Lantern

"Grandson of Leonardo, the greatest machinist on the continent. Nimble-fingered and keen minded, many villages had high expectations of Lantern since he was little, but he's become a troublemaker in Alfheimr since his obsession with the absurd dream of flying. He has somehow made a flying machine called an Ornithopter through thousands of experiments, but it's not stable yet and keeps crashing...

Lantern has known Nene of the Polar Bear Tribe since he was young. After he started to hang out with Nene, she became very interested in falling; she picked up the taste for it during the many failed test flights of the Ornithopter. Lantern is a handsome boy, but aside from his good looks he's also very strong and is an amazing shot with a sniper rifle. He's been training with Nene, who constantly beats him. But what doesn't kill him only makes him stronger..."

Appearance
Lantern has blonde hair and blue eyes, and is most often seen dressed in a blue jacket over a green sweater. Like Nene, he wears a pendant. He also has a small pouch by his left hip, presumably for tools. He uses a black backpack.

Personality
Lantern is intelligent, being able to improve on his ornithopters all by himself while keeping it a secret from his grandfather, Leo. He is often the brains of the operation, albeit naive. He often gives comebacks to the ridiculous situations he faces, sometimes without voicing it out.

He also has a never-say-die determination, as seen from his devotion to creating a successful Ornithopter - the test model that crashed him into exploring Judecca was his 100th one. His obsession is worrisome, though his spirit is admirable, once bringing him into direct conflict with Leo.

Lantern makes a good pair with Nene - they make up for what the other lacks; Lantern is the brains behind the operation, while Nene carries things out with her barbaric strength. However, he panics rather quickly.

Lantern also takes great pride in being an engineer, and looks up to Edison, carrying his book, Aeromechanics around like a bible.

Abilities
Lantern has an incredible skill set as an engineer, especially for his age; he is entrusted by Leo to oversee some of his creations, including the Automatic Bread Maker. Although with much struggle, Lantern is able to assist Leo as well.

Lantern is also a good shot; according to Nene, he's always been 'good at hitting things from far away'.
