Zephyr Hierro
Zephyr Hierro • 6 of Spades • The Elemental Blades"A true master is an eternal student."
♠ ♠ ♠
17 • Male
Appearance:Zephyr's most prominent physical feature for most people would be his ears. They're just a bit too pointed for people to not notice them. There's no special story behind them, he's not some mystical race like some joke, genetics just said, "you know what? You're getting pointy ears." Part of the reason Zephyr keeps his hair long enough to cover them is just to reduce the comment he gets about them.
Other than that there isn't much remarkable about how Zephyr looks. He's a bit on the heavy side, but being 6'1" helps hide that fact. He wears a lot of blue, but that's more because he genuinely likes the colour and not just because he's a Spade.
Personality: If one had to describe Zephyr with a single word, focused would probably be a popular answer. Whether he is focusing on learning a new type of magic, focusing on his swordplay, or just focusing on being with friends. Zephyr lives in the moment and has a one track mind when doing something he deems important.
Zephyr sees life as one big lesson, and whatever he is doing also gives him a chance to learn. He enjoys life and wants to live it to the fullest, and how can you do that if you don't know as much about everything as you can?
Zephyr is generally a happy guy, and not much gets him down. When he does feel down though he drops like a stone. Often isolating himself and focusing solely on reading, trying to learn anything and everything he can. Thinking that if he just learns the right thing he'll be able to fix the awful feeling inside of him. It often takes others forcing themselves on him to get him out of his rut.
Biography:Zephyr is part of the house of The Elemental Blades, one which very often has Spades intermingling with Clubs. Whether the swords are magical or made of steel, members of this house are exemplary at melee weapon combat. Zephyr's parents in particular were in a Deck together during their prime. His mother was surprised a Spade could be so adept with a sword (albeit a magic one) and his father was impressed at her combination of elemental magic in her combat style.
After their time out in the world they decided to settle down together and that's where Zephyr came from. When Zephyr started showing which parent he took after more it was very clearly the magic of his father, even though physically everyone says he looks so much like his mother. Both his parents taught him what they knew, thus giving him his current, almost hybrid, fighting style.
Unfortunately things couldn't stay happy forever. Zephyr's father came down with an illness which could not be cured. His father died when Zephyr was only 11, and that sent him into depression. Zephyr isolated himself and spent all his time reading, barely remembering to eat and unable to accept the death of his father. There had to be some way to see him again, but despite all his efforts, Zephyr found nothing. Eventually his mother got through to him, and after some time he just got used to his dad not being around.
