Regarded as the most affable and friendly of the Danrose lineage. He believes in treating everyone with equal respect irregardless of stature or standing, only not doing so when he deems the person unworthy of said respect. He has a certain charisma to his speech, effortlessly turning odd acquaintances to a weird sort of friendship. On occasion, his friendliness has caused friction between him and his fellow nobles regarding following proper conduct befitting that of a 'noble'. Despite this, he is plenty aware of the quagmire that is politics and his position as the second prince. As such, he carries himself accordingly, the dreaded fear of bringing shame to his house etched into the back of his mind. Auguste has unforeseen skills in politics. In political scenarios, he is said to have a keen and analytical eye, and is able to handle himself well. Regarding sparring, Auguste has an almost unquenchable thirst for the 'thrill' of battle. Feeling 'truly alive' during the intense, fiery moments of a duel. Despite his love for battle, he is a strict adherent of peace between kingdoms. This clumsy naivety stems from his lack of life experiences, he is of the belief that war affects the common-folk the most and benefits nobility. Being an extroverted sort, he finds striking up conversations to be an easy affair. He conforms on what he believes the conversation requires- be it him carrying the talk or letting the other take charge if need be. Else, he usually attempts to reign his family in. Especially during social events, so as to not be wholly despised. Colloquially he is known as 'bridge-builder'.

While his brother, Wulfric, was slated to be the crowned prince, he was the veritable 'backup'. He, too, was given similar and strict training as his brother. Despite this, he was still given a tad more freedom than his brother to pursue more hobbies and personal interests. During his youth that he spectated soldiers hosting mock duels. This sparked his interest for swordsmanship. Soon he would be found mingling with soldiers, training alongside and conversing with them. It was here that he developed his sense of empathy, as soldiers mostly comprised of commoners. Here he also saw the tip of the iceberg of the cruelties of war. Similarly he has spent alot of time around commoners, able to observe their daily woes and such and as such empathizes with them strongly. In the past few years, alongside Auguste's nobility training and hobby, he has been sharpening his political and conversational skills. Auguste was happy to oblige, wanting the best for his household. With Auguste's natural charisma and talent, he has had little issue with accompanying his brother to political events.[/indent][/indent] [hr] [hider=Questionnaire] [h2][u][b]Questionnaire[/b][/u][/h2] Optional(in POV of your character) [u][b]History[/b][/u] [b]Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?:[/b] [indent][indent][color=#EEDC5B]"Nurtured, very much so.
