Personality
GENTLEMAN dominic did grow up with two younger sisters and a rather overbearing mother after all, who took it in great lengths to teach her son the proper way to treat, not only women, but other people in general. dom is a polite, well-mannered young man, who, while he may be blunt and brash at some moments, would never speak ill of another person. he believes, of course, that everyone should be put ahead of himself, serving them always before, especially women. in turn, along with the teachings of manners, his mother was also quite the romantic who like to emphasize on the right way to woo and romance a girl in the appropriate way; holding open doors, helping her out of cars, planning picnics, spontaneously bringing her flowers, the traditional thins which have quickly become out of practice, are things that dj is completely comfortable doing. he never pushes someone to do something they don't want to do, never taking advantage of them, unless he is pushing them to do something for their own good, like forcing them to go to the hospital, etc.
STUBBORN he fights for what he believes him, there's no mistake about that. and with a fervor that's not common to see. dominicus doesn't back down from a fight, especially when he knows he is right, and when something he holds dear is threatened, he'll protect it to the death. he is every bit the 'over protective brother' to his two younger sisters. he can't be changed, however. he's as stubborn as a mule and doesn't sway in decisions. he's firm in his beliefs and morals, nothing can undermine his values. it's easy to depend on dj since most people know this. because he is to stubborn, he only makes promises he intends to keep, and will work as adently as possible to make sure they are upheld. he's persistent, you have to give him that much, and you'll never see him give up on a friend or a loved one, always encouraging and making sure they achieve their goals, as well as his own.
SINCERE humble and modest, dom has never been one to gloat needlessly. of course, everyone enjoys recognition for what they're good at, but he doesn't need it constantly. dom never does anything under false pretense, and if there's a motive behind his actions and you ask about it, he'll tell you straight out. of course, if no one asks, he's not going to say anything. when he does speak, you know it's the truth, and that he's talking from the heart. everything he says is genuine and he means it. there's no lying or half-assed responses with him. he's not always completely honest with people about what he's feeling, and likes to keep that guarded, not to say that if the right person asks, he won't have a problem saying something that he's feeling. dom is straight-forward and doesn't like skirting around and beating around the bush, so if there's something he's got to say, he's going to say it and he's most definitely going to mean it.

History as the first born child and only son of the king and queen of the netherlands, dominicus jelle had certain responsibilities thrust upon him from a very young age. although he was not the first in line for the dutch crown, he was the eldest child of the family, and the only boy, and with that came the task of watching over his younger sisters. dj took this task in stride, though in the beginning he hadn't quite been sure of what his job was. obviously the girls played by themselves, and he hadn't been interested in dolls or anything like that, so he couldn't engage with them during playtime. nor did he get his hair brushed like they did or took naps as them. for the longest time, dom felt as if this meant that he just had to be lost watching them, until he realized that it was watching them that was important. making sure they were safe and unthreatened was just as important as fixing the dolls that broke when they played or carrying them inside when they hurt themselves when running in the garden, all things he did and took pride in. he was their big brother, and he'd be damned if he wasn't going to be the best big brother there had ever been.
dominic grew up in much this way, always watching his youngers sisters get the attention. it was understandable of course, his middle sister was going to inherit the crown, and as little girls they were both much more fragile and emotional than he was. it was a difficult day when dominicus finally began his schooling away from home at vineheart, and had to seperate from his position as watch-dog and guardian. he found, however, that being away from those responsibilities gave him time to develop himself individually as a person, slowly of course as change had never boded well for the young man, and eagerly began to involve himself in activities that didn't involve pulling cotton candy out of blond hair or pulling apart two angry pre-teens.
sports were the first thing he discovered and he fond that he was rather good at them. physical prowess was something he'd inherited from both sides of his family, and while he didn't have the height most of the other boys had, he quickly made up for it in muscle. he found he was rather good at football, both the european and american varieties. of course, to be on the teams he had to keep up a rather high average in all of his classes, and while he excelled in english, math and science, he easily fell behind in history, social sciences and arts. he'd never been the abstract or creative type, he needed something concrete where he'd get an answer at the end, like math, or something that, while using up the little creative juices he had, gave a final product in the end like english. history was memorizing which he didn't fancy himself a genius, and social sciences like psychology were far too abstract for him. he'd missed the creative boat completely, and though he could form poetry good enough, his artistic abilities otherwise equated to a big fat zero.
that didn't, however, deter from his learning at school, he meerly had to work harder to keep up his average in the classes he wasn't naturally disposed to do well in than the ones he was good at. he was, contrarily, deterred from his studies when miss nada dragoslava waltzed into his life. it was frightening to believe that such a girl could have an affect on him like that, but slowly he found himself falling in love with her, which oddly wasn't scary at all. he had no problem in telling her this, despite the fact that she was promised to someone else. his entire fifth year had been nothing but frustration, anger and pining over a girl he shouldn't want, and could never have. that didn't quell his love for her, and if anything spurred him on even further, setting himself to the task of proving that he could be, and would be, the best person for her, even if she did deserve much better than him.
graduation rolled around and the excitement was tangible in the air. finally, he was free from the ever-watchful eyes of the teachers, the classes he didn't want to take and the people he didn't want to associate with. and plus, nada and her best friend had managed to get themselves out of their bind, and he was free to propose to her, which he did with a flourish. it couldn't stop, it seemed, when he got his acceptance letter to yale only a few days later, and the high that was just starting to diminish with the excitement and satisfaction of finally being able to marry the girl he loved was kicked up a notch when he registered for his classes. he decided to major in mathematical economics and minor in literature, which, he reasoned, would be in his interests, what he was good at and be profitable in the future.
