Hair Dark brown, sometimes shot through with blonde highlights.
Eyes Dark brown
Height
Features His best feature would be his smile, bright and infectious. He also laughs a lot, so the little laugh lines show. He has a hint of a dimple in his chin. He wears his hair long and with a lot of gel, making it stick all over. He likes hats, so he'll occasionally accessorize with one. He's not entirely sinewy and lanky and has enough build to keep him from being entirely "slim." He also has pierced ears and aspirations of a tattoo, if only his mother wouldn't kill him.
Who I Really Am
[/color][/font]
Likes
- sports, especially soccer
- laughing and making others laugh
- confidence
- turning lemons into lemonade
- jazz music
- thrill rides, just enough on the edge to make him feel alive
- his fifth place bowling ribbon, because he'll never forget where he started
- his style, knowing he's put together enough to be presentable
Dislikes
- people who diss confidence and cool for cocky arrogance
- gossipmongers
- rules that are too restrictive
- mornings
- shopping, being he has no patience for it
- anything that makes Edon feel he wants that hour back in his life
- clingy girls or clinging anything, really
- hospitals totally freak him out
Strengths
- Compassion - being someone who listens only works when he can find himself trying to understand the situation instead of listening through it.
- Focused - Edon is someone who has been taught since the day he was born of his position in life. Never has he really lost sight of what he is and what he will become.
- Fearless - There isn't a dare that Edon won't do, within reason, of course. He likes the mind-numbing, spine-tingling ride that comes with thrill seeking and he does so with a smile on his face and a whole lot of gusto.
- Learned - While Edon doesn't consider himself very charming or charismatic, it is something he is working on. While he may not get being the people person he will need to become one day, he does understand hard work and dedication when it comes to classes.
Weaknesses
- Brave - bravery can come in many forms, but the fact that Edon gets his kicks from risking his life every so often isn't necessarily always a good thing.
- Critical - being brought up in a meticulous household, Edon was never held back on his flaws, but the fact he has to point out everyone else's doesn't make him the best person to be around.
- Grouchy - While he tries to be the kind soul he knows he is, if you pester him before his eyes are open, he will bite heads off.
- Family - Edon isn't as close as he would like to be with both his sister and his cousins. It is something he knows he needs to work on. But he's so good about procrastinating that, too.
- Timeliness - Not only does Edon have trouble telling time, but trying to finish things on time when he starts at the last minute gives him yet another rush. That is not a good thing.
Fears
- The death of his father, the King of Albania. That death would be the reason why Edon would be called upon to be the next King. Until he feels he is ready, Edon will not be ready to be King before his time.
- Being held back from what he wants to do.
- Speaking in public still brings up visions of a room full of old men in Speedos, but he's slowly working on it.
- Needles. Especially needles that squirt out a hint of fluid first.
Personality
Kind Edon is not one to look down on anyone. He knows how difficult it is on the streets, even if he has never lived that life himself. He would gladly hand over the shirt on his own back, give up his last Euro and take away the grieving pain if it meant someone he loved or cared about would feel better. He always has an ear for anyone and would never judge a soul based on what was said.
Fearless Edon loves his thrills, whether it's a ski run down the Matterhorn, a roller coaster zooming downwards at 60 mph or base jumping. He is always looking for the next ride and he'll do it knowing the risks and the rewards.
Funny Edon takes his position very seriously, but it doesn't mean everything has to be taken that seriously. He likes to find humor in everyday things and it brings him joy to see a smile on a serious face. He appreciates wit and theatrical antics.
Sincere With Edon, what you see is what you get. He doesn't like playing games, unless he doesn't know he's playing them in the first place. He puts himself out there first, even if he looks like a fool for wearing his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't like lying and he is willing to admit fault, even if it makes him look stupid.
Who I Once Was

Parents King Besnik and Queen Edina
Siblings Princess Ariana Dorottya. He likes to call her Aria.
Cousins --- --- of Hungary and Princess Julianna Firenze of Hungary. He likes to call her Jewel.
History On September 17, late into the night, Queen Edina went into a hard labor. After nineteen hours of labor and sounds that no woman alive should know how to make, she bore a son, named Edon Valdrin, the heir of her husband, King Besnik. From the moment he showed off his big, dark eyes - some say that they looked quite like his mother's - he was whisked off to learn how to become a crowned prince. By the time he was three, Edon already knew how to read and could speak well enough to articulate intelligent thought. And, when he was told "no," he simply went ahead and did things anyway. At three, Edon wasn't smart enough to figure out that he was doing something wrong. His moral code didn't slip in until he was at least five. By that time, he had spent a summer in Denmark and rather liked all of the secret passageways. At the age of five, he fell asleep in one tunnel and it took the Danish servants a number of hours to locate him. It was the first time that his father told him that he was disappointed in him. Edon, being five, didn't really think too much on that until the next day when he couldn't go fishing. Edon now knew the proper punishment given to children who didn't behave or listen to their parents.
As he grew through his younger years, Edon began to notice other things around him. One, it was fun to ride down the hill on a lid, going as fast as he could. Two, he never saw his sister so he could pretend she didn't exist. Three, girls were a necessary evil, including Ariana. Only then he knew her as Annoying-ana. And four, he could get what he wanted with a sweet smile and a few simple words of gratitude. He spent many years around his father and his father's loyal council, learning by the time he was ten all of their functions, names and the history of each family. Blood and loyalty were everything to him.
Though homeschooled for the first few years of his life, Edon knew it wouldn't last forever. His parents chose Vineheart in Montana as one of the top schools in the world. Edon went in with an open-mind and a whole lot of hope and found that he actually enjoyed being around others. He found a few new hobbies, mainly soccer and jazz and he realized that he wasn't so much into the party scene as he was into the quietly-sit-down-and-hope-nobody-notices-you're-not-dancing scene. It would be an embarrassment to let Edon dance as he has two very untalented left feet. He also learned that he needed to smile more, because some of the others were just far too serious.
Now in his final year, Edon hopes to learn the necessary things in order to get him into the next few years of his life. He's finally facing the fate of a political marriage, though in his heart of hearts, he knows that marrying for political reasons is wrong. He still feels a little clueless around women as he was brought up in a world of men. With a little more learning, he feels he may be finally ready to unleash himself into the world, bringing with him a smile, a laugh and one hell of a thrill ride.
