Richard

Richard was born on the southern coast of Provence. His father was a soldier, and his mother was a hedge witch. He never knew his father, who left for a Crusade, but has seen a few letters from him. Richard's parents are truly in love, guided by God to be together, though his duty to the church caused him to leave once again with a promise to return. His mother taught him many things, mundane and mystic, and he helped keep their home when she went out to do her witchcraft for the local village. His mother, however, is getting weaker and weaker, withering away in absence of her true love, who has died in Thessaloniki; So his mother is looking for someone to help raise the child when she finally dies of sadness.

Richard believes a faerie curse is the cause of his mother's withering, though in truth it was love of her father that was keeping her from withering for so long.

My suggestions for Richard include Self-Confident, Affinity with Vim.. I'd enjoy Gentle Gift, and he'd be a good Jerbiton. True Love would be a very... appropriate virtue/flaw for Richard, however. Perhaps a way to slow his aging to be with his love forever. Maybe someday he'll forgive the faeries for killing his mom, since they actually had nothing to do with it.
