I come from a pretty large family. I'm the second oldest child. I have an older sister (she's 19) and five younger siblings (brothers (14, 12 and 12) and sisters (9 and 5). My aunt also lives with us and she has two kids (11 and 9).
I'm used to chaos. Loud noises. Never getting my way and always having to help out. It's not an issue though as I'm a rather quiet kid. I've never been good at making friends so having a large family means I don't have to worry. I'll always have someone to talk to, if I wanted to talk.
Most of my youth, I lived in a tribe in the forest. We'd interact with the townsfolk but we liked to be in the forest as it taught us how to hone our skills. You see, I come from a line of ninja-like knights. We serve and protect the royals of peace. It's... really hard to explain actually. Just know that I'm essentially a knight but I use Japanese-influenced methods of stealth fighting and attacks. I've spent my whole life learning this kind of stuff.
Although odd to be a "ninja" in this day and age, I've never actually had an issue with my family. They've also been super supportive and nice. I've never heard them yell. Hell, even when they subjected me to this weird test when I was 9 I still loved and respected them. They kept saying that a lost prince was in grave danger. That the darkness would smother him. I didn't have a choice, but I didn't need a choice. Something within told me I had to go. That if I didn't, my life would be incomplete. Plus my parents had faith in me. They've always believed in me (and my siblings.)
So off I went. And it was true. My life would have been incomplete.
That day, I met my best friend and the prince I serve, Melik Tasee. We've been inseparable since. He's like the older brother I always wanted. We get along really well. And he's always there for me. Not that he should be! I'm supposed to serve him! It's just... I enjoy his company. We-we enjoy each other's company. As far as I'm concerned, he's family. He'll always be welcome in the Germain house.
