Description 

A large man with light brown hair and blue eyes, wrinkled sun damaged skin, commonly seen with a large untrimmed beard and seemingly prefers to wear clothing with earthy colors such as browns and greens. Folk mostly recognize him from his skunk hat which he named Sarah. Typically he wears a kind, honest face and comes across jolly and fun-loving. Known to be a bit naive and dimwitted at times, which also plays into his brutal honesty. Words spoken by him rarely come across as anything but genuine. He speaks with a hearty simpleness, though is known to show signs of deeper levels of intelligence which surprises many. Currently holds a certain sadness in his eyes, and his smile, if it is present, doesn't seem to last very long.

Early Life 

Once upon a time, on the outskirts of a small mountain town, there was a rather large cabin known to house a headmistress and many children whom she cared for, known to be an orphanage. One early morning, just before the sun had risen, a lone woman had left a basket on the doorstep of this cabin. Her reasons unknown. As the headmistress and the eldest child prepared for their morning routine of cooking for the rest of the children, the eldest child heard small cries coming from just outside. Naturally, as the headmistress had become accustomed to the deliveries of undesired children, she knew exactly what it was. She brought the basket inside and set it in the center of the room, with all of the children circling around the basket and gazing inside with the natural curiosity that most children possess. "A baby!" One child cried out. And that it was, a baby boy, who cried relentlessly. "What do we call him?" Another asked, looking to the headmistress. With an indifferent sigh, and a wave of her hand, she dismissed the child's question. "I don't have time to worry about naming it, and neither should all of you. Now stop your gawking and help me in the kitchen!" In unison, the children replied "Yes Headmistress" and began assisting. Only the youngest of the children were allowed to remain with the small baby in the basket, and after some time, the smallest among them, a young girl who had been sitting beside the small baby, leaning over the basket to stare inside said a name that ended up sticking. "Connor".

And with that, he had been known as Connor ever since. Time passed, and the baby grew. Even in his early years, he was rather large. Clumsy. Often earning a look of dismay and disappointment from the headmistress with every spill of a cup or crash of a plate being dropped. He quickly outgrew his older siblings, though they still remained protective of him as their not-so-little little brother. The Headmistress, though seemingly harsh and cruel, did teach and nurture all of the children, and with that came the eventual departure of many orphans Connor grew to look up to. Many would sneak out into the night to escape the life of the orphanage, as they had grown to detest the treatment of the headmistress. However, he would see plenty orphans, now well into their teenage years, officially state their goodbyes to the others as they became of age. With that, the headmistress would begrudgingly give them a surname, as was custom. Blueberry. Gooseberry. Huckleberry. All berry surnames were given to those that had grown old enough to head out on their own. The children of the orphanage had an unofficial ritual of begging them not to leave, crying, hugging, and eventually waving goodbye as they walked off into the distance away from the orphanage.

Connor, though awkward and "simple" as the other children put it, was happy and content with his existence, often spending his time with his sister Rhea. Rhea, being the one closest to his age, and the one who had originally leaned over his basket and given him his name all those years ago. They would spend the most time together among the children, laying outside and stargazing. As the two aged, Rhea would spend less and less time with him, going out into the nearby mountain town and spending her time with the local town boys. Connor, though saddened by this, didn't hold it against his sister, as she always came home and shared stories of her misadventures with him.

Those days wouldn't last, and soon, Rhea had grown restless at the orphanage. Connor, now well into his teens, still had the mindset of a child and begged her not to leave. Though Rhea all but made up her mind. It was time. And Connor, though hard to swallow, accepted this. He would see his older sister off with the other orphans. Rhea, being given the surname of Strawberry, left the orphanage, leaving Connor with a deep sadness he wouldn't soon forget. Connor stayed at the orphanage longer than most, thinking about the regret he felt for not leaving with his sister. Despite his awkward size and natural clumsiness, the orphans cherished him, comforting him and each other during this time. They encouraged him to take a step forward, leaving the Orphanage. And with their encouragement, eventually the decision was made. Much to the headmistress' disbelief, she didn't hesitate to allow his departure, as he had grown older than most did before they decided to leave. And with that decision, she gave him the surname of Boysenberry.

The unofficial ritual felt different. It was still filled with tears and hugs, though there was no begging for Connor not to leave. The orphans smiled and offered parting gifts to remember them by. Connor, though scared and anxious of leaving, was excited, as any young man would be to set out on their own. He waved goodbye to the orphanage, and began his new life.
