Name: Gareth Rowan
Age: 28
Personality:
A bit on the rough side, not the most social. Has a tendency to not become attached to others, and won't let them into how he feels, and he rarely shows his emotions. Although he is cold, he does have a compassionate side that is hidden most of the time, but it sometimes can be seen on rare occasions.
Looks:
Unruly dirty blond hair about medium length, a fairly muscular build, and strong dark facial features. Large scars can be found on his back.
Background:
Gareth grew up in a house of royalty, with his father being the Earl of (insert place name here) along with his brother Gavin. Their childhood was far from easy with the trials their father had set upon them, everyday they would train not only their minds but their body. Over the many years of mistreatment it has formed Gareth and Gavin into cold personalities, with power being their only goal. Only now when the Earl lay dying he has insisted on two of them to marry before they may ever take his place. Both brothers are to be arranged in marriage with suitable mates.
Extra:
Extremely competitive with his brother, he is the younger of the two.
Has never had female presence in his life (no mother, sisters etc.)
Let me know if that sounds good :)

In regards to the royalty thing:
If he is royalty: He would be part of a noble family with him shortly to be taking the place of his father who is dying. (Their relationship isn't a good one) He would also have a brother fighting for the same place, and his father will need to choose between the two.
If he isn't: Part of a family that has put all their men towards the military efforts. Relationship w/ father/brother is the same. This would mean he'd be more of a military general or knight of some sort.
Let me know what fits your ideas better and I'll write my background :)

Gareth reluctantly approached the stone house where his soon to be bride resided. His horse slowly moved through the hedges of the courtyard, the family appeared wealthy enough for her to be worthy of his hand in marriage, but that didn't make Gareth look forward to this meeting.
He was sent by his Father Earl of Lyonnesse to make an overture, his brother Gavin set with the same task had already found a suitable bride. Gareth had been running out of choices and after much debate gave into his Father's request to pursue the daughter of the family Fae.
Truth be told he didn't even know the girls name, or age, he hoped she wasn't a young child as many men liked to marry the young. For Gareth it disgusted him how a man could love a child. But no matter what her age, looks, or manner he would be asking her father for her hand in marriage this day.
Gareth dismounted letting himself feel the full breadth of the morning air, he looked to the entrance awaiting the appearance of the Fae family to greet him.

Tatiana watched from the only window upstairs. She racked her long slender fingers through her long mess of brown curls. Who was this man who came calling on their home? She leaned against the the window plane and hummed a soft tune.
The front door opened to reveal a short fat man with gray hair. "Ah...Your Royal highness! What do we owe the honor?" He bowed and glanced up at the young man. A woman pushed aside the man. She was slim and taller than him with a long dark blue gown. Her face was tight with anger.
"Y-Your highness!" She turned to her husband and slapped him on the shoulder. "What did you do now Jack!?!"
"Hey Tati, someone is downstairs! Guess who it is?" Her youngest half brother announced as he came into her room. "The king, himself." She muttered, uninterested. He chuckled. "Your so close! It's the Prince!" She turned to look down at him. "So it is..."

Gaerth put on his best fake smile to impress the man before him, he seemed easy to charm, shortly after his greeting a tall and slender women greeted him in a surprised manner. He had not sent a letter before hand, there wasn't enough time for that, not when his brother already had a bride to be.
He gave them a slight bow as a greeting, not really reacting to their entertaining ramblings. "Your daughter, sir," Gareth said as gently as he could, "I've come to ask for her hand in marriage."

The woman's mouth dropped. "What!?" She grabbed on to her husband's jacket. "My Tatiana's hand? This is indeed surprising. Are you sure you have the right house?"
Tatiana came downstairs, her pale pink gown trailing behind her. Her eyes seemed glazed over and bored. She appeared in the doorway just in time to hear her father. "He must have the right house or he wouldn't be here, now would he father?" She said, startling her parents. "T-This is Tatiana..." Jack turned to the prince. "We...I would be honored for you to marry my daughter."

