David, is the first born son of King William the thirty-second and a common woman from the Breaker Islands.
David is the heir to the crown. As the future king, he carries himself as such. However, David doesn’t have many close friends because of this. He says and does everything the way that a king should, but it is a heavy burden to him. He is distant because he feels that no one understands what it’s like to carry the weight of the kingdom on their shoulders. A burden that he secretively wishes would be taken from him.
His closest companion is his sworn protector, Ser Stephan the Broken Sword. After years of being in constant contact, David allowed himself to drop the walls he had built up and find a true friend in the anointed knight. That friendship is more than people realize.
David is named after the several kings from the line of succession. David is one of the more popular names for the royal family. His appearance is very much in line with the stereotypical royal- light skin, dark brown to near black hair, blue eyes. His build is smaller than his brothers.
David has spent years with the finest teachers and philosophers in the kingdom preparing to rule. Since he was a boy, everything in his life was intended to give him over to the service of the kingdom.
Notes-
David’s name is taken from King David in the Old Testament of the Bible. The royal names that I have chosen are typically either from history or a Biblical name.
David, though the future king at the beginning of the story is a secondary character who has some big secrets that he doesn’t want to be known by anyone. This is where so much of his burdens originate from; I wanted David to be a sympathetic character that everyone can relate to as we all have our own secrets to hide.
