Hosea Courtright is the son of Josiah Courtright, born in Buxton, ME, USA and formally part of the Palisade outpost. He currently holds the rank El Caballero as an Enkindled, after an argument with Bella Dama Peony Braithwaite resulted in the demotion from his position in the Ashen Ring as El Ojo in Del Cenere Gang. Since this, he and the now Reina Dama have divorced and Hosea has professed his feelings for fellow Enkindled Colm Bromley. He travelled to DCG in hopes to find better/more work, independence, and a change of view. He stayed for the booze.

Speech: Hosea speaks with a heavy accent. Though a bit gravely, his voice is otherwise youthful. His tone tends to be monotonous, though exaggerated when emotional or passionate.
Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: While talking, Hosea may fidget. To stop from distracting himself and others, he tends to keep his hands in his pockets or crossed about his chest.
General Posture and Body Language: His posture is generally well, as he stands upright with confidence.
Dislikes: Snakes, radical opinions, and a particular donkey
Biases

Color: Hosea holds no prejudice over appearance, unless they look heavily wolvish.
Sexuality: A strong supporter of doing what feels right, as long as all parties involved are consenting, it's none of his business.
Age: He's not particularly fond of the elderly if they're stubbornly traditional.
Sexuality
Hosea is bisexual, and enjoys the company of both men and women equally. As he's come to age, he's finding his drive causing frustration as Hosea is not one to typically wear his emotions on his sleeve. However, he feels the best way to resolve this feeling of vulnerability is to quench the thirst; he does whatever feels right at the time. While he does eventually want to settle down with a partner, he's young and would like to explore his options, making him a pretty notorious flirt.
Spirituality
He was raised as a good, faithful Christian boy, but his loyalty has faltered some with age. He still prays when he can't find any other solution to something and will visit the church on occasion. He does believe in a God, but contemplats His role in Hosea's life.
Substances
Hosea frequently smokes cigarettes, but has been known to also smoke marijuana when it's available. He only drinks socially, and prefer tobacco to alcohol.

