History:
Corvin grew up for the first ten years of his life with his twin brother, Corentin, and they had a wonderful time. They were practically inseperable, and their parents seemed loving. But everything changed when Corentin recieved a letter for something amazing, a wizarding school. Their parents were thrilled, and found a way to send him to a Russian school to honor their mothers heritage. Soon, Cory was off to school... and Corvin wasn't.
Left behind, things began to change. He missed his brother deeply. His absence had meant that the school bullies had started targeting Corvin again. Now alone, his grades had slipped, and while Corvin had taken on a lot of the household chores, his parents had done nothing but sing Cory's praises, always comparing Corvin to his twin. When the final report cards had been given, Corvin had been asked why he couldn't be more like his brother.
But in spite of it all, Corvin still loved his brother deeply. He had eagerly written to his brother every week, even sending him a little token, a silver pendant of Cory's favorite animal. Corvin missed Cory more and more the longer they were apart. He'd started doing work wherever he could find it, mostly gardening and caring for the lawns of every house on the street, just so he could buy plane tickets so Cory could come home for Christmas. Corvin spent all of his free time working, maintaining the yards in the neighborhood and setting the money he made into a bit of a trust fund for Corentin. When he wasn't working or studying for school, he was cleaning the house, or taking cooking classes at the local community center.
Still, it never seemed to be enough for his parents. The passive comments never seemed to stop, dismissing anything he did and comparing him to his brothers' successes. Corvin tried to ignore it, but the more that time went on without his brother with him, the further and further apart they seemed. Corentin was perfect. He was strong, intelligent, handsome, talented. And Corvin... well, Corvin wasn't.
Life had been... difficult for Corvin. He'd struggled in school, but had spent countless nights staying up into the wee hours of the morning trying to study. His grades had been nearly perfect, but he couldn't help but feel like it wasn't enough. He'd grown a lot since Cory had left. His hair was long and shaggy, his clothes were almost too big on him. Corvin had struggled to really eat anything for years, leaving him scrawny. He had grown even more timid as he'd grown older. The constant apathy of his parents had worn him down. He felt like they blamed him for Cory's absence, and honestly, Corvin blamed himself, too. If he had been a better brother, been stronger, smarter, maybe Cory would have come home.
Corvin had been taking care of his parents for the last few years, struggling to balance his home and school life. He rarely slept more than a few hours, and he felt more like a shadow than a person. He missed Cory deeply, and wore the necklace his brother had given him almost constantly. Some days, Corvin felt like it was all he had left.
When their parents had finally passed, Corvin had sent a shaky letter to Cory to let him know, and then had almost immediately started cleaning the house. He'd deep cleaned every inch of it, until the entire house smelled of cleaner. Cory came home, and after a tearful and tense evening, he and Cory settled on an agreement- visits often, with Corvin getting the proceeds from selling the house so he could set up a life of his own.
Time seemed to pass quickly after that. Cory stayed the night with Corvin, then left again for Russia the next day. They'd stayed up most of the night talking, before falling asleep in the early hours of the morning. They'd gone to the funeral the next day, then Corvin had seen his brother off again. The house sold a few months later, and Corvin used the money to buy a two story building. He used the rest of his inheritance to remodel the building, turning the ground floor into a storefront and the upper floor into a two bedroom apartment.
Within a month he'd gotten the flower shop up and running. It wasn't the most popular business in town, but Corvin did well enough on his own that he could pay his bills. He settled quickly into his new life. He settled into a routine, and before he knew it ten years had passed. Corvin hadn't seen his brother since their parents death. If he let himself linger on it, he would get upset. Not being invited to his brothers wedding had really hurt. But time went on, and eventually Corvin just settled into his solitude. Perhaps he deserved to be alone.
So, of course, it was a bit of a surprise when he heard a frantic knocking on his front door. His brother had appeared with his young son after the death of his wife. Corvin welcomed him in, and slowly the two of them bonded all over again. They were having a wonderful time. Corvin is happy with his life- shyly peeking at the shopkeeper next door, getting to know his brother and his nephew, and running his flower shop.

Astrological Sign: Capricorn
Capricorn is a sign that represents time and responsibility, and its representatives are traditional and often very serious by nature. These individuals possess an inner state of independence that enables significant progress both in their personal and professional lives. They are masters of self-control and have the ability to lead the way, make solid and realistic plans, and manage many people who work for them at any time. They will learn from their mistakes and get to the top based solely on their experience and expertise. Belonging to the element of Earth , like Taurus and Virgo, this is the last sign in the trio of practicality and grounding. Not only do they focus on the material world, but they have the ability to use the most out of it. Unfortunately, this element also makes them stiff and sometimes too stubborn to move from one perspective or point in a relationship.
They have a hard time accepting differences of other people that are too far from their character. A goat with the tail of a fish is created to face fear and create panic. It is the sign of decisions made to be protected from monsters in our minds, lives, and immediate physical surrounding. Always ready to transform into something that scares those scary things off, Capricorn speaks of each natural chain reaction of fear, where one scary thing leads to many others, rising up as defensive mechanisms that only make things worse. Immersed in their secrecy, they face the world just as they are – brave enough to never run away, but constantly afraid of their inner monsters. It is not easy to win over the attention and the heart of a Capricorn, but once their walls break and their heart melts they stay committed for a lifetime. Their relationships with other signs can be challenging due to their difficult character, but any shared feeling that comes from such a deep emotional place is a reward for their partner's efforts.
Shown sensitivity comes through acts rather than words, and years are often needed for them to open enough to chat about their actual emotional problems. Capricorn is intelligent, stable and reliable, and this makes its representatives loyal and extremely good friends, standing in one's life as pillars on their way to their dreams. They need to be surrounded by people who don't ask too many nosey questions, know where boundaries are set, but also warm, open-hearted and loyal enough to follow their lead. They will not collect too many friends in this lifetime but turn to those who make them feel at peace, intelligent and honest at all times. Capricorns will set high standards for themselves, but their honesty, dedication, and perseverance will lead them to their goals. They value loyalty and hard work over all other things and keep associates with these qualities close even when they might be intellectually inferior. Concentrated and resourceful, this is someone who gets the job done, doesn't mind long hours, and commits to the final product completely.
Capricorn men are determined and ambitious people, who want to reach the top to get the rewards. He prefers reality over uncatchable dreams, but isn’t afraid to set some of their more realistic dreams in motion. His need for control is strong, and he could be judgmental towards his partners, expecting them to be something they really aren’t. His nature is wrapped up around accomplishment and responsibility and he often doesn't set romantic relationships on the top of his priority list. A Capricorn man wants to take charge and be the one to make the rules from the beginning. When starting a relationship, he will think about ways to respect the norm but also show his feelings, expecting the person in front of him to feel comfortable and attractive enough no matter the amount of affection he gives.
