[hider=Balthy the young prince] Name: Balthazar Arthur De Hiertania 
Age:16
Skill and/or weapon: Besides the basic teaching that is becoming of a prince of his statures, such as fencing and high education. Balthazar takes great pleasure in the art of poetry. He has a great voice when it comes to singing and music (He has almost perfect pitch), only his lack of sense in reading said music is quite a shame. 

The boy tried to learn archery and he while he doesn’t like it, his skill with a bow is quite good. The reason for this endeavor, however, was to escape the ever constant doting of his mother, the Queen Diana. His father scolded him for using such a cowardly weapon, however, not giving a reasonable explanation to ending his lessons (which upon his father's death he plans to ask his brother to allow him to start up his lessons).

When it comes to his mind, the boy is great when it comes to his reading speed and comprehension. But instead of focusing on policies and the like, he only devotes his time to stories and fiction.
Personality: Since his mother practically smothered him with attention as a child he mostly likes to be secluded, however, he is not shy he is very outgoing whenever he is forced to leave his room for formal events his older brothers can’t bother to go to. He would not like to take the crown because he has specific marriage choices would make him seem unfit to take the throne. What exactly are his marriage choices? He wants to marry a poet, or at least a person with a tortured soul that he can either teach how to write poetry or write poetry about. Basically, he loves poetry. He doesn't stop talking about it. And although he doesn't believe in true love he would like to get married for life one day. He loves playing pranks (although he isn't good at it). He loves jokes but hates puns, which his brothers took delight in. His father was never supportive of him considering he was third in line and has never expected to be more than a prince. He would rather put the money they are using to fight the Lutaires for the arts but no one cares what he thinks because he prefers to stay out of politics, however, he likes to express all his ideas freely. He also is quite arrogant and all the ladies swoon over him until they find out he has a thing for poets and tortured souls.
In short: He learns fast, HE LOVES POETRY (and is quite good at it), is good with a bow however not the sword, and is good with music. in more short, he's completely useless to anyone who needs something other than art.

Biography: Balthazar is the third in line for the throne however he takes from his uncle in that he never wanted to take the throne. Good news for him it looks like he will never have to.(unless his brothers kill each other in their feud.)  He has had a love for the arts ever since his mother read him bedtime stories as a child. While many women swoon over him he likes poets and only poets but would settle for someone with a rough past. This is because he hates having a perfect life and wants something to complain about. And his whole life basically revolves around art, music, and writing. 
He hates going outdoors, especially because he hates bugs. Luckily he has a high metabolism so he doesn't have to exercise much if at all. He honestly just wants to find someone who will read and write and listen to poetry and music with him. His older brothers picked on him constantly as a child, however, more recently it seems his eldest brother has thankfully grown out of the habit. His brother Rowan, however, seems to despise him, not as much as he despises the crown prince, however. Balthazar tries to stay in his room as much as possible to stay away from his brothers and his father. Especially his father, they tend to stare at each other unspeaking whenever they are in a room together. unless of course, his father has something to correct him on. so to speak, he does not have a good relationship with his family.

Appearance: Dark brown hair that's so dark he says it's back but sadly it's still brown. brown eyes that are easily considered yellow. 5’5 very pale skin (from never going outside). Also very scrawny (also from never going outside to exercise).
