• His main hobby is swordplay, he's developed his own fencing techniques over the years.
• He's a hopless romantic and 'falls in love' easy. If it does not bear fruit, he'll be over it in a few weeks.
• Technically, he's on the run from his parents, but nobody needs to know that.
• He's a little dramatic sometimes, and the team will just have to live with it.
• By trade? He's a dancer, and a good one to boot! Mostly IRL Greek inspired, but he loves learning all different dances!

Note: This background features two transgender characters referred to as their AGAB. It’s done so as this is an intrinsic part of their character that I do not want to gloss over. As someone who is trans myself, this is not done out of transphobia, but as an important part of their upbringing. It’s not done out of hate, either. Every Trans experience is different, and if these characters would refer to their younger selves as a daughter/girl/son/boy respectively that’s how I will refer to them so that is not confusing. Look for the

Growing up the eldest daughter was never easy, Eneas could tell you that much. Taking care of younger siblings to ‘prepare’ him for the future, a loveless home preparing him for a loveless marriage, he was treated like the parent those kids barely had. At ten years old, he was raising his twin brothers almost by himself, the maids… Instructed not to help.

He insisted though, from a young age that he wanted to take up fencing, his mother only agreeing because it let him vent out his emotions, and as long as he didn’t skip out on his other duties? There was no harm, not yet anyway. He would finish his studies and immediately he would be in the training room with his fathers guard. Every day there would be stabs at him that– his hobbies were not ‘ladylike’. Every day he would ignore it.

When he grew into himself as a teenager, Eneas would sneak out of the manor and into town, the little bird making fast friends with the townsfolk. Of course, they all knew who he was but… Who were they to ruin the kid’s fun?

During these little foray’s into the unknown, he met another kid, one named Lenka. She was a few years younger than him, but she was. Well, a lot taller and a lot stronger looking than he was. Eneas was– well, both,actually, were smitten. Eneas with her strength, and Lenka with– well, he was just so beautiful.

The two would hang out for a while, Lenka teaching Eneas the ways of being a commonfolk, teaching him their dances, showing him how to fish, what labor around the house was like… Really it was all mundane, but Eneas was in love with it all.

The two began to date in secret, and it was great for a very long time, Lenka’s mother knew, but she didn’t mind. As long as they were staying out of trouble. Which if Eneas had anything to say about it? They were.

A few months into the relationship though, and Eneas’ parents introduce him to a boy his age, one that– in their words would make a fine husband. This was when he was barely sixteen. Of course there would be courting which would be a few years but… He already had someone. And– well he had some other complications as well.

He didn’t meet often with this other boy, in fact he told his parents that it would be far more romantic if they didn’t see each other until it was time, something about absence making the heart grow fonder… At least they bought it.

Him and Lenka continued their meetings in secret, for a few more months, the summer of that same year, under the light of a clear summer moon, the two confessed their deepest secret to each other… It was actually quite funny how it played out, and the two still laugh to this day. It was a weight lifted off both of their shoulders, and though they still loved each other– something shifted that night. That night, they were their truest selves. No longer the Eldest Daughter and Only Son, but they were just Eneas and Lenka. A young man and a young woman, with not a care in the world.

By this time, Eneas was still taking care of his siblings, but they were also taking lessons so he had a lot more free time. He would take up dancing, of course a more regal, professional dance than the ones that the people in town had taught him.

Life though, the next few years was… A lot. His parents pressuring him to start talking about the wedding, making him meet with Petrov, his soon to be husband, more and more. It was beginning to be unavoidable. The man, at least when they had first begun their official courtship had been quite nice, a real prince charming… It was just that. He didn’t feel right. This man wanted something that Eneas could not give. He did try. Oh, he did try… He tried explaining to him that he would be getting a husband, but Petrov laughed it off, and Eneas no longer felt safe.

So at Twenty, the night before the wedding, Eneas disappeared. Him and Lenka ran off to save him from that fate. They didn’t know where their destination would be, but… Anything was better than a loveless marriage and a broken soul.

He was torn up about it, sure, it was the first time that he had felt wanted, the hopeless romantic that he was… It was enchanting. But it was all lies, and Lenka wouldn’t let him live a life like that… And when they hopped off the boat in an unfamiliar place, they knew– at least for now– they were free.

A few years of the two doing odd jobs, they stumble upon two strangers on a late night walk. One with long flowing blue hair the other with a soft green, they looked… solemn but determined. They offered the two a job, taking care of their team while they slipped away in the dead of night.

And it took some time, getting the official paperwork signed over, but Team New Romantics was no more, replaced with Team Sterling Rose. It was sure to be a lot of responsibility, but it was one that Eneas was prepared for.

Eneas was born into a rich family, was made to be the caretaker of his two younger siblings, and to cope with that, he took up fencing and sneaking out of the manor to get air. He met Lenka, and the two immediately hit it off, and began dating– maybe a little too hastily not too long after.

They date for a while in secret, and Eneas’ parents decide to set him up with the handsome son of a neighboring town’s noble family. He skirts his way around it for now, and things continue as normal.

Lenka and Eneas one night decide that they have to tell the other something very important, and in a funny turn of events they both come out to each other as trans, and they. Realize they’re not romantically compatible so they stay close friends, probably closer than before actually.

When Eneas was twenty, his parents pressure him into marrying the man who– Eneas is not out to, and decides that he didn’t feel safe… But he was going to grin and bear it until the night of the wedding when he and Lenka ran away and hopped on a large fishing ship.

Years of odd jobs later, Eneas and Lenka were confronted by the previous leaders of Team New Romantics, where they pass on the torch to– really the next pair of strangers that seemed even half capable, as it seemed like they had business to attend to for a very long time.
