Biography
Hello! I'm Balint Juhasz, the son of Shepherd Paul. I'll tell you about my dad's story. Dad was found by a shepherd when he was just a baby. Dad grew up to be very strong, When he was fourteen, he went on an adventure. He met three men on his journey; one who combed trees, one who ground stones into powder, and one who kneaded iron. Each man requested to wrestle with Dad, who beat them each time. When the four of them set up camp, Tree Comber was asked to prepare supper. A dwarf came by, The dwarf asked for food, and Tree Comber refused. The dwarf stole the food in the saucepan when it was cooked. The next day, the same thing happened with Stone Crusher, and the day afterwards, with Iron Kneader. Finally, Dad decided to do the cooking. He was quite annoyed with his friends, and decided to show the dwarf, who he had tied up to a tree. But the dwarf and tree were gone, and a hole was in its place. Dad's friends lowered him into the hole.

Dad ended up in a valley with a castle, a maiden, and a dragon with six heads. Dad did not fear the dragon and wrestled with it, killing it. The maiden gave him a gold rod, and he turned the castle into a golden apple. He then went to another castle, with another maiden (the sister of the first one) and a dragon with twelve heads. He killed the second dragon and freed the maiden. Afterwards, he found a third castle, with a third maiden (the sister of the previous two) and a dragon with eighteen heads. The dragon was the third maiden's husband, and he was also the dwarf's true form. Dad skilled the third dragon and saved the maiden. When Dad went back to his friends, the three ungrateful men stole the three sisters. Dad wandered for a long time, eventually meeting a griffin. The griffin helped Dad find the three maidens and the three unfaithful friends. Dad sent the three men away and turned the apples into castles. Each sister got a castle, and Dad married the youngest sister.

Life in the castle is pretty good. Dad's been granted a noble title. I've got two older sisters, Dalma and Virag. I've also got some cousins from my two aunts.

Right now, I'm at Ever After High. This is my second year at this place. I like it so far. The best thing about this place is that there's plenty of sports. I'm really into wrestling, and I'm on the school wrestling team. I enjoy watching wrestling as well. Sometimes, though, I feel like I don't know my own strength. I'm a pretty big guy.

One thing I have trouble with is trusting others. I know that Dad had some awful companions, and I figure that I'd be more careful if I'm to be the next Shepherd Paul. I would like to learn trust so I can have plenty of friends. I do have some friends, though. The best is my roommate Frederic. Frederic's a cool guy. He's into military stuff. I've never cared for that stuff, but I do like the fact that Frederic is very trustworthy and keeps secrets very well.

I'm also friends with fellow Hungarians Zoltan Turul, Vilmos Szakall, and Aliz Fejzse. They're all pretty fun to be around. Zoltan is the best out of them. He's very funny. He enjoys wrestling too, though of course I wouldn't wrestle him because he's much smaller than me and he could get injured. But we find lots of other things to bond over.

Still, I try to be easygoing and just go with the flow. I'll be willing to taste my destiny.
