Calvin has been well trained by his family in the right and wrong ways to behave, but not all lessons stick well. He knows who to be respectful to, but his pride only allows him to follow this should he think their actions make them deserving of it- and if he is forced to be respectful to someone higher than him, he is certainly holding back some remark or snap at them- and it will often show in his facial expressions.
He is a very sensitive boy, and kind at heart, however his insecurities, and how people push on them- whether they mean to or not- is often shown through the simple defensive mechanism of Anger, making him come across as a hot-head, not thinking his actions through as he is easily blinded by his own emotion.
Being teased since a young age for showing his tender emotions, Calvin tends to use any means necessary to smother these parts of himself from others viewing, as he considers showing his naturally soft and kind hearted nature weak, which would make him a burden- he leaves the tender moments with himself and his house plants.
History:
Calvin had always been known as the crybaby of his house, a group of proud and somewhat boistrous dogs. His siblings teased him mercilessly as the youngest his whole memorable time growing up, winding him up untill he would inevitably burst into angry or distressed tears and either run to hide behind his mother, a gentle woman, or throw a badly aimed childish punch their way. His father was not quite as forgiving and kind as his mother, and decided that instead of teaching his eldest four children not to tease, teaching his youngest to fight back would be a much better arrangement- afterall- he would need the skill later.
"Men don't cry my dear. Boys, perhaps, but never men."
Calvin tried everything he could to impress his father- but he grew apart from his mother, she was an emotional and tender woman, and he did not wish to be like her any more, it would only lead to more embarassment. The lessons seemed to work wonders on the boy in the older mans eyes, he had always relied more on his fists than his words, and his anger and pent up aggression made for a good fuel. That is not to say that the boy liked being aggressive or enjoyed fighting, he started off in life hating it, but in time, it became the only way he knew how to let his emotions out- and he grew to hate his tender nature the more his father taught him it was the wrong thing to have a soft heart did not do well in a warzone. If he carried on the way he was going, he would perhaps make them proud some day, he was told.
"He hit him several times untill he fell down- your boy is a brute and a bully"
When Calvin was fourteen years old he fell in love with a boy he knew, so naturally he punched him, pushed him down, into walls, over and over untill his anger calmed. He didn't know why the boy made him angry, it made no sence really- you try and tell someone they're beutiful and all that comes out is a distorted spattering of hateful remarks and destructive namecalling. His father was furious, naturally. His combat lessons became more frequent, the potted plants in his room died, and the boy he had so often beat around before moved away. It should have made him happy really, the main source of his anger was gone, but he didn't get any calmer, and he cried that night for the first time in a long time. The war seemed a much more peaceful ideality than the way those few years made him feel. His family forgave him, over time, balmed it on simply "boys being boys", and he told himself that that was what it must have been, it couldn't have been anything more such as emotion or insecurity, because that was not allowed, not for him atleast, not in his family.
"If it makes you angry, Hit it. Hit it untill it breaks."
He bacame a squire as soon as he possibly could, after all, directing all of his anger towards cats made him feel somewhat more at ease than not knowing where to put it. It was like a strange object that he couldn't throw away, linked onto him impossible to shake.It also gave him an excuse to move away from his family and- more importantly theeir expectations of him, here he could do something he knew he COULD do- which was fight, of course.
...And he could keep potted plants in his room without being teased.
