Physical Description: Sangelse is a scraggy pole whose willowy appearance suggests he could be blown over by even the mildest of breezes. That isn’t true of course, as he has lean muscle in his arms and legs, allowing him to accomplish physical tasks with about as much difficulty as the average person. Sangelse prefers darker clothes (as they hide dirt better) and will wear anything and everything that is comfortable. He’s not overly picky on fashion so long as he looks neat. Thankfully he’s about done growing and sits at a comfortable mid-height, just a little over six feet tall, giving him ample options from the Weyr’s storerooms.
His jet-black hair is long, down to his hips when loose, and always worn in a high ponytail. It’s not uncommon to see him use some brightly colored ribbon to tie it off in a nice bow. What bangs he doesn’t tie back frame a heart-shaped face, and hide a mole that sits over his right eyebrow. Sangelse considers himself handsome, despite slightly rabbit-like front teeth and a bit of a snaggletooth that doesn’t distract from how adorable and heart-melting his smiles tend to be—he smiles often, and with his entire face, leading to him already having laugh lines. He has dark brown eyes.
Personality: It’s okay if you take Sangelse for a fool, really. It’s what he would want you to do, because he would rather be accepted as foolish than rejected outright. He’s not afraid to take the blame for things he didn’t do if it helps someone else out, and he’s not really above stepping into situations that clearly are uncomfortable for others. It’s not that his skin is ridiculously thick, or his poker-face is strong, but more like he wants to be liked and appreciated by others. There’s a base greed and an internal motive to his smiles and friendliness, as Sangelse knows what it's like to be openly hated for reasons far out of his control. That quiet knowledge and fear has him going out of his way to make people laugh, to make them look at him, and though he smiles bright and wide and often it’s hard to tell where the actual smile begins and the fake one ends. Of course, Sangelse isn’t entirely selfish, as he does know how to truly smile, and he does have real friends, or at least those he knows he can count on. There will always be a dread in the back of his mind, however, that one day his mask might slip and he’ll be laid bare in front of everyone for who he is; the idea that the person he really has become might not be enough will haunt him.
From a young age, Sangelse has had problems remembering what he’s said and done to others… but not what they’ve done to him. Offhand comments in the past that have offended others are forgotten within the day; names and faces of those who he’s upset (and whose attention he doesn’t care for) are erased entirely from memory. Kindness he’s shown or given also falls into this selective memory loss, so it’s not at all uncommon to approach Sangelse and find him completely unaware of charity he’s done in the past. Even reminding him will have him adamantly dismiss the notion, and pressing further on it will cause Sangelse to become flustered and even slightly hostile—if he says he doesn’t remember, it’s better to just drop the subject and move on. Conversely, folks don’t need to worry about him forgetting even the most minor slight against him or those he loves. Sangelse can carry a grudge to terrifying levels, and his revenge might not always be subtle. He can easily be made to feel awful if his forgetfulness brings any sort of harm or emotional distress to those he values, and subtle jabs over just how awful his ability to retain things will always leave him bruised and remorseful.
Sangelse is also talented and is fully aware of just how talented he is. He’s not ashamed of his skills, or how things seem to come to him more naturally than others, and he’s also not above making sure his peers (and adults) know exactly what he is capable of. To say he is arrogant and cocky would be a massive understatement as he eagerly shows off and flaunts his talents whenever the chance arises though in the same breath he is more than willing to acknowledge the works of others. People who are more skilled than him are heaped with praise, provided he actually likes them; those who are talented but generally disliked are often targets of Sangelse attempting to out do them. The reasoning behind his open arrogance falls again into his need to be accepted, his need to be liked for what he can do and not thing he hasn’t done. It’s also not in his nature to act modest as Sangelse knows that pressed or forced modesty can be just as toxic to others; no one can be happy when someone truly talented belittles their own skills in an effort to boost a stranger's self-esteem. Sangelse also does practice and, while a lot of his ability comes from natural luck, he was also openly blessed with time and opportunity in his youth.
Sadly, he's rather shameless. Men and women of all ages are happily flirted with, and things like modesty are generally overlooked. Much of this has to do with his desire to be a mood-maker and enjoy the company of others, but he also tends to relish in the reactions (both good and bad) that come of his childish antics. Flustering the more straight-laced among the crowds is a personal favorite, as is occasionally courting the ire of those in power such as teachers or leaders. If it's not through words it's through pranks that he accomplishes his tasks, all the while laughing merrily.

History: Sangelse’s parents died when he was young, leaving him to be taken in by his father’s best friend. Raised in a minor cothold among the couple’s two children, Sangelse grew up precocious and mischievous. He adored his ‘older sister’ and ‘younger brother’ with unabashed affections, lavishing as much attention upon them as he could while himself weathering the disfavor of his foster mother. She was a kind but harsh woman, clearly favoring her own children and despising the very idea of Sangelse; the rumors that he was perhaps an illegitimate son of her husband did nothing to temper that anger. He was not, of course, though that cloud of suspicion would haunt him through his early childhood into his more formative Turns.
Granted ample opportunities due to the minor influence and wealth afforded to him by his foster family, Sangelse flourished. He proved bright, able, and more than willing to do whatever it took to ensure the happiness of his family and friends; occasionally the price for his actions was too high and he often wrote balances his body could not pay, but such was the cost of growing up and living. Childhood adventures and misdeeds were laughed off and turned to cherished memories, while painful lessons and treatments turned to scars hidden beneath dark clothing and forced smiles.
The Turns continued to pass relatively uneventfully for Sangelse, as he wasn’t an heir or anyone worth fussing over. There was no need for him to learn a craft, or learn anything about responsibilities, and so he entered his later teens with no real goal in mind. The return of Thread didn’t change that notion at all, even as it took the lives of his foster parents, and Sangelse’s promise to become a support his brother only grew stronger.
Other: despite his shameless nature, he's a virgin. shun him
