I have been absolutely CRAVING fall designs this year - I started another but ultimately decided not to keep the character. Instead, I dove back in with this boy and fell completely in love! I wanted to do a dad bod with a slightly more realistic shape and it turned into the excellent man.

Hawthorne is a blacksmith that that focuses on functional blacksmithing; versus the typical weapons that many others prioritize. His favorite things to make are decorative barriers and pots/pans. He also loves to cook, especially outdoors, and custom-made outdoor cooking equipment. All of his cookware was made by him as well! One of his most popular items are iron roses that he infuses with scented oils at the buyer's request. He can re-infuse the roses at any time, but on rare occasions he also makes special versions where the scent is stored within a magic crystal - those roses never need to be re-infused and the scent will last indefinitely.

Along with cooking, he loves camping and being outdoors, especially in cooler weather. He appreciates well-made bourbon and smokes fine tobacco on rare occasions as a treat.

Although he comes off as being quite stern and serious, he is actually quite caring and makes a wonderful, thoughtful partner.
