Personality:

The boy is smart, but often too smart for his own good. Curious, inventive, imaginative, easily distracted, gregarious. He thinks he knows everything, and that can get him in trouble. He wants to be the big brave manly hunter type, but he's really a waifish, brainy pretty boy. So he makes up for it with mass destruction and a fascination with battle and big weapons. He hasn't got a lazy bone in his body, but since most of his pursuits are viewed as pointless and a waste of time, he's possibly seen as a bit of an oddball.

Dizzy is trapped between being a cub and a young adult. He wants to be taken seriously, he wants Snapjaw to stop treating him as a child, but he is a child. He's very frustrated about that, and he's testing Snapjaw's limits.

He's always making and remaking things. At age 10, he started remaking some of Snapjaw's crossbows, then he started making even better ones from scratch. He likes trigger-spring traps, too (boo!), puzzles, juggling, and string toys. He's working on a kaleidoscope, and he pesters the shapers in the Holt to help him. He admires the metalshapers and smiths, as well as the tribe's warriors.

Quirky, jaded sense of humor. Has Snapjaw's sense of humor, off the wall and sarcastic. Teen-age Dizzy is always talking back to Snapjaw, always testing the boundaries, but when it counts, he obeys. He thinks Snapjaw is a mean ol' stick-in-the-mud, but a smart stick-in-the-mud. He begs Snapjaw for stories until the elder kicks him out of the treehome ('Go play outside!').

Dizzy hopes to someday be a griffin rider, he loves to go flying, but he's very happy with his wolfbond right now, has a very strong bond with her, she's family and best friend to him. He's a wolfboy, hear him howl.

Likes:
Fire, stargazing, making things, puzzles and challenges, toys, wolves and griffins, frogs and snakes, and when Snapjaw is in a good mood
Dislikes:
Lectures, punishment, chores, being afraid; being a waifish pretty boy; when Snapjaw is depressed.
Fears:
Humans (a mix of fear and fascination), losing Snapjaw, fast waters. Also has a healthy fear of Snapjaw's temper, as well as his disapproval.
Appearance:
Slender, boyish, pretty. Recently got his height, so he's on the skinny side, all legs and elbows. He's a bit of a waif, will fill out more as he gets older, but he'll always be a graceful pretty boy, no matter how much he wishes he were a brawny warrior. 3'9', will grow to 4'1".
Marks/Scars:
None
Hair:
Glossy, inky-black hair, wavy to curly, usually cut above his shoulders.
Eyes:
Sunny amber, large and expressive
New Green
Clothes:
Ratty old shirts with colorful sun symbols that Dizzy stitches and paints on the front. Cutoff breeches and thick, tough climbing boots. Wears hats and caps from time to time. Wears a beaded necklace or bracelet, something he's always taking apart and restringing.
White Cold
Clothes:
In winter, swap cutoffs for long breeches, gloves, jacket, and whatever else is needed, although the boy seems to have an internal furnace, he has never complained about being cold in his life.
Jewelry:
None
History:

Birth name, Sunny, changed when he was 2 because he was always gawking at the stars and flying griffins and then annoucing, 'I'm dizzy.

His parents died in a flashflood when Dizzy was 3, and Snapjaw kept him for some reason.

Discovered his fire magic when he was 10. Dizzy likes to make things spontaneously combust with his magic. It's fun and he thinks it's a studly pursuit. He worries his magical Talent like a sore tooth -- he wants to push the limits and see how far he can go. He boasts that he'll scorch a few humans if they ever come near the Holt. After setting a few small fires that almost got out of hand, he's much more careful.

Bond Beast:

Wolf, Starpath, Age 3

Gender: Female

Dirty white, gray, and black. Young, happy, loves to be with Dizzy and chase things. Growing up, Dizzy had his dead parents' wolves for company, Growler and Hopstone, until he bonded with Starpath.
