Personality:
{Outwardly: Weak, Overprotective, Loving (towards his family), Curious}
{Inwardly: Caring, Loving (towards his family), Curious, Dreamer, Guilty}
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. He also likes to be caring towards other people who are nice or show kindness to anyone else, even if they are from an enemy country or have said some rude things to Simon, however, if any insults towards Guy are thrown about, then the individual who declared them will wish they had never needed assistance. Though it was not Simon's fault, he feels the guilt of the twins' father's death weighing on his shoulders. He believes anything bad that happens to those he truly cares for could have been prevented if only he had paid more attention to it.
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. These panic attacks didn't start coming until after his father died however.

Biography
Place Of Origin:
Ostwall
History:
Simon and his twin brother Guy were born in an estate on one of Ostwall's peninsula. Simon and Guy grew up without their mother as she died in childbirth. Their father was often not around them as he worked a lot leaving the boys to grow very close to each other. The two grew up running around the estate and helping around the house for lack of wanting to do anything else. The boys fell in love with horse back riding and would skip lessons with their tutor in order to be out riding.
Guy and Simon were out visiting a nearby town when Simon saw a girl and fell for her the instant he saw her. Simon would disappear for hours on end while Guy was in town waiting for his brother to show up. The girl Simon was with actually was just using him to try and get to Guy who had had a habit of gambling and was believed to be a hustler.
Simon was jumped by the girl's friends and the Simon was nearly killed when Guy came in and helped his brother out with some friends. When Guy got his brother home and Simon was able to respond to people, he was not able to recall what had happened after getting beaten up. Guy took on a persona in order to try and keep Simon away from girls by taking all of them for himself. Guy solemnly trusts any girls and usually hates any that interact with Simon while Simon hates every girl that swoons over Guy for Simon knows it's only for Guy's looks.
The two grew close again and were out riding one day when they saw smoke in the distance. The rode towards it, fearing for they knew where they were heading. As they emerged over a valley, they saw their estate in flames taller than they'd ever seen before. They ran forward to help resulting in Guy's leg getting burned and Simon having to pull him out. Few people made it out of the fire, not including the twins' father, Pristas leaving them orphaned. The two rode to their uncle's household in order to find some family for he was all they knew of.
AS they arrived, they developed a loving memory of their uncle as he provided the boys with a life that was as easy as possible with both parents gone. The two were able to store away to pain of loss and indulge themselves in studies upon discovering their love of reading. Guy took up a variety of art skills and was very good at it while Simon continued to study in depth, hoping to assist their cousin Ronan rule the country one day by being an adviser or diplomat. Simon works hard to be able to be close to his brother's level with a sword in order to give him "a proper sparring partner that would know his every move and act almost as a mirror," Simon once claimed.
Happiest Memory:
Riding with his brother out in the fields near the estate they lived on.
Saddest Memory:
Their father dying and seeing the remains of their home. Also the fact that the cause of the fire was never identified.