Normally if a man were to win over the man of the house he would laugh at their bantering, but Gareth wasn't looking forward to this engagement so a half smile was all he could muster. He caught a glimpse of the daughter Tatiana, who by Gareth's standards wasn't ugly, but didn't do anything to him. His brother Gavin had been parading his fiance around the kingdom, and she was known for her beauty, but this girl, she would have to prove herself otherwise, as he figured she wouldn't compete.
"My lady," Gareth said approaching Tatiana, taking her hand he bowed before her, afterwards he turned back to her father, "I wish to have your blessing sir."

Tatiana looked at him, frowning. "Which hand do you want?" She held both her hands up and tilted her head. Of course she knew what he meant but wasn't sure if she was so willing. Her father grabbed her wrist and gave her a look. "You have our blessing." The woman growled and turned, going inside.
Tatiana rolled her eyes, leaning against the doorway. "And what if I don't want to go?" Her father shook his head. "As if you have a chose! Go pack! You should be honored!" She glanced at Gareth. "I'll play along for now." She muttered and left to do as her father said. Tatiana entered her room and stared blankly at it. "Marriage huh...Who would have thought. He must be needy." She chuckled and started to get her things together.

Gareth was taken aback by her reluctancy to be married to him, all the women in the kingdom would give anything to be next to a man of his stature. The situation baffled him, and he cursed his father for making this his fate, a woman who couldn't even obey her own father. He watched her move inside her home in preparation for travel, it wouldn't be long before his fellow men would be along to help with her items, they would go on ahead with her things while he and his fiance followed.
"She's lovely," he said bluntly, this wasn't the truth, but her father must not know that, "My men shall be here shortly, they will tend to her things." Gareth awaited to be invited inside where he would wait for the girl to prepare for leave.

"Ah..thank you. She takes after her mother, rest her soul. Please come inside." Jack stood aside and allowed him to enter. The house seemed larger outside then it really was. "Please forgive her for her rudeness. She is a free soul." He father bowed.
It wasn't hard for Tatiana to pack, she had very little and what did have was mostly her mother's. Her brothers came running inside the room. "Tati! Your leaving? Your getting married to a royal?" The older older of the two asked. She nodded and tied up her hair into a neat bun. "I suppose I am. Now you two shall get along while I m away." She lifted her single trunk and hauled it downstairs.
Jack turned seeing Tatiana. "Let me take that Tati." She nodded, keeping her head held high. She moved with grace, hips swaying as she vanished into the kitchen. "I should warn you, your highness. She is rather thick headed but she is very kind. She doesn't like her emotions shown." He said with a nod.

Gareth nodded silently listening to Jack, he walked into their home, it was humble but there was no mistake they had a fair sum of money, although Gareth couldn't speak much for seeing the homes of the poor.
Gareth didn't want to forgive her rudeness, and I'm sure she didn't feel any different towards him, but he was insulted, he was a prince after all, she should show him some respect, it was customary.
It wasn't long before he saw Tatiana drag her trunk down the stairs, was that all she had? He felt some pity towards a woman who didn't have many belongings, but that would change for her, especially with the clothing she already wore, she would need to dress proper to impress his father. Gareth fell in suite with her father but he lifted the trunk from Jack, "Allow me." It was only proper to do so, he set the trunk neatly at the door where his men arrived swiftly to retrieve the trunk.
"It is good for a woman to be strong in this circumstance, the kingdom needs a strong woman." Gareth didn't believe that in the slightest but its what her father would want to hear, in Gareth's mind he wanted an obedient wife if he must have one, and she must not challenge him.

Jack nodded. "Well she is the strongest." Tatiana came back from the kitchen. "Is it time to leave? I would rather leave before dark." She said, her features emotionless. Jack pulled her into a quick hug. "Goodbye my sweet girl. You remember us, eh?" She nodded, uninterested by her father's goodbye. She pulled away strolling outside.
She glanced over her shoulder at him and flashed a smile. She turned, glancing at the castle's distant view. Would that place really be home? Or would it be a prison? She sighed softly and pulled her silver wool cloak closer to her slim body.

