.Dafydd Rees.
Full Name: Dafydd Steve Rees
Nick Names: N/A
Student or Staff: Staff, Principal
House (if student): N/A
Age: Thirty
Ethnicity: British (Welsh)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Physical Description: Tall and Muscular, Dafydd is obviously a looker. His 6' ft frame is held well, and can sometimes be very threatening when he wants to be with it. His light brown hair is wiry in texture as well as short and curly to look at. His features are very strong, with a chiseled jaw and high cheekbones. His deep hazel eyes are one of the main ways he communicates, all the emotions he feels flash in his eyes. This means he cannot be very secretive as it shows in his eyes. He has difficulties trying to smother emotions. He has a habit of pursing his lips when agitated or angered, which is also a tell tale sign. When he's nervous, he licks his lips.
He dresses smart/casual when at work, he despises suits and ties. When in the barn, he could be classed as scruff as all of his horses have the tendency to cover him in slobber or their food. He doesn't go out often, but when he does his clothing is similar to that he wears in work. Dafydd has two tattoo's. One commemorates his wife who passed away and another is the symbol of his home country. Both of which mean a lot to him. His wifes
Personality: Who said you can't have the brains and the looks? It seems that dear Dafydd has stormed through the barriers of society and proved them wrong. The clever Welsh man has been devoted to his work, teaching and now a principal, since he left university. This has caused problems, but he has to get through it. The intelligent male is always a first to turn too when someone has a problem. As well as smart, he is compassionate man. He will off his sympathy, advise or just a shoulder to cry on. But, this didn't come instantly. He used to be stand offish, didn't like being bothered and was snappy with people he had no patience for.
Although it doesn't show often, Dafydd has a sharp tongue. If you push his buttons, he will hit you back with his words. His softly spoken vocals make him much, much more threatening. He would never lay a finger upon a fly, but only because his words are enough to scare anyone away. But, he is really level headed. He would never unfairly attack someone, he weighs out if they deserve it first.
Serious Dafydd loves to joke and laugh but quickly retreats to his usual ways. One thing you will normally catch him doing though is singing. He's not one of those people who can play every musical instrument under the sun, but he can really, really sing. His husky vocals and soulful oracles will make any woman swoon.
He may look like a ladies man, but he's far from it. Well, now anyway. Women can throw themselves at him as much as they please, but nothing will happen. Relationships just aren't up there with his work. It's gotten him into trouble and has even ruined things hugely for him, but teaching always comes first.
History: Dafydd was born into the small town in West Wales known as Prembrokeshire. His family spoke Welsh, so English is his second language. He has spoken Welsh purely until, except in English classes in school, going to a University in England. The male had a knack for teaching and passed his course with flying colors. Then, a year after graduating, he fell in love and a year after that, they were married. Their relationship was strained, Dafydd throwing most of his time into work. Then, in two thousand and one, Emma was conceived. Dafydd decided it was time to pay more attention to his family. Then, when she was a stillborn, he sunk into depression. Work was the only thing on his mind. Work.
Tragedy struck one night. Jayden, his wife, called him to pick him up after being out with her friends. He refused, claiming he was too busy marking papers, and she drove home drunk. Only, she didn't arrive. Police turned up at his door at 3am. He wasn't worried up until that point. He'd thought she was at a friends house. They broke the news to him. Jayden had died in a car accident, killing three people. She was the driver. Dafydd sunk to the floor and collapsed into tears. Heartbroken, he turned to drink. A tattoo was the only thing he had to remember her. Her parents had blamed him for her death, and taken away all her possessions. Finally, last year he became sober. A new job has landed him in America, a place where he can have a fresh start. The only things he has brought with him are his mare and her colt, and her two dogs. Will BRRA accept their new Principal? Will he revert back to his old ways? God, we hope not.
Misc.: Nope.

.Cedar.
Registered Name: N/A
Name: Cedar
Age: 1 year old
Species: Canine
Breed: Native American Indian Dog
Registry: N/A
Personality: Cedar is still very young so is very excitable. The youngster is loving though and adores attention. He can be nervous and doesn't like it when voices are raised. He loves to play and his favorite play mate at the moment is Heartbreaker, Dafydd's young colt. He's also very fond of Macario. The brindle canine adores Icey, who is Dafydd's other dog as well as Dafydd. He follows his master around everywhere until something catches his eye. He has a very short attention span and doesn't like to concentrate. Other than that, he's very clever and needs to be occupied as much as possible. He's currently learning tricks and is adapting to them quickly, just not as fast as Icey did.
History: Cedar was bought by Dafydd from a small time breeder. The breed is not very well known so Dafydd paid quite a lot for him. He didn't mind though, He fell in love with the charismatic youngster and he and Icey got on like a house on fire. Shortly after them being together, they made the move to America and Cedar went with Dafydd and his other canine pal. So far, he's really settled into the academy and his favorite place is under Dafydd's desk. It gives some of the students a fright when all of a sudden a tail will flop from under the desk or a soft sigh will sound. It never fails to amuse his owner when this happens.
.Icey.
Registered Name: N/A
Name: Icey
Age: 5 years old
Species: Canine
Breed: Alaskan Malamute
Registry: N/A
Personality: Icey is a much more laid back dog than Cedar. The older male is more of a gentleman than a young boy. His proud strut shows that he is very sure of himself and could be classed as independent if you hadn't seen how he interacts with Dafydd. The canine adores his master and is very, very protective of him. He is very sensitive to mood changes of those humans around him, which makes him a very good guard dog as he will sit by the person he feels is being threatened and go for the one who is doing the threatening. He'd never hurt someone otherwise and is usually very chilled out, not even batting an eyelid to what is going on around him. He adores Cedar and is like a father figure to the younger canine, he also tells him off when he's doing wrong.
History: Icey was found by Dafydd at a animal shelter. The beautiful canine had been abandoned by a family who believed the dog was dangerous. In matter of fact, Icey couldn't be further from dangerous. He and Dafydd have an amazing bond, they know each other inside and out. Without Icey, he would have never had gotten over Jayden's death. He owes a lot to the Malamute, and he does his best to care for him. Since being at the academy, Icey has become firm friends with Stellan, Dafydd's new horse. The pair are very similar in their ways and Icey will spend his time in the stall with the dapple, just sitting there and enjoying the occasional nuzzle from the gelding. When in the office with Dafydd, he sits by the bookcase or beside the door, depending who is in the office with his master.
