First off, let me tell you about said Lancer.
William Jeanne, a lancer and a playful one at that. His intentions are rarely ever for any reason besides entertainment, and a good laugh. Overtly social, a lover of treats, and probably the first person you'll find invading a private discussion because he heard a word or two that grabbed his interest. His role in the world is not yet determined, and currently he would appear to many as merely a purple haired trickster. His hobbies? A maker of toys, puppets, and dolls. A connoisseur of sweet treats. A lover of games, like tag and hide and go seek. Truly a child in the body of an adult, but to some it holds a unique charm.
Now, why would you be interested in this man? That is where the fun starts. William's personality and being ensures he can interact with all people, even if it isn't always pleasant. Whether he's annoying one, or playing with fellow childish characters, and the list can go on. William is intended ideally as the humor character, and the character who may cause the most varied reactions, his inspiration being Shigure from Fruits Basket.
