Name: Ferdinand

Age: 3 years

Gender: male

Sexuality: …..I’m a spider. O.o

Profession: Protector of Ianthine the Beautiful and Wise, Savior and Protector of the Vertically Challenged, Guardian of the Great Garden of Light

Race/Species: Spider

Appearance: Of all the spiders, Ferdinand in the most fearsome, from the battle helmet he wears to the fearsome four round eyes that allow him to see enemies from any angle to the eight legs that allow him speed and maneuverability even in the roughest terrain. The tiny hairs covering his body allows him to sense any threat before it strikes, while the dappled gray-black coloring makes him invisible in the shadows. Ferdinand strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies with his savage battle cry as he swings into battle  from his mighty butt vine.

Ferdinand…Ferd… Stop laughing.  He’s not short. 3 inches tall, including the– no no, that’s not a water drop, that’s a battle helmet. As I said, he’s not short, he’s vertically challenged, and will fight to the death for insinuating he is anything but the fiercest of warriors.

Personality: Ferdinand lacks not, if you ask him. One will be hard pressed to find a warrior so willing to fight, so willing to defend, so willing to battle unto the bitter end, so willing to– was that a fly? My apologies. He knows he can win against any foe brave enough, or stupid enough, to duel against him, and none are willing to defend the honor of the Great and Wise Ianthine as he.

Even if he were to fall in battle, it will be after such a fight that ballads of his bravery and strength will be sung for generations to come. Statues will be erected in his honor, the mightiest fortresses will be named after him

Strengths/Abilities:
Loyal - Once Ferdinand finds you worthy, none shall ever break his bond of loyalty and fealty.

Brave - It takes great courage to never back down from a fight, to fight to the bitter end, no matter the personal cost.

Weaknesses:
Three Inches Tall  - While he will never admit to such a thing as a weakness, he is…well…he’s no giant.


History: While Ianthine was tending her garden one day and was accosted by a bug threatening to sting her, out of nowhere Ferdinand swung in on his mighty butt vine, to defend her honor. Ferdinand fought back the mighty foe, saving the Protector of the Great Garden and pledged his fealty to her on the spot.

When asked why she deserved such an honor as Ferdinand to be her personal guardian, he sighed telling the tale of the time he found himself forsaken after a battle, clinging to life itself as she came closer and closer, only to step around him, careful of his presence in such a weakened state, else surely he would have hurt her foot. From that point on he swore to himself to repay the act one day, if only to swear himself to her protection.
