Glennic

Glennic is a main character in the book Anew. He is a carriage driver and stablehand for the Florithe stables and assists Sheyric and other characters throughout the book.

## Relationships

### Ceicy

Glennic and Ceicy are co-workers in the Florithe stables. Although they have very different mindsets on weather the west or east of Kiira is better, they are friends. The two of them are drivers for Sheyric and Lorietta on their trip to Raencalia. Glennic states this lengthy job is to “humble” her

Its shown that they have a very close connection, and at times only have to motion to each other to relay messages or commands.

## Personality

Glennic is outgoing and somewhat dramatic. He is largely based off the character John “JD” Dorian from the sitcom Scrubs, both in appearance and personality. He can also be very shameless, flirtatious, and emotional. Many habits from working in The Cirrus carried over into his personality.

He is very good at his job and invested in horses, similarly to Sheyric. He is proud of his city of Florithe, although not as much as most other citizens. It’s stated that he loves western Kiira, both it’s people and geography. He’s one of the leading carriage drivers of Florithe that specialize in traveling in the west.

It’s said by Morxe that Glennic “has about as much spine as an earthworm”, and Ceicy said that he needs to “calm down on the [sexual] tendencies”.

## Skills

### Horses

Being a stablehand and a worker of the Florithe Stables, Glennic is skilled in caring for horses, and he is trusted with those of royalty.

### Cartography

Glennic is very skilled in map making, as he trained in it for years along with other jobs in the Stables. Because of his obvious skill, Evadon allowed him to join the secretive Cartographers Association, who is the group reponsible in creating the maps distributed around Kiira.

### Carriage driving

Glennic is great at driving horses and carriages, and he specializes in traveling in and to western Kiira. However, he is unable to do this after suffering a paralyzed arm.

## Appearance

Glennic is 30 years old as of Anew, and is 6 feet tall. He has dark brown expertly styled hair and dark blue eyes. Like other servants working in the Florithe stables, he wears their simple uniform (including a beige vest, white shirt and boots). In Karyk, his arm is paralyzed, becoming stiff and unmoving. His fingers on this arm curled in and his elbow sat at a bent angle. He’s described as having a beak nose he hates, although Sheyric says it looks fine.

In the Anew epilogue, it’s revealed that he has gained more control of his left arm, being able to move some fingers and elbow slightly.

## Etymology

The name Glennic comes from Glen or Glenn, which is of Scottish origin and means “From the wooded valley”.

## Trivia

* Glennic is canonically gay.
* His quote in chapter 9 of Anew, “relations of an intimate nature” comes from Christopher Turk’s line in Scrubs.
	+ This is related to the fact that Glennic is heavily based on Turk’s friend in the show, JD.
	+ Originally, Glennic was going to have a lover in Florithe similar to Turk instead of getting together with Sheyric.
* Glennic’s specific type of paralysis is Monoplegia, caused by nerve damage to the spinal cord and shoulder.
