Physical Description of Persona:
Kaefen stands at about 5'11" and is very well built. Though, he isn't much for working out, he stays in shape and lets his wife worry over his appearance. His hair is trimmed short and is a dark brown with red tints to it. His eyes mimic the color of his hair and contrast well with his light skin tone. He has a well defined nose and lips, but neither take away from his soft and friendly features.

He prefers to wear comfortable clothing, which usually consists of loose pants in dark brown or grey and a linen tunic in an off-white color. Kaefen loves his soft leather boots and wears them until they're shredded. His only adornment is his wedding band and craft knots.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Kaefen is the type of man who can get along with anyone. He may not like everyone, but he can easily deal. He's very good at looking past someone's downfalls and focusing on their good points.

He loves his Craft and the feeling of being needed he gets from it. But, even more, he loves his wife. Their marriage wasn't arranged, and so they are together simply because the want to be, even though his wife's mother is still tapping her fingers over grandchildren. Children which Kaefen and Isuel, his wife, want desperately.

History of Persona:
Kaefen was born to Yasren, a Healer and Rankell, in a small cothold outside Dragonfalls Weyr. He's the second child out of six and took to being the protector of his younger siblings up until he left for the Healer Hall.

His older brother, Gerlyn, had already been at the Healer Hall for a few turns and introduced Kaefen to Hall life when he begain his Apprenticeship at 13. His early years there where somewhat uneventful, except for normal trouble that most young boys cause. The turns went by and Kaefen's other 3 brother, Resi, Kily and Yavery, joined him and Gerlyn at the Healer Hall.

The brother's sister, Erde, stayed back and at the age of 17 married a young Beastcrafter, Pherin, who was 21 at the time. Soon after Erde gave birth to their daughter, Ersha. It was around this time that Kaefin met Isuel. She was the same age as Kaefen's sister, the daughter of a Healer and his wife, and he instantly fell for her, hard. It took him months and months of attempting to court her for her to finally accept his advances.

The turn before he had walked the tables, gaining his Journeyman position and was due to be sent out to some Hold somewhere. Not wanting to be separated for any length of time, Kaefen proposed. At first, Isuel wasn't sure about accepting, but after a long talk from her mother, she said yes. Kaefen, 24 and Isuel 19, were married the next turn. From that day on, Isuel's mother has been talking about possible children, to which Kaefen just shrugs and Isuel simply laughs.

Now, Kaefen was transferred out to Garnet Valley Hold and him and Isuel have moved and are in the process of settling in to the Hold.
