Profile
- Signature Colour/s: Yellow
Siddhartha is the heart and soul of his friends, a valiant and easygoing and all-around good guy to be around. He connects with others on a personal level. Unlike his sister, who treats everyone with cool professionalism, everyone instantly feels like Siddhartha's friend. Siddhartha is lenient and tranquil, but not good at enforcing discipline. He has the occasional reckless and mischievious moment.
With a good sense of humour, Siddhartha's natural charm endears him to everyone. He wears his heart on his sleeve. All the same, he has terrible manners and tends to be silly even in serious situations. When his feelings are hurt unintentionally, he takes it personally. Siddhartha can be vain, cocky, and supremely lazy. He hates working and makes no secret of it. He experiences intense, uncontrollable emotional reactions to most things, for good or ill.
- Siddhartha possesses what is considered 'weak' magical abilities by others. Has the ability to compel others to tell him the truth, render them unconscious, and mind control them. He currently lacks the discipline to properly develop them, but possesses great potential.
- Has some rudimentary light-based magic. He can create floating, harmless orbs of light to illuminate a wide area.
Siddhartha was born in a large city in the Ironjaw Kingdom. Shortly after he was born, his mother, Peri, was burnt at the stake, and he, his father, and his sister all fled to the countryside town of Savillrow.
Siddhartha grew up in Savillrow largely under the care of his older sister, Tora, while Thor was away for work. He attended the local schoolhouse seasonally and had a pleasant childhood where he helped attend the family farm and do ordinary child-related things. Siddhartha was a popular and talkative child who, unlike Tora, had no memory of his mother's death and little trauma to speak of. While Thor invested a lot of training into Thor, Siddhartha was not trained to fight as his magic was not attuned to that.
When he was six, Thor one day walked into the forest and disappeared, and not too long after, Savillrow was attacked by a mysterious force that destroyed the town. Many of Siddhartha and Torah's friends and neighbours were killed, however the siblings managed to escape.
Taking a boat to safety, Tora and Siddhartha rescued a stowaway named Auburn who was about to be thrown overboard. Auburn followed them to their final destination in the forest of Werlock and, since then, he's basically been adopted by them.
As he's gotten older, Siddhartha has found employment as a day labourer, doing what he can to contribute to survival in the Deep Forest. One day, Siddhartha encountered a half-wild hyena named Fabu who had been running wild in the area. With his unique telepathic magic, Siddhartha managed to 'tame' him enough to allow him to function almost-normally in everyday society, a first in history. Tora was both impressed and horrified, and has since been trying to think of a way to help Siddhartha develop his underused magical abilities.

Tora is the only being in existence Siddhartha wouldn't properly nickname out of sheer respect and awe. Siddhartha grounds Tora in her more stubborn moments and guides her to more humane options. She relies on him greatly for advice and guidance.
Siddhartha is at odds with Sedna sometimes because they don't have much in common, however he can see through her ornery nature and sees that she's a bully because she's hurting. Siddhartha is one of the only animals Sedna DOESN'T talk down to, an accomplishment in itself.
Fabu is Siddhartha's best friend. They often hang out together and will always be grouped together if the team needs to split up. Siddhartha loves Fabu's world experience, loud nature, and rebelliousness. A lot of their neighbours are repressed, so Siddhartha appreciates Fabu's honesty with himself.
Siddhartha was the one who insisted he and Torah adopt Auburn after he got stranded away from home. He loves teasing Auburn because he doesn't react to much, and appreciates his various eccentricities.
Siddhartha loves Ginger! He thinks he's hilarious to prank and he thinks that he has deep emotional issues and desperately needs a friend. Siddhartha plays a pivotal role to Ginger's integration to normal society.
