Personality:
{Outwardly: Weak, Overprotective, Loving (towards his family), Curious}
{Inwardly: Caring, Loving (towards his family), Curious, Dreamer}
On the outside, Simon appears to be too weak to stand up for himself. He really just doesn't care. He won't stand up for himself if he doesn't think it is worth it or will benefit him. He is very good about not caring if he is insulted but can't stand it when his family is mentioned. Simon is always overprotective of his brother and will always try to talk him out of a stupid idea that he is bound to come up with. He loves to study and will always read in his spare time, even at parties.
On the inside, he isn't much different other than the fact that he can't help but always hope for a good future. He openly cares for his family and will help them as much as possible.
Hobbies:
Reading
Simon is constantly reading, he will always have a book on hand and would rather be reading at a party than really socializing. He can't stand it when he doesn't have a book around and will promptly find one. He is always up for reading no matter where he is or who he's with.
Riding
Simon loves to ride horses with his brother. The two could ride for hours. Simon loves horses and always takes care of his own horse instead of making the stable hand do it as he has always taken care of his own horse.
Studying
Simon is constantly studying. He has a private tutor that he shares with Guy though Simon is more prompt with their work. Simon loves to learn new information is always doing extra research when he can.
Habits:
Humming/tapping
Simon loves to hum, he may not be very good at it, but he always hums when he's thinking. Along with humming, he is constantly tapping his fingers, feet, and or his writing utensil.
Staring off into space
When Simon isn't reading, and is just sitting around with nothing else to do, he zones out and will not react to anything unless he snaps out of it or he is touched by someone else in order to get his attention.
Oddities:
Panic Attacks
If Simon gets too much going on, he will have a panic attack which consists of him breaking down. He can't help but go into a mode where he won't respond no matter what except to his brother. He can't eat, won't respond, and goes into a state of unconsciousness after the hyperventilating. This only occurs in highly stressful, seemingly hopeless situations such as the time his father died.

Biography
Place Of Origin:
Ostwall
History:
Simon and his twin brother Guy were both born as commoners. They lost their mother in childbirth leaving them with just their father. The family were not extremely poor though they certainly were not rich by any means. The two grew up doing odd jobs for their father and for those around town in order to keep things running at the small store they owned that sold various objects.
The boys were never in trouble and would spend their free time running off ride or draw. When Simon fell in love with a girl when the two were fifteen, Guy told him the girl was no good. The two got into a large fight and Simon refused to acknowledge Guy for nearly a month. It was then that the girl revealed herself to just be using Simon to make an old friend jealous. The old friend nearly killed Simon in a fight the night the girl revealed her true identity. Guy swung in and was able to get Simon out before any real damage was done though Simon doesn't remember it.
Guy and Simon became closer than ever and hardly left each other's side. Even though Simon thought Guy appeared as an arrogant idiot for self esteem, Guy had other reasons. Guy could not accept that he had almost seen his brother die and hadn't done enough, so he swore to make it so his brother never got with another girl. That way, he would never be able to get hurt again, Guy would rather keep the pain than let his brother experience it ever again.
Guy and Simon were out riding horses that belonged to their uncle, the king, when there was a fire at their father's store. Within, their father died as he was trapped. The two came home to nothing and were forced to leave the town for they had lost everything but each other. When they arrived at court, they had a difficult time adjusting and couldn't help being rather secluded until they discovered the library. They both took an interest in learning to read and began reading often as well as their other hobbies.
They both adjusted to court life after that and became rather sociable. Simon was slightly less so as he was more in love with reading than Guy, though that didn't stop him from starting to try to help his uncle. Simon worked to help his uncle when he could in between his studies on diplomacy. He hoped that one day he might become a diplomat and that he and his brother could travel around the world to seek peace, even if Guy wasn't entirely into that kind of stuff.
Happiest Memory:
Riding with his brother out in the fields near the town they lived in.
Saddest Memory:
Their uncle dying and seeing the remains of their old store/home.
