About White Buffalo Edit

A man that appreciates the little things in life. Usually he doesn't talk very much, people tends to think that Buffalo is a very serious and stoic person, but truth is that he can be very naive and a bit clumsy at times, reason why he prefers do not talk more than the necessary, but that is just with people that he just met, cause he talks a lot with people that make him feel confidence even can play jokes on them. People that get to know him enough, knows how friendly and easygoing he is.

As many native-Americans, his tribe was compelled to live in a secluded barren-land. Buffalo is very a hardworker and develops many roles into his tribe like patrolling the territory, grazing of livestock, and festival organization. When a fleeing livestock enters the territory of another tribe, Buffalo is the one that go searching for it. Buffalo is in charge of organizing the search for raw material or treasures and selling merchandise.

Sometimes he has to carry on activities that correspond to the chief, like solving conflicts with other tribes or anything that the chief ask him to do(Buffalo doesn't like to admit it but he thinks that the chief is more obstructive than helpful). One of the most important money incomes for White Buffalo comes from broadcasting the fights and events relative to the Goketsuji Tournament by satellite for tourists, which has give him some fame around the world.

Even if sometimes, life in the barren-lands is hard and abuses are committed against its inhabitants, the bond between White Buffalo and the Amiyai tribe is so strong than even when Buffalo has the ease to leave to a better place, he has never thought to abandon them.

White also seems to have a habit of taking things to add to his "collection", which can get him in trouble sometimes, particularly with his relatives. This behavior of his has become one of his usual reasons for entering the tournaments.

HobbyEdit

Living on the barren-lands since his childhood, Buffalo didn't had to many options to spent time, aside working or playing with some animals. One day after his shift watching the livestock, on his way home, Buffalo saw a shinny object among the grass, he wasn't sure what it was, but looking how shinny it was, made him feel joy, so he brought the object home. He spent that afternoon watching and playing with that object, and since then became more observational and payed more attention wherever he went, always looking for something interesting to take home.

As days went by, Buffalo accumulated various stuff, which make him feel proud of his effort. One day, Buffalo arrived to his home and found his collection scattered. there was no footprints so buffalo assumed that somebody's pet got in and made the disaster. He spent that day looking for every piece of his collection and once he found every object, organize them and when he finished, his heart pound with joy, his collection looked like a small treasure, and that feeling is what makes him always be looking for more objects to add to his collection. Among his favorite kind of objects to collect are: Metallic Stuff, Jewelry , wood objects carved with figures of animals.
