Simon - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Simon is a young, exceptionally talented wizard whose raw magical abilities are both a gift and a curse. In "Equal Rites," he plays a pivotal role as a student at the Unseen University, where his immense power attracts both admiration and danger. His character explores themes of knowledge, power, and the balance between intellect and emotion in the Discworld universe.
Physical Appearance
Simon is depicted as a somewhat awkward, gangly young man with an air of distracted brilliance. He often wears the traditional robes of a wizard, which seem slightly too large for his thin frame, giving him a perpetually disheveled appearance. His hair is a wild, untamed mop of curls that seems to have a life of its own, and he peers out at the world through large, round spectacles that magnify his curious, intense eyes. Simon's overall look is one of a young man lost in thought, with ink stains on his fingers and a tendency to trip over his own robes.
