Coolio. Since we're short on dude characters (True to most Rune Factory games, I see), I'll play a guy. I'm pretty comfortable doing both though.

Name: Yuen
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Race: Human
Occupation: Grocer and Earthmate

Personality: Yuen is a very quiet person, and there's a good reason for that. He's mute! However, his personality is anything but quiet- He uses hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate, and is very skilled at writing. He hates being teased, and is easily embarrassed. However, he can also be very kind and understanding, and is secretly shy around girls, unable to talk to them and stuff. Holland tries to help him out, however, it's not always clear whether he's actually trying to aid the poor boy, or tease him for his own amusement.

History: Yuen's parents were important figures in his home village, far to the south east. His mother was a monster hunter, and his father an Earthmate and chief. A cautious child by nature, Yuen was only ten years old when his friends dragged him along to a forbidden part of the woods near their village, one where monsters were known to reside. However, things took a desperate turn when the group stumbled into the path of a wounded Blood Panther. Abandoned by his friends, Yuen was attacked by the beast, having his throat slashed and body mangled. It was only by luck that a hunting patrol was nearby, following the injured monster, and came across the fleeing children. Yuen was saved, but more dead than alive. He was brought home, and the wounds on his body would eventually heal, but his voice never returned.

He didn't let it keep him down though, learning how to read and write in Elvish and Runes, a hobby while he recovered. His friends felt guilty for his fate, and never bullied him again, visiting him often when he was recuperating. Determined not to be caught again, Yuen insisted on being trained how to fight, eventually persuading his parents to teach him how to use his abilities. Ten years later, he set out on his own, wanting to travel and make his own path in the world. Along the way, he met Holland, after saving him from a couple of unfriendly cats, and hasn't been able to be rid of him since. Eventually, he learned that one of his uncles had recently passed, and being childless, had left his general store to Yuen. Now 23, he moved into the town, letting Holland manage the register while he stocks it with supplies.

Likes: Fighting, writing, reading, and candy(hush that's a secret).
Dislikes: Spicy and bitter foods, cats, teasing, and fish.
Holland: A beautiful rare sky bird, Holland claims to be a prince under a witch's curse, one that can only be broken by the accumulation of 1,000,000 gold. Of course, there is no evidence to back up this claim, and knowing his penchant for lying, it's probably untrue. He loves teasing Yuen and trying to hook him up with girls.

That okay?
