To fly at high altitudes, you need both bravery and perseverance. To fly at low altitude you need to be quick on your feet and have strength. To fly at all you need to be willing to give up what you know and toss caution to the wind. [/center]

HISTORY||
Väinämöinen grew up in Turku, Finland, a small town centered around an ancient castle. His parents owned an equine rescue and rehabilitation center, with a decent sized property and field. Väinä always loved working with horses since he was a child, and went on his first ride by himself on Vista, a calm old workhorse, when he was six. Väinämöinen always took care of the horses at the center, and once he was old enough, even drove out with his parents to rescue neglected and abused equines. His first rehabilitation was a horse named Hero. A beautiful bay thoroughbred, Hero's hooves were fractured and rotted, his weight also on the downside. Väinä cared for him night and day, and happy and healthy, Hero is now used to help teach students about horses at multiple schools. Väinämöinen never stopped loving his first rescue, though one stood out from the rest.
Auriga was his own mount, born close to his thirteenth birthday. A strong paint, Väinä raised him himself, and used him in multiple contests, both showings and races. By doing this, he helped raise money to keep his parent's center running. Väinämöinen and Auriga have run twenty ribbons in all, though only seven of those are first place. Together, they have won three trophies as well.
Väinämöinen got his love for the skies when his own class took a trip to an observatory. While all the others were being shown the lower levels of the telescope, And looking quite bored, Väinä simply couldn't stop looking through it. He was entranced by the Orion Nebula's spectacle of colors when Zachary Brown, a visiting astronomer, walked in on him. Zachary asked him if he was lost, and Väinä said no, he knew where the group was. When asked what he was doing, Väinämöinen simply grinned and replied that he was looking at a nebula. Zachary offered to show him more, and identified each star, constellation, or deep sky object that came into view. Väinä would almost attack the telescope to see, and after his (very angry) teacher came to collect him, he avoided a good scolding when Zachary told her how much of an avid stargazer he was. As soon as he was home, Väinämöinen told his parents everything he saw. Since then, he has gone out nightly to see the sky, and has taken multiple courses in Highschool on earth/space and stellar sciences.
Väinämöinen plans to attend the Royal Academy to continue his dream, though definitely is not happy with the street lights blocking out his stars.

"...So you're set on this?"
The man at the table watched the younger with keen eyes, popping a forkful of potato into his mouth. As he chewed, the young man at the opposite end simply shrugged and flashed those white teeth in a smile.
"I don't sei a'y problems with it. B'Sides, doesn't New York have a bay?"
Väinämöinen was greeted with a heavy sigh, "Yes, they do, but think. You really want to move all the way to Ame'ica?"
It was the son's turn to frown, "You're making theis sound as 'f I'm leav'ng for'ver..."
Shaking his head, the older man didn't reply, only taking another bite of his dinner. Väinämöinen sipped at his own drink, before replying, "It 's what I want. 'S the on'y schoul that off'rs Astr'nmy as a major..." He was cut off by a dismissive wave of his father's hand. Väinä could see the defeat in his father's eyes, knowing that he had won, but something still felt wrong. He loved his home in Finland, of course he did! But there were bigger opportunities he had to follow up on. "'M com'ng back, You kn'w. Ev-er-y s'mmer," he accented the words by tapping his finger on the tabletop, "'and ev'ry break, too."
Tino Hekkilä simply shook his head with a small smile, "If I know you, you'll be diving over your breaks. But we'd still l've to have you for the holidays."
"'Course, fath'r. I wouldn't miss any for the world." Väinä got up to wrap his strong arms over his father's neck, grinning, "And 'll still cook my part."
Tino swatted off his son playfully on the shoulder, shrugging him off, "Then why aren't you packing already? Ship leaves tomorrow." He brought a ticket out from his pocket, provoking a surprised expression from the golden-haired younger.
"Moi, moi, moi! kiitos, kiitos!" Väinä clapped his hands together, giving his father another tight hug, before rushing down the hallway. The jingling of a bell announced that Lynx, the young Fin's cat, had joined the wild sprint.
Tino Hekkilä chuckled lightly, returning to his dinner with a shake of his head. He would miss the boy...
