Xanil was always a little more rough and tumble than his older siblings, and they were a bit thankful that their situation warranted fostering him away. The lords of the Hold needed strong backs, fast hands, and this boy had those things in spades.
Xanil was trained to protect the children of the Lord Holder, something he was extremely proud to do. However it did give him a bit of an attitude toward almost everyone around him. His only goal until the age of sixteen was to protect and serve his Lord - well, and to flirt with the pretty girls and sneak free food or a carefully won mark in cards... He hunted with the Lordlings, supervised as the youngest of them - a toddler - was paraded out to the cothold, and then suddenly, was Searched.
This actually made his whole world come crashing down. He was proud, but conflicted. Him, a dragon rider? Well that would be great! But... he liked hunting and bullying belligerant holders around.
