Name: Nathaniel Frostfawn (Owens)
Nicknames: Nate/Nathan
Age: 20
Birthday: 6th Fall, 492AV
Race: Human/Vantha
Appearance
Nate stands around 5'11" and as a result is a lot taller than most Vantha in his hometown. He is a mixed Vantha blood, though looking at him one would think that he is just a normal human guy. He has short, copper coloured hair free from any unnatural colour that many Vantha possess, and it compliments his light sea-foam green eyes. His skin is tanned but not overly so; he simply looks as though he spends a lot of time outside in the sunshine. He is lean, but has definite muscle since most of his time is spent hunting and shooting arrows. All in all, Nate is the sort of person who looks like he belongs in a warm city, not in the frozen reaches of Avanthal.
Concept
Nate is not what one would call quiet, yet he is not exactly brash either. He generally comes across as a charming, assertive and humorous guy. He has a boyish air about him that shows often through an easy grin, his eyes lighting up with what is no doubt mischief. He can be defensive, especially when challenged on his archery skills, and will often turn grumpy when proved wrong. When something is bothering him, Nate will turn unusually quiet, shrugging off most conversation and wandering off alone.
Beneath his almost arrogant exterior Nate is actually a kind person, though he tries not to let it show too much. He can be very protective, especially when something or someone is being threatened, and it is not unknown for him to come to the defence of a relative stranger.
Nate is a hard worker, and finds it easy to put himself in a focused mindset. Once he has a task, he will finish it, even if he has to earn a few cuts and bruises to do so.

History
Nate's childhood was relatively unspectacular. He was born in snowy Avanthal in 492AV to a Vantha mother (Natalia) and human father (John). His father had come to the city four years prior, and upon meeting his mother decided to stay. Nate was born into the Frostfawn Hold, the Hold of his mother, so he grew up around the many animals that inhabited the city.
Natalia was a falconer, and while he was fascinated by the raptors she would show him, Nate always felt a pull towards the bow and arrow. As a young boy, he would watch the hunters as they practised in the archery range, dreaming of one day being as skilled as they. His father bought him a small bow when he turned seven, and Nate would go out and practise shooting blunt arrows at snowbanks.
When Nate turned 8, John decided that he wanted to move his family to Syliras. His mother resisted at first but eventually, just after Nate's ninth birthday, the three of them left with a traders caravan bound for the city. The journey was long, but they soon got there and soon enough they were settled. Nate didn't mind the city, but he missed the wide open spaces that Taldera had. His mother, on the other hand, hated it. Syliras was too enclosed and she never felt at home in the high stony walls. John and Natalia constantly argued, and the time came that she would return to Avanthal.
Nate was given a choice, and he decided to return with his mother. In 505AV, when he was 12 years old, they joined another trader and made their way back to the northern reaches.
Nate continued to precise his archery, slowly improving as time went on. He also fell for a Vantha girl by the name of Lisette, and the pair were soon spending every day in each others company. When she turned 16 (Nate was 17), her parents decided to marry her to another. He was a full Vantha and his parents saw him as a much better match than Nate was. Naturally the pair were devastated, and Nate still misses her, and as a result tries to avoid her as much as possible.
Nate is unsure of exactly what he wants for the future. He loves Avanthal, but he has an itching to travel, and often recalls the Knights he saw around Syliras as a boy.
