Usually, he gets along with most elves that he meets and when he finds one he has a hard time getting along with, he tends to stay away from them or just pretend they don't exist. However, if they were to fall into harm's way, he would do what he could to protect them. Sees Self As: A Rememberer History: Born to Deershot and Barkburner out of recognition. The two elves had been together for over a century before he was conceived. He had a sister who was two decades older then he was, and she looked out for him when his parents were out on their get away hunts. He was taught from an early age how to hunt and track animals of various sizes and how to cure the meat and cache it for the long winters ahead. When he was one hundred fifty-three, he and his family unit went on an extended hunt. When they were setting up camp they were ambushed by a group of humans. His father told him to take his sister and run, but he refused until a human's arrow landed in Whitefrost's chest. Vaststar grabbed her, tossed her onto Charge's back, and ran back to the Holt. He never saw his parents again, though having felt his father's spirit leave, knew he was dead. However, he never felt the death of his mother. His sister died shortly after reaching the Holt. When he was three hundred forty-nine he began to here jumbled sendings in his head. Having no reason to be there any longer, he packed up his things and readied to leave. Another tribemate, Lyre also heard the same call and went with him. They met up with some fellow travllers after a turn of traveling and have roamed with them since.
