 * Story:**

Lord's son of Arbordale, Havenland. Jenica's betrothed. Considered to be a 'new world' gentleman, he is of mixed blood. While his father's side came from Kadmus, his mother's is from Sylvernas, and it is said that Arbordale was her family's inheritence. Carter's father made a bargain with Kereneth Ajatarra, an infamous draconic glassblower. Carter was to marry Kerenth's daughter, Jenica. She decided that because she didn't know Carter, she would not marry him. So, she ran away, and he has been pursuing her since. He is determined to show Jen that he is not like others, and there may perhaps be love between them.

Should Jen deny him for much longer, the lands of Arbordale will go to Carter's greedy uncle, Chretien. Carter has until his 21st birthday to marry his betrothed, which only leaves him with one more year.



6' tall, walnut brown hair, and cool green eyes. He is courteous, well-dressed, and knowledgeable.
