Appearance:
Altor is a little bit on the small side for a boy of six, but not to a point where there's a question of health. He's small boned and appears fragile, but that doesn't prevent him from being a boy! He is much shorter than his "not-twin" brother, standing at 3'2".
Unlike his brother, he does not have any freckles, but he does have a small birth mark on his right cheek that is fading as he grows. And he is excited about his first lost tooth, though it was a front tooth and he whistles a bit when he says certain words!
He has his father's blonde hair, but his mother's green eyes. His blonde hair is allowed to have just a little bit of length, but mainly because he can get rather stubborn when his mother tries to cut his hair. Its not too long, but definitely not in the miniature dragon rider style that most boys his age wear.
Like his brother, and many of the other children their age, most of his clothing is hand me downs, though he occassionally gets something new. Not because his mother loves him more than her foster son, but because he grows more slowly and can wear his clothing longer.
Personality:
Altor tends to be studious and curious. He would frequently stay longer for lessons, asking their instructors questions if Vittor wasn't pulling him away to go do something else, though sometimes he'll ask a question that will pique his brother's own inquisitiveness so that he wins. Being more studious, he often makes a point to remind his brother of what he's forgotten.
Unlike his people-person "not-twin," Altor is a bit shy, though it does not take much needling from his brother to do stuff with him and their group, and in fact, he's as popular in their group of friends as his more gregarious brother - just in a different way.
Like Vittor, Altor can be clingy, though fewer people make it into his list of cling worthy. He also tends to be a little more calm and realistic than his brother, though he's still a six turn-old child, so realism is not something adults would recognize in him.
Altor enjoys rough housing and exploring, but he most loves to cuddle with Vittor or his mother or one of the other few he considers cling-worthy and listen to a great story.
History: Born to two parents who had no pretense of love, his mother immediately fell in love with her second child and second son. He was babied even after he was weaned and toddling.
When he was two, a boy was fostered to his mother who looked similar to him and was about the same age as him (almost exactly!). It wasn't long before the babied young boy started following the other around closely. While he showed every sign of being an adoring shadow, when his mother was around, things were very different. Because Vittor tended to get in trouble a lot, he got attention and Altor got less. And so Alyne feared that he hated the other boy, as he often threw things or tried to get Vittor in trouble or just pouted and avoided him when she was there, some times pitching a fit if Mommy was cuddling Vittor.
It wasn't long until Mommy had a new man, and most of her cuddling was going to him. The man tried to be nice to him and Vittor, but he kept either of them from getting cuddled. Frequently he would start throwing a fit and then notice that Vittor was. Often with a pout or something thrown he'd end his own and move over to cuddle Vittor.
The man could not deal with the two screaming children, and soon life was good, with Mommy and Vittor. Until one day when Mommy brought home a little girl, a little sister, who took all of his mother's attention, leaving the two to themselves. Though it did take a long time to warm up to the little sister - especially as she didn't do anything but take all mommy's cuddling, sleep, and cry. However, this just brought the two boys closer, making them the "not-twins." in fact.
When the two started attending creche classes, it became clear that neither one was really less of a handful than the other. While Vittor would be climbing over things and making messes, Altor would be bugging their teachers with questions, and while he would frequently press for why, he sometimes would ask a series of unrelated questions - to anyone but himself anyway - or just press for more answers. He also tended to follow his brother in his escapades, though often warning Vittor to be careful.
By the time the boys were five years old, they had learned how to work together. Altor was good at distracting adults, letting Vittor do whatever he needed to do. One evening, he had seen his brother eyeing the cookies and smiled. He started throwing questions at Mommy - and they were question he truly wondered about. However, when he heard a crash, he found that he no longer cared about the questions. He had run to his brother's side, and not left it until he was better - much to the healer's amusment and annoyance!
Their mother had had another child, and Altor had come to love the first little sister, so he was much more open to a second. However, the newest baby sister did not survive the first sickness that struck the residents of Telgar Weyr. That had been Altor's first experience with death, and he did not like it. Everyone was sad and he soon learned that baby Saryne was not coming back.
All of Alyne's children were hit pretty hard by the first sickness which came through. While there had been concern about all of them, only the baby succumbed to it.
Unfortunately, the relatively young children were still recovering from the toll the first illness had taken, and both Altor and Vittor contracted the second illness. Fortunately, this time both only had mild cases, and were soon recovered and feeling restless under the quarantine.
