Appearance.
Physique. Futiel is small, short and thin for his age, seeming to others to be around age 3, despite his brother’s efforts to keep food in his belly. He is very well-fed in fact, but in his high levels of activity and curiosity, not to mention speedy metabolism, burns off any excess almost as soon as it becomes available.
Hair. Despite his courageous efforts to keep his brother’s hair short, Kalwoel has learned that Futiel’s golden ringlets will continue to flip every which way no matter the length. Since keeping it at an even ½” all around seems unfair, Futiel was left with a short, very cute style reminiscent of a pixie.
Face. Futiel’s big, beautifully bright eyes are grey-green in color, shaped similarly to their mother’s.
Other Features. Unlike his brother, Futiel has a rather light complexion, most likely in part because he is sheltered more readily from the sun, even while outside.
Personality: Summarized.
Futiel is at an age where the words “boy” and “girl” are kind of alien in nature. Most of the boys and girls in his classes are friends with each other and play with the same toys. Their voices are at the same pitch, and many wear the same clothes. With all of this, the little boy doesn’t think twice about snuggling up to his brother or a trusted teacher, giving someone a hug, or crying poignantly. These actions are all so natural, and the resulting attentions, displays of love and appreciation, are desperately needed. Futiel is more social than his brother, and seems to consider everyone he encounters a friend, because in his very short life he has known no reason to distrust anyone.
It has been theorized that his desire to make adults proud of him is not so much a need to prove himself as means to attention.
Personality: Positive.
Gentle and affectionate. This behavior is certainly something he learned from his elder brother, who has always been kind and gentle with him. Now that he is older Futiel employs the same with others: his foster mother, his peers, and his girlfriend Silvie.
Chivalrous. He seems to think everyone needs saving, and that he is the right knight for the job. It is hard to say if he does this for the attention or if he is mature enough to empathize with the perceived victim.
Studious. More than carefully following his school studies, Futiel watches everything his brother does as a Healer, when he is allowed to tag along. He has helped make numbweed and on the first try he was ever so proud of himself. It is impossible to say for sure that Futiel will be a Healer someday, but he certainly is off to a good start, learning to learn hands-on.
Personality: Negative.
Sensitive. A bit of a crybaby. He takes it seriously and personally if someone harms someone he knows. If that someone starts crying, he will cry too. Then later he will tell his brother about it and cry again. He does not understand meanness and it really hurts him to witness or be the victim of it.
Needy. He will snuggle up or hug or lean against people. When he cannot do those things he will take hold of an article of clothing. It's as if he physically needs that sense of touch. Unfortunately it can become rather annoying if not distressing if he simply will not let go.
Naive. Like his sensitivity, he is also naive. Futiel assumes everyone will only do nice things for him. They will be nice, kind, gentle, and the like with him and those he knows. When he witnesses the bad he becomes inconsolable. Then he pays them back twofold, thinking that he's doing the right thing.
History: Family.
F'wol of Brown Hinaniath, Father.
Kaeninya, Journeywoman Harper, Mother.
Kalwoel, elder brother.
Silvie, weyrbrat, 3, significant other.

History: A Narrative.
Futiel has little knowledge of his real parents, who seem more like kind strangers to him. He only comprehends that Watania and Kalwoel are his caretakers in the lower caverns, and that his brother’s firelizards are his closest friends. That is, except for Silvina, an adorable little girl about his age whom he calls his girlfriend. (She calls him her boyfriend too. It's adorable.)
When his studies are complete for the day he steals off (with permission) to the Infirmary where his brother can be found. Futiel stays out of the way as best he can and just watches. Sometimes he gets lucky and is asked to help out. Get some tool or hot water or help make the numbweed. He is really learning his way around the Infirmary and how to be helpful even when he does not know what to do. He idolizes his brother Kalwoel, which is probably why he's tried so hard to do his best. So it is difficult to say what he will actually want to do with his life, not just what is expected of him.
