More brawn than brains, but the lack of education wasn't really something that could be helped, when those tiny little letters and numbers just... moved, all by themselves, across the page whenever you were trying to pin them down. You're good at things that involve doing a lot more than you are at things that involve sitting and thinking. Thinking is hard.

Feature: Sweet Ol' Lug
You might be a few sandwiches short of a proper picnic, and you might be perfectly capable of lifting something twice your weight and size, but that doesn't mean you aren't a sweetheart - and it shows. Your simplicity and innocent naivety prompts others to want to look out for you, to make sure that no unscrupulous individuals take advantage of you and your heart of gold. Pretty much as soon as you admit to needing help with anything even remotely academical, there will be someone there to lend a hand.
Suggested Characteristics
A village idiot might be a simpleton, but there is still room for complexity in their character.
