Timothy Saunders, Wanderer

Timothy has a soft, kind look, as if he'd never want to or would hurt anyone. His face is often just a blank page, not telling anything about what he thinks or feels, unless someone stuns him or he's very close to someone. Although his face doesn't tell anything, it's usually tight. For example, instead of just relaxing his face all the way, He sort of keeps in lips in a slight frown and slightly narrows his eyes. Even though he usually looks troubled, when he smiles it brightens up his whole face.

His lips are a light pink and have rather sharp edges, but not too sharp ones. They make him look like an angel when he smiles becuse he never smiles with his teeth. His eyes are a green/hazel color muted down with gray and he his long eyelshes. His eyebrows are kind of thin and are a dark brown. His hair is kind of curly but not really, it's more wavy, and it's a dark chocolate brown.

Timothy always does his best not to be noticed. It's what he's accustomed to. He never does anything spontaneous and he barely ever speaks, in fear that he'll say something wrong or something that will attract too much attention to him. He'll never stick up for himself if he's bothered, he'll just try to ignore it, and he doesn't fight almost at all. He usually just tries to avoid conflict. He's not really, shy he just doesn't like to stand out way too much. And if he had to chose to fight or flee, he'd flee.

Timothy's gay, by the way. He currently has no boyfriend as where he lived there were no other gay boys he could find and in the woods there aren't many other people he sees, let alone gay ones. He's not obsessed with dating or anything. He's just not like that. He's not pessimistic or optimistic, he's just neutral. He doesn't focus on the past or the forture, just on the present.

Timothy doesn't like people who hold grudges. He thinks it's overly petty. He sometimes wishes he could be more bold and stick up for himself more, but whever he tries he fails. He just can't do it. He's a quiet, kind, peacemaker. He doesn't dramatically to nearly anything, unless it's something really bad that's happening to someone he really cares about.

Timothy lived with his father and his three older brothers. His mother died from brain cancer when he was two. He can't remember anything about her, but he carries a picture of her in his pocket. He has her eyes. His father and brother's were raised to be homophobes from the moment they learned what homosexuals were.

That was one of the main reasons he ran away. His family turned on him once his older brother found out he was gay and told everyone he knew. All his brothers shunned him and he was even missing meals because of his father. It was horrrible. He lived without any fun, any friends, any anything. That's probably one of the main reasons he doesn't like to be noticed and he's really quiet and won't stand up for himself. Most of the kids at his school were homophobes as well, or just weren't mature enough to just accept it. He couldn't take it anymore. Anywhere had to be better than where he was then. So he left. He took his shoes and a sweatshirt and his picture of his mom, and ran.

Tim escaped really easily. It was a cloudy night with no moon. He grabbed a vase a slipped outside. He smashed the vase on the side of the yard facing away from the woods and he started towards the woods as his family and neighbors went outside to see what happened. While they were all panicing and being confused, Tim slipped away into the woods. Tim and his father had a bad relationship, even when Tim's dad didn't know he ws gay. They mostly just avoided each other because for some reason neither one felt comfortable around each other. After Tim's father found out, things just got worse. Timothy often snuck out the window in his bedroom and escaped to the woods just to get away. The second youngest boy of the family, Aaron, was actually decent to Timothy. He wasn't as horrible as the rest of them probably becuse they had been friends for a long time. Timothy asked if he'd come with him, but Aaron said he wouldn't. He had no reason to leave. But he wouldn't tell Tim's dad and brothers that he was leaving. Tim just wanted to forget his past. Just forget what happened.

Timothy dated a few girls when he was a kid, but there was nothing special about them. It's kind of funny though, because a lot of boys like him and think he's cute. Too bad for them. His oldest brother liked to make fun of him and torture him whenever possible. Tim never knew why, but he liked to bully people a lot. A trait he most probably got from his dad. The second oldest boy of the family was Gregory. He was stuck up and arrogant and had the most amazing looks in the family. Girl's worshipped him and he didn't really like anyone else in the family. Aaron didn't quite know where he stood in the family. Tim always thought he was decent, but he's not sure if he's changed while he's been gone.

Tim does ok on his own. He hunts for food or gathers and he's decent at that. He takes care of himself as well as he can, but it does get difficult, especially in the winter. He doesn't have much warm clothing. He did find a dead wanderer and took the blanket he had, but it was ratty and worn down. In the summer and spring he lives fine though. He can climb trees and knows some stuff about plants, just not fighting. He gets most of his meat from traps and the one thing he does have to attack someone with is a staff which he made with a rock. He hates the cold, but loves warm wheather, no matter how warm it is.

Basically, he's had a horrible past, and he just wants to leave it behind him and move on.
