- → Body Physique: Ven is tall with a large and muscular physique with broad shoulders
→ Strengths:
- ↳ He is very strong and has keen senses
↳ He can use his shifting abilities effectively and creatively
↳ He is very determined and doesn't give up
→ Weaknesses:
- ↳ He is very stubborn and holds grudges
↳ He is proud and temperamental and can be easily provoked
↳ He is prone to acting before thinking
→ Unique Features:
- While he has human features, Ven is quite big and strongly built, similar to a bear, with his left arm looking like a bear's, complete with claws, and his right a human arm, although it looks almost as muscular.
→ Personality:
- Ven can be quite rough, being brash, blunt and temperamental. He is quite straightforward and has no problems voicing his opinions, no matter how harsh, and dislikes and hates beating around the bush and outright lying and manipulation. While he is cold and closed-off around people he doesn't know or dislikes, he has no problems talking to and being open around his friends, disliking being left alone. Ven's pride and temper often gets the better of him as he gets easily provoked (usually if he or any of his friends are insulted), which results in him often getting into brawls that left him the victor more often than not. Because of all this, Ven can appear to be more brawn than brain, which certainly isn't true; Ven is very creative and can analyse a situation and figure out how to use his shifting ability to the greatest effect, and he can be quite vicious when he needs to be. He has s strong moral compass that he follows without fail and he also has a soft spot for children, having had a younger sister, and he’s surprisingly understanding and patient with his students despite normally being quite impatient.

- ↳ Ven was born to a couple of farmers in one of the various villages within the kingdom of Trendel. His parents were poor, and while they tried their hardest, like most of their village, they still struggled to make ends meet and often skipped meals in favour of feeding their children. From a young age, Ven helped around the farm, and being a bear shifter like his father, he was taught how to use his talents effectively for work.
However, one year, when Ven was eight, there was a terrible drought that destroyed the harvest and caused a famine that affected the entire region and leading to the deaths of many people, including Ven's parents and younger sister. Starving and grieving, Ven was found by his aunt and taken in by his aunt, his father's sister, who from then on raised him. She wasn't much better off than Ven's parents, but being a widow with no children, the two had enough to live off of.
Unlike his parents, Ven's aunt was bitter and disillusioned with the world, and having lost her own children and husband due to an illness, and she harboured a deep resentment for Valor and rich people, in part because she believed, like most people, that their greed did indeed sabotage Trendel a long time ago leading to the current state of affairs, and partly because in their desperation, she and her husband saved money to travel there in hopes that they could better treat their sick children, only to be rebuffed and mistreated. She complained about them often to Ven, who was all too willing to agree and believe her because of his own losses.
Like her brother, Ven's aunt was also a bear shifter and she tried to help him control his power, but as he grew older, it became obvious that Ven was talented at using his raiment, which he used to help around the village whenever he could. Believing that his talent shouldn't be wasted, his aunt convinced Ven to focus on his studies to hone his abilities, and eventually, the two of them saved enough money to send Ven to the capital to be apprenticed under a good tutor. Ven spent years under this tutor, who was rather harsh but an effective teacher who helped improve Ven's skill in all sorts of areas, but especially in shifting. Soon, Ven managed to catch the attention of the royal family and was offered a position as a Knight of Trendel, which he gladly accepted, vowing to serve his kingdom to the best of his abilities. Unfortunately, Ven's appointment wasn't well-received by everyone, mostly because of is background and behaviour, and there were many people who believed that he was unworthy of it, but after getting into a fight with Ven, they were soon convinced. Like many of his peers, Ven regarded the negotiations with Valor with suspicion and waited for what he believed to be their inevitable betrayal and was greatly surprised when they were successful and Trendel and Valor were united. Forced to let go of his long-held grudge against his new countrymen but he had trouble adjusting at first, which was why he decided to leave his post and teach at the new Grand Academy of Eoana. He hoped that dealing with and teaching students from all over the new kingdom would help him understand and appreciate the new peace and found to his great surprise that he truly enjoyed teaching, although he also enjoyed complaining about ‘his brats’.
