Character Profile:

Name: Robyn ap Gryffin Nickname: "the Gryffin" Birth Sign: Sagittarius, The Archer Position: Ranger, Scout, Castle Guard; Ciaran's closest companion and standard bearer Likes: Horses, Hounds, Gambling, Drinking, Women, Sport, Good Conversation, Travel, Adventure _Avoids: Routine; Sentimentality; Liars, Cheats, Dullards, Thieves and Tyrants

Dominant Personality Traits: A skeptical philosopher, a reluctant prophet, still unsure of the answers to the riddle of life, Robyn, unlike Ciaran and the Bruce, feels at home in his own skin. He doesn't take himself or the circumstances of life too seriously; usually expects everything to work out for the best; takes people at face value; shuns dependency and emotionalism

Quote: "Life's not such a tangle as I see it; dicing, drinking; whoring - why complicate things?"

Mannerisms: Robyn’s facial expressions and posture are asymmetrical, echoing his slightly slanted view of the world. He expresses himself with his eyebrows; grins out of one side of his mouth; shrugs; often leans against walls, legs and arms crossed

_Positive Characteristics: optimism, candor, cheerfulness, logic, honesty, daring and enthusiasm

_Negative Characteristics: recklessness, emotional confusion, carelessness, lack of tact, rudeness, and fickleness; tendency to go to excess in word and deed - that is, he is prone to exaggeration and overindulgence in “wine, women, and song.”

How other people see him:_ Most others see Robyn as friendly, relaxed, and accepting of them as they are. They enjoy his conviviality, good sportsmanship, sense of fair play, and straight talk. He has a Puckish side which can be quite playful, making him a spirited companion. His loyalty in friendship is unparalleled. The more sedate types may assume he is too casual and careless, but they run the risk of underestimating his intuition and often brilliant mental processes

Dominant Coping Mechanism: Robyn uses anger as a shield against experiencing more vulnerable emotions like love, grief, and fear

An Outstanding Image,

Looking at his eyes I asked myself about his ascendent. I would detect it as pisces. This would place the sun of his birth at the MC (more or less). Nice idea of illustrating astrology
