were once both lowborn peasants. They were born without a father, and so he and his sister were sent to the mines to work, while their mother tried to earn a little more by stealing. However, after she was caught and killed, Spruce and Frost were rendered orphans. To try and fix this, Spruce lied to an elderly couple of nobles, telling them they were children of an aristocratic family who had been killed by beasts.

The two, young twins were soon adopted and grew accustomed to the noble life. But with dwindling money, Spruce wasn't satisfied. It was from then that he set his plans in action to scam other nobles for more money, and pair Frost off with various other aristocrats to gain more status and their wealth.

## ~Character Relationships~

### >Frost<

Frost is Spruce's twin sister. He accidentally created a deal with Lord Hallow, saying that Frost is now his servant, and that she is allowed to visit, but only for up to two years in total. Because of this, Spruce takes much of the blame and feels terribly guilty about it. He's tried to do his best to forget about the deal and his sister entirely by doing things to keep him busy, but in the end it failed. He often takes Frost back to Winter, partially because he know how much it annoys Hallow when he shows up.

### >Hallow<

If it's one person he cannot stand, it's ~~his sister when she complains about rubies~~ Hallow. He finds it infuriating to be outwitted, and even worse that he hasn't figured out a loophole to the deal yet. Spruce is also deeply terrified of Hallow, and wouldn't dare to challenge him again, which leaves him struggling to figure out how to break the deal and get his sister back.

## ~Trivia~

* He's a professional scammer
* Spruce tried and failed to kill Princess Snownangel
* Spruce is not his birth name!