With Tatiana's words Gareth stepped outside to catch some air while she bid her parents farewell. He wasn't one to care to watch such an act, he was never this close with his father or brother for that matter. A second horse, of nearly pure white stood beside his chocolate brown steed awaiting the lady to ride her. If there was one thing Gareth cared for in his life it was his steed, he took very good care of it.
Once Tatiana had come outside to meet him he held out his hand to her prepared to help her onto her new horse. "Let us make our leave." he said as politely as possible.

Tatiana couldn't believe the sight of the horses. They were most perfect animals she had seen. She moved to the white horse's side and gently stroked the side of her neck. "They are beautiful!" She said softly. She moved herself on top the horse with grace and ease. She had ridden before with her brothers.
She looked down at him, grinning, her eyes shining with passion. "Are you ready? I do not know the way." She said, petting the horse while she waited. As a child she had always chose to act like boy, ready to get dirty and rough house. Now all she wanted to do was explore her limits. She looked forward, her smile fading. That would have to change now, she would have to become the lady she never wanted to be.
She held onto the necklace around her neck, gently rubbing her thumb over the smooth silver. This was a girl's dream, to marry a prince and live happily ever after, but for her, she would rather be free like the wild horses that lived in the fields.
"I am the last choice?" She asked, looking over at him, her face emotionless once again. "I bet I am...I'll to make his life a living hell." She thought.

It took a second for Gareth to notice the girl had placed herself atop the horse with ease. Couldn't his father pick a lady?-- this would have made his life easier, but this woman she challenged his authority.
"North." He said looking to her, she was his only choice according to his father but he wouldn't tell her that, instead he left her behind as he took off ahead of her, he would push her harder if she wanted to challenge him.

She smirked, gently kicking the side of the horse, making the horse go. She glanced back at the prince, her mind wondering. What was her new home like? Would she be alone, able to explore where and what she wanted. She sighed, trying her best not to look back at her father.
It was best to leave the past where it stood. She could make this work. It would give the chance to be alone and do what she wanted. But first she had to make sure this man would not try to control her. Her eyes looked up at the sky. But she knew she could do it.

Little words were spoken between them through the ride, which Gareth liked, he enjoyed nothing better than a ride through the country side in solace. He almost forgotten of the woman riding behind him all the way. It was now late afternoon and he could feel that his steed was growing tired and it was due for a rest, surely the woman needed rest too.
Reluctantly he turned his horse around to ride beside the lady, "We will rest up there, near the trees and the stream." Without another moment to lose he sped ahead of her in pursuit of reaching the resting place first. Once there here dismounted waiting for her to follow and this time he knew better than to offer her his hand for help.

She watched him and raced forward, trying not to get too far behind. Once there she slid off the horse with ease and gently stroked it's mane. Her eyes darted around. She gracefully walked over to the stream.
She looked down at it, seeing her refection. She sighed, moving her curly hair back behind her ears. "I must been as hideous as the ground we walk on." She shook the thoughts from her head and bent down, dipping her fingers into the chilled water.

Gareth watched as Tatiana approached and dismounted before him, as he though she needed no help. He did find it intriguing that she cared and knew more about horses than most women, especially when his meant so much to him. The horse he had given her was a good fit, he was young and feisty just like she seemed to be.
His eyes followed her to the stream where she bent down peering into the water, this was the first time he really looked at her, something about the setting made her look less out of place, and even more pleasant. But to Gareth, no matter how fair this woman was, he didn't want to be married, and he didn't want a disobedient wife.
The air was hot and thick making him reach into his satchel to retrieve some water, he also noted a piece of bread which he snatched quickly. He was about to eat it himself when he thought of her, perhaps if he wanted respect he'd have to give it to her as well. Gareth walked to her and knelt down beside her, "For you." he said holding the bread in his hand.

She lazily looked up at him and stood, brushing off her dress. She glanced at the bread and shook her head, all of a sudden feeling tired. She walked back to the horse and leaned her head against his throat. She knew she must have come off too cold but this was becoming too much. It was as if it had just hit her she was leaving her home behind.
She climbed back on the horse and sat, staring off ahead of them. It would be so easy to turn the horse and run far away. She closed her eyes. She wasn't brave enough. Her father would be so ashamed of her. She couldn't do that. She couldn't cause anymore sadness.
