Andrei the Russian Tortoise

Name: Andrei
Age: 32 ((that makes him in his mid 60's in people years!))
Species: Russian Tortoise
Eye Color: Dark brown, almost black
Physical Description: http://www.sdturtle.org/images/russian-tortoise-0007.jpg Andrei has a few dings and scratches here and there on his shell, and several scars on his mouth.
Bio: For most of his younger years, Andrei spent his time escaping the pet trade. Most of his family and friends were taken away long before he finally found himself as a pet as well. At the age of 25, he was purchased by a small child and his family. Although he was housed and fed regularly, the child treated him rather roughly and took him everywhere. One day, while out visiting family, Andrei was forgotten out in the yard. He took the abandonment as a blessing. For the past two years, he has traveled with Jhansi.
Personality: Andrei is proud and stubborn, and insists that only persistance and strength will get you anywhere in life. He refuses to even let his speed slow him down, and often times grabs the end of Jhansi's tail with his mouth and hangs on for dear life if they need to run. He also talks about himself in third person quite a lot.
Any individual traits: Andrei sports scars around his mouth from his previous owner's attempts at feeding him things he couldn't eat. Fake plastic food cut up his mouth time and time again.
Funfacts: Andrei treasures three things- large females, grapes, and even if he doesn't admit it, Jhansi.
