tho gold also seems the type to not really need a backstory... i mean, he doesnt seem like hes had any motivating childhood trauma, in fact, his backstory might be kinda dull. hes cheerful, open-minded and annoying, that really doesnt scream "DARK PAST" like silvers attitude does. as for the eyes, all the characters have eyes the color of their names. blue even said in a flashback that she would call him silver because his eyes were silver in color. they might not change it, after all... and its not like gold is the only one without a backstory. red doesnt, and yellow only has a mini one. gold didnt even really set off with a particular goal in mind, like i said earlier, hes just a tagalong. either his backstory is nothing special, just a happy kid story, or maybe... maybe its something more. hes immature, or maybe he lost his innocence too soon. his dad is never mentioned... maybe gold had some traumatic experience having to do with his father. hes cheerful, but cant that also mean he knows pain and torment well, but doesnt want others to know, and so he hides it? hes honest and true-hearted, true, but couldnt that just be a facade? what if hes like ruby and sapphire, and only is the way he is because something in his past has made him afraid of being otherwise? sorry, i rambled and went on a bit long there. its about quarter to three where i am, and after midnight is when i do my best thinking.
