BAEGO
It is not necessary to be educated to be intelligent.
It is not necessary to be educated to be intelligent.
Full name: Baego Thatchrite
Social rank: Commoner
Job or societal position: Pick-pocket, street rat
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Baego is tall for his age, already being just shy of 5 feet tall. His straw-coloured hair is naturally curly and he has green eyes.
Personality: Baego is a highly intelligent young lad, despite never having received any proper education. He prides himself on being smarter than others his age. He has a great love of the theatre as he and the other street children used to go and watch the plays from their precarious positions in the rafters. He admires the artistry of the playwrights and fancies himself quite the wordsmith. Baego is not a timid lad, but neither is he reckless. He has a kind soul and makes friends easily due to his easy manner, cheeky demeanour and ability to charm most.
History: Though there is great wealth and prosperity in the southern Great City, there is also poverty - it just goes unseen. Baego knows little of his parents other than his mother died in childbirth and his father was a thatcher who took a fatal fall off a roof he was working on when Baego was very young. Having no other family, he grew up as one of many children who had no homes and were forced to live on the streets. Being too scrawny to do any manual labour, Baego could get little work to earn coin to buy himself food and therefore resorted to pick-pocketing people. Which is incidentally how he met Alethea.
Alethea is the first adult to take a genuine interest in him and since the day she approached him to offer him advise on how not to get caught, he has clung to her. When she told him she would be leaving the south, he was distraught as apart from his father, who he only has a few hazy memories of, no one had ever cared about his well being. Not wanting to loose Alethea, he joined her on her journey north.
Dreams and fears: Baego dreams of one day writing great plays that will out-live him for many generations. However, first he needs to master how to read and write. He is making progress, but each mistake he makes frustrates him greatly. Additionally, he fears the day when Alethea will leave him.