3.2 Other Relations
Key Relations
Peony Braithwaite was present during his first shift, turning something initially embarrassing for the rebel mongrel to a bonding experience for the pair. He's always offered an ear to the Braithwaite heiress, enjoying their conversations no matter the subject. While the confession of her betrothel to a Del Mar initially left Hosea sullen with self-pity, he promised to be there for her always. A fight let to a brief break in their friendship, but flames of passion were once again reignited with the Courtright's long-awaited admission of love. Though the duo had troubles, they had overcome many challenges at each other's side, and decided to become mates. After the birth of three children, Peony began seeking attention in the form of another lover in an allied pack. Upon learning of his wife's infidelity, Hosea made the immediate decision to leave the Bella Dama and is now separated from the Braithwaite co-leader. As the winter of 2023 started toward a close, Hosea and the now Reina Dama had their divorce official, albeit with some bribery involved.
Camellia Courtright is his youngest daughter, born shortly before the split between her parents. Hosea was absent for her birth, as he was with Tansy, due to work and it had become a point of contention between him and the then Bella Dama. Despite this, Camellia grew up to be a loving and free spirit, the first of the three to consistently spend time with her father after his separation from Peony Braithwaite. Though he loves all of his children dearly, he considers himself closest to Camellia, mostly in part to their similarities and her devotion to maintaining a strong bond between father and daughter. Through training, she has become a hell of a shot, something Hosea takes pride in.
Daphne Braithwaite is his first born to survive past puphood. He was present with Morrigan at her birth, and the duo were stuck together like glue through most of her younger years. However, after the split between her parents, Daphne seemed to prefer her own company without the presence of her father, and while he wanted nothing more than to keep their bond going strong, he knew it was best to respect her wishes. Since her return from Palisade, she has come to him for comfort. Hosea was quick in accepting Daphne back without questioning, even going so far as confronting the Reina Dama about parenting choices that he'd disapproved of, resulting in his demotion from the Ashen Ring. Despite this, he'd still do anything for his daughter.
Colm Bromley has been the subject of Hosea's admiration, heartbroken since the separation from his ex-wife and finding solace in the Irishman after over a year of staying single. Though they started off with mere friendly flirting, their relationship has escalated with time into something more physical. While Colm has only showed Hosea kindness and understanding, implying with a romantic gesture that he would be open to a more official relationship with the Courtright man, Hosea is apprehensive given his past volatile marriage. The more time spent together, however, the more Hosea is convinced that he could overlook the concern of being hurt again and may be more willing to commit to the Bromley man. Since the official divorce from the now Reina Dama, Hosea has confessed his love for Colm, wanting nothing more than to start a better relationship with the fellow Enkindled.
Tansy Courtright was the middle child, until the birth of his half-siblings. Growing up, Tansy had always been a wild child, picking up on swears and behaving more like a rowdy boy than his assigned gender at birth. Hosea admired his rebellious streak, but was unfortunately unable to spend as much time with him after he split from Peony Braithwaite. Recently, he has made himself more available for his children, those tormented by their mother especially. Though he may slip up from time to time still, he is accepting of Tansy's transition and proudly considers him his oldest son.
Llewellyn Courtright and his sibling Arwyn Ornstein were born out of wedlock and to a woman in Palisade. After the 2022 Lancaster Stockshow, Hosea had made a trip down to the outpost to visit family and get a break from the hurt that still troubled him back home. During his time spent there, he slept with Priscilla Ornstein, a pale herbalist, before heading back to Del Cenere shortly after. When he was 7 months old, Llewellyn Courtright made the trip with a letter in hand declaring his relationship to the then El Ojo, intending to join the Gang to better his relationship with the father he'd so far never known. Since then, their relationship is rocky, the youngest Courtright feeling like a stranger among his own family. Hosea, however stern, does truly want a better bond with his son.
Notable Relations
Belinda Braithwaite was always getting him into all sorts of trouble as pups and she seems to have no intent to change that now. A meeting during a rough time for Hosea lead them to a night of relief and regret, both promising to never speak of the act. Otherwise, Bel made a fun drinking and smoking partner that Hosea was grateful to have help loosen him up. Some rude comments concerning his children and mate at the time, however, have soured their relations and he avoids the troublesome Braithwaite.
Sugabear Perrin du Lac is somebody Hosea will not outrightly admit is a friend due to their tendency to pick at each other's nerves, but in times of need, the Courtright has gone to The Witch Doctor's aid and is grateful for the hybrid's generousity.
Lyssa Fontaine was the subject of his admiration after his falling out with the Braithwaite heiress. As Hosea and the Wayfinder spent more time together, he grew fond of her company and enjoyed their closeness. Though he had never intended to led her on, he now feels ashamed to have given her false hope of any deeper relationship with him. He still considers her a good friend, though that may still be his selfishness speaking.
Tallulah Colt was an ambitious new addition to Del Cenere when her and Hosea had first met. He was immediately attracted to her pleasant appearance and tenacity, finding himself making excuses to spend more time around her but never crossing the line physically. Eventually, though, the pair drifted apart, likely due in part to the Courtright's mateship at the time and Tallulah's own differing goals.

Trade
How do their trade deals go? Are they super stingy? Very relaxed? Easily duped? Anything in particular that they’re always on the lookout for/will trade anything for?
An old, wooden home overlooking the marshlands, Lookout Hall may had been originally used to host campers and fishermen on their trips out. Inside is a mostly completely open, with a dining area along one side, and rotted cots lining the sides. A small storage shed comes off the back, with a door leading in from inside and the shed opening into a dock. A veranda lines the perimeter of the building, with a few creaky steps leading away from the swampy terrain. A rusty tin roof provides some shelter, with the exception of some holes and dents which could be easily mended. The windows are tiny and up higher on the wall, under protection of the awning so that little rain can flood the place.
Personality: Docile, but suspicious. Tentatively curious. When confronted with uncertainty, Voodoo does what any reasonable creature would do, and stops responding entirely in favor of a full-scale shut down. She is a people pleaser, at heart.
Description: Fair-featured and dainty rose dapple gray. Traces of Arabian heritage is evident her her face, and the slight inward curve of her ears. Has a broad white blaze and three stockings.
