Personality: Draven is very cheery, bubbly and sweet boy. Unlike his brothers, Draven is friendly (without putting on a front) and is the more social one of the family even if he is mostly alone. He can be rather childish and excitable and seems fairly innocent but he is his brother's brother; so Draven can be cruel and cold when he needs.
Bio: Draven is the youngest of the Mann brothers. When he was just a baby his father left the family, so he remembers nothing of him and his two older brothers only tell him to 'never think of him.' Still, with the absence of a dad, Draven, his mother and brothers tried to carry on. This didn't last long as there were fights in the family. Draven was safe as he was their mother's 'favourite son' and even though his brothers tried to shield him of the fights, Draven always knew he was not from a happy home.
The fighting only got worse the older he got. It finally came to breaking point when Kamilah and Talon had a vicious row while Draven watched secretly. Draven got involved as his mother suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed Talon's hand,, he pulled her away and tried talking sense into her. In her hysterics, Kamilah believed Draven was 'betraying her' and slashed his throat before attempting to kill him which is when Vlad stepped in and stopped her. Draven and Talon were rushed to hospital where it was found the knife had damaged Draven's voice box. Though he would heal, he couldn't speak the same way he used to. While the brothers recovered, they received the news their mother was missing and Vlad not being old enough to take guardianship, the brothers were threatened with foster care. Draven was in grief over the thought of being separated from his brothers and completely lost his ability to speak. However, days later his brothers told him Kamilah had come back and they were going to try and work it out. Exstatic over the news, Draven found his voice again and when he and Talon healed, they were brought back home; where it was revealed that his brothers news was a lie. Their mother had still left but they were going to keep the lie till Vlad turned 18 (in one month) then he could take custody. Even though Draven saw it as a good plan to keep them together, he fell into silence again. With his brothers support, his voice healed.
But trouble was not over as even though Vlad had custody, the money for food and rent was running out. In a desperate attempt, Talon and Draven went to the streets to scavenge for food. Draven, in a quick desperation, stole from a few passerby's and got enough money for food and even cover one months rent. Talking it over, the three brothers decided that along with Vlad's new job as a teacher, Talon and Draven would take to pick pocketing, only when needed, to survive. And even though years on and it has become a routine to him, Draven wishes for a life where he could live, not just survive.
Useless facts!!:
1. Despite his dislike for it's need, Draven is actually really good at picking pockets. He can steal a wallet, take out what he needs and place it right back in the same spot before you even knew it was missing. He also has a certain like for the talent. Not stealing in itself but the accomplishment of doing it and getting away with it without even being noticed gives him a happy kick.
2. Sometimes if the wallet looks cool, Draven will keep it. He has a whole collection of nice wallets he has stolen.
3. He is bullied more often than you'd think.
4. Draven's voice now sounds rather raspy and whispery. His voice before the accident was very light and bubbly and apparently he would talk a lot.
5. Despite his mother trying to kill him and ruining his voice, Draven still wants his mother to come back to them.
6. If you haven't noticed. Draven is albino.
