Turn away 'cause I need you more
Personality>> Forrest is a goofball – the type of class clown who, instead of disrupting class, will joke and laugh with his teacher. It’s rare to see him without a smile, and his smile tends to be contagious. He has a way with people in that he can bring a completely disjointed group of individuals together without them realizing it, without him even trying. Sometimes, he words things and describes things in an unusual way, but one that makes the listener want to hear more from him. He’s also an accomplished practical joker.
His sensitive side, though seldom seen, does exist, and often comes out when he takes time to care for his old mare, Autumn. He is incredibly empathetic, and in many ways his jokester personality is rooted in his need to ease others’ pain in order to ease his own.
Likes>> Practical jokes; laughter; sitting outside; music; rain
Dislikes>> Crying; anger; messiness; fast food; people without a sense of humor
Fears>> His sister being hurt by an ignorant person; losing his horse, Autumn
Hopes>> For programs supporting people and families affected by autism to get more support themselves; to find a young horse he can buy
Secrets>> Forrest has a younger sister who has autism
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
Appearance>> Forrest isn’t necessarily a looker, but he’s also not unattractive. He has straight, chestnut brown hair that is never shorter than his ears yet never longer than his shoulders, and eyes a deep brown like chocolate. He has a narrow face on a narrow, boxy frame with his relatively short height of 5’8” the only reason his narrow limbs don’t look awkward and lanky. While in shape, he’s certainly no body builder. His skin, the type that never gets sunburnt, ranges from a light gold to a deep bronze depending on the season. He has a simple style, wearing mostly t-shirts or plaid button-downs with straight-legged jeans and a pair of Converse or boots.
Markings>> Various small, unnoticeable scars from friendly roughhousing
But I’ve gotta let it go
Medical History>> Nothing to note
Criminal History>> N/A
Full History>> Forrest, who grew up with a stable, normal family structure (whatever that means), a horse in his backyard, and was looking forward to having a little sister. His sister, Holly, was born when he was five, and while she was nothing less than a happy, healthy newborn, it became clear as she reached infancy that she was missing important social milestones. She developed into a brilliant child who, though she has limited cognitive flexibility and is severely socially impaired, expresses herself through art, drawings that, while they are not masterpieces, are above what most children are able to produce. Forrest, who for a while didn’t truly understand what was wrong with Holly as he didn’t see anything wrong with her, became her protective big brother, shielding her from the ignorance of others and making her laugh when she was otherwise uncomfortable. When Holly was six, she was given a service dog who gave her more independence as she grew, and became a new sort of protector.
Apart from Holly, Forrest had the life any average boy has, playing and learning and getting decent grades. The highlights of his days were seeing his sister smile and spending time with Autumn, the horse his parents kept on his property. Due to the challenges Forrest’s family faced with his sister, Forrest was in and out of formal riding lessons, but learned all he could when he could about riding, horsemanship, and horse management, and became Autumn’s primary daily caretaker as a result of that.
Because Holly was doing well with her dog and therefore had less of a need to have her protective big brother close, Forrest’s parents decided, at the request of Forrest, to let him attend Blue Ridge and explore his passion of horses. Because he is Autumn’s primary caregiver, and because his parents find themselves busy more often than not as Holly grows, and most importantly because Holly felt uncomfortable having Forrest leave without a dog since she can never leave without her dog and felt Autumn an acceptable “dog,” it was decided that Autumn, Forrest’s mom’s old dependable mare who had been retired to walk-trot-canter and small jumps, would go to Blue Ridge with Forrest.
We found love in a hopeless place
