Nathan is your average farmboy. He's spent most of his life in a barn, and was riding practically before he was walking. He's a sweetheart that's been hurt and used one too many times in the past, causing him to be a little bit more shy than your run of the mill man.
For friends, Nate has people he talks to often, but it's rare you'll get incredibly close to him unless he finds you striking in one way or another. He's friendly enough, but is a little daft when it comes to making friendships. Horses and mechanics are at the forefront of his mind, so if you're not one of those two things, you might not have any luck getting to him. Nate means well but his shyness often prevents him from speaking what he's thinking, making most of what he says vague and hard to decipher. He can be a complete clown when you get on his good side, but you have to fight past the serious, focused exterior first.
As for romance, he's a little hardened and numb to romantic feelings. It's not that he has low confidence or damns love overall; he's simply been desensitized to affection. He's a bit wary of those that say they like him, sure that they're using him in some way or another. Once he's been reassured that the person in question does have a genuine interest in him, he'll treat her like a queen. He's in it for the long run, casual dating not appealing to him at all.
Enemies are something Nathan doesn't have many of. His personal mantra is to let sleeping dogs lie. He won't get involved in business that doesn't directly concern him, and he's far too genuine to even attempt to spread rumors or hatred. He prefers his life, and those he keeps company with, to remain drama-free. Should someone cause a stir in his happy little existence, he isn't afraid to shut them out.

Azaria & Nathan
Let's see here... I can see Ria becoming rather curious as to Nate truly is, and trying her best to get to know him more without overstepping her boundaries as an employee. She'd be drawn to him, no doubt, seeing as they're rather kindred spirits so they could probably bond over their heartbreak and the like. I could see them slowly becoming friends, and possibly Ria eventually wanting more than that; however, that's up in the air as to if she will or not. Whether the feeling is reciprocated or not is completely up to you!
Any other thoughts/ideas for 'em that you have? I'd love to hear! (: |

NATHAN & AZARIA
she'd probably be one of the few people he could relate to, as their personalities and interests are quite similar. he'd definitely find her physically attractive. he's got this whole chivalry thing down to a tee, so he'd want to try and 'fix' her like he does with his cars- make her happy again and such. He's quite noble in that sense, having a need to let her know that she wasn't the only person that's been screwed over in the past.
He's a bit of a night owl, so I can see a potential thread of theirs being that she's closing up the student barn for a night, only to find out he's in there. She yells at him mistakenly thinking he's a student and is out past student curfew, but soon realizes her mistake. Hah.
I can definitely see their relationship turning into a romance. Her pursuing would be charming to him, at least to the extent that he'd be shocked someone would care for him to the same extent he cares for them. But we'll have a thread together and see where things go!

Azaria & Nathan
I can see them trying to mend one another whilst mending themselves at the same time. They'll be interesting to squash together, I think. And rather adorable if and when their relationship does make them romantically involved.
As for your thread idea, yes! It'd be quite the hilarious one and perhaps a bit of a jump start into them getting to know one another a bit more? Anyways, I'm up for it if you are! :D |

Nathan & Emmy ;
Okay so I'm already more than certain that Ems will be badgering Nathan about school-related topics, from more funding for the English Program to arranging mock-shows for the students around midterms, etc. etc. The question is whether or not he'll find her obnoxious or entertaining, endearing, whatevs. She'd probably not be too interested in any sort of romance because of the whole superior/underling relationship, but as with any other coworker she'd want to keep on good terms with him.
I can see her starting up a war of gentle jibes, for his western riding or haircut ("Quoi? Did you see mine and get jealous, hm?"), with jokes about escargot and her accent in return, or something. :U Let me know what you think! [/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font] |

first name of your character & first name of my character I could see these two possibly being friends. Carson has been riding since he turned three. Currently his only loves are horses and cars. So they could bound over that. Like Emmy, Carson would probably bug him about the cross country program. relationship type TABLE BY TRINITY @ CAUTION 2.0 & ATF |

NATHAN & AZARIA
Ugh agreed. We'll leave it up to in-character chemistry for now, but it'd definitely be something.
NATHAN & EMMY
He'd find her acccent funny and be amused by her pestering, for the most part. Showjumping and cross country are the only two English events he has a real passion for, so he'd be able to understand her on some level, and work with her easily. I can imagine they'd have a teasing, playful sort of relationship, constantly being asshats to one another for the hell of it. He's kinda bad at jumping so I can imagine her mocking him all the time, his two point sucks. Hah!
NATHAN & CARSON
Cross country is definitely his 'field' when it comes to English. He thinks it's a total badass discipline and would have a hell of a lot of respect for Carson because of it. And hey, cars. They'd probably have 'boys will be boys' moments and derp over cars or something.
