Name: Nicolai Augustine Montfort
Title/Occupation: Crown Prince of Astaria 
Nationality: Astarian
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual (Unknown)

Appearance: 

Of subtly lacking height Nicolai is far from exceptionally tall. In fact his lean and lithe form gives the impression he would rather spend his days reading than doing typical princely things. His fair skin shows no signs of stress or labor, perfectly smooth and well cared for. Golden blonde hair is kept at just below ear level and well groomed, there is also a subtle scent of citrus that follows him its main source being those golden waves. His eyes are a rich blue, mimicking the waves of the sea in color. His movements are always those of someone who is graceful and confident yet unwilling to make a show of things.
 
Interests: 

Nicolai enjoys studying things, mainly things like medical theory, science and inventing. Most would call his interests anti-social saying he prefers books to people. That's not true, he likes studying people just as much and having them think he is merely a bookworm gives him an excellent way to observe them. However there is one pastime Nicolai enjoys above even his studies. Dancing. Rumor has it that the court of Astaria has erupted into fights over who gets to dance with the graceful prince. His talent in dance transfers to a natural sort of grace in his movements that he just cannot seem to hide.

Personality: 

Calm, composed and mostly practical, Nicolai can be described by all these words. He tends to have an air of serenity about him, a calm that seems unwavering....until he gets passionate or excited about something. And he is passionate, about knowledge and about the arts of music and dancing. As far as social relations go he is more reserved, some would say shy but really he just has trouble socializing with people rather than just studying them as is his habit. He is also notoriously soft hearted, eager to help where he can while still understanding that its best to give people ways to aid themselves rather than outright charity. However there is another side to this coin, he cannot stand the idea of people being oppressed by others for what they believe or want. It will bring out a fiery rage that most would not assume he even has in him. 

History: 

Nicolai was born as the first son, Heir, and Crown Prince of Astaria. He grew up with the best teachers and those teachers were then swapped out for new ones as the young prince learned and grew. He had a burning desire to know how things worked, mainly in relation to life and the world around him. Medicine and science were studied eagerly and then he began to dabble in making various gadgets as he learned to apply what he knew to inventing. His social skills however seemed to lack at first but slowly he began to grow more acustomed to such, though he was never truly a socialite more of an observer. 

He liked to watch people,  see how they worked if they had problems or woes he would try and discretely find a way to fix them with no one ever knowing he was involved. Over the years as he grew up he managed to subtly put quite a few couples together, yet he found no interest in such himself. He researched the matter extensively, wondering if he was broken but when he found nothing he resigned himself to a political marriage without feeling as he wasn't sure he was capable of feeling that way. The truth was he was always looking at ladies to figure this out and never even considered to try looking the other way. Because for all his smarts Nicolai could sometimes overlook the obvious quite well.

One exception to his lack of social ability was dancing, Nicolai took dancing lessons from an early age and even learned to play the violin. His skill on the dancefloor, the fluid grace with which he moved not only gave him peace and confidence but drew the attention of those around him as well. Yet no matter how many women vied for his attention he remained polite and calm yet strangely unaffected. Finally his father got fed up, and his son was all but ordered to attend the newly opening season in hopes of finding a partner.
