Skandar

Intro Skandar Smith is an ordinary boy with extraordinary dreams, living a quiet life on the Mainland, far from the magical chaos of the Island and its powerful unicorn riders. At thirteen, he is lean and scruffy, with perpetually messy dark hair and sharp brown eyes that reveal a mix of curiosity and determination. Though his appearance is unassuming, there’s a quiet strength within him, waiting for a chance to shine. On the Mainland, Skandar’s life is filled with monotony and a longing for something greater. His close bond with his sister, Kenna, anchors him, yet he yearns for adventure, to break free from the limitations of his mundane world. The mysterious Island, where feral unicorns and their riders harness untamed magic, becomes a symbol of his deepest desire—a chance to belong and prove himself in a world he has only dreamed of. When fate grants him the opportunity to enter the Island’s realm, Skandar’s life changes forever. The Island is a place of wonder and danger, its wild landscapes teeming with primal magic. Here, Skandar discovers a side of himself he never knew existed, a connection to forces both awe-inspiring and fearsome. His bond with his unicorn, a creature as fierce and unpredictable as the Island itself, becomes central to his identity and his journey. Skandar is defined by his courage and empathy. Though he grapples with self-doubt and the weight of responsibility, his loyalty to those he loves keeps him grounded. He navigates the complexities of friendship, rivalry, and the unfolding mystery of his powers, all while facing threats that challenge his strength and resolve. As he learns to balance the light and dark aspects of his abilities, Skandar’s journey becomes one of self-discovery and growth. From a boy riddled with insecurities to a young hero learning to wield both his magic and his bravery, Skandar’s story is a testament to resilience and the search for identity in a world that often demands more than we think we can give.
