About
Antoine Beaumont's feet pound the track, each stride echoing the rhythm of his relentless training. He's got a lucky charm tucked in his shoe—a small, worn-out feather from his childhood pet bird, Whisper, who always seemed to know when he needed a win.
Backstory
Twelve surgeries couldn't fix what the mining accident took from Theodore Beaumont's legs, but they couldn't stop him from coaching his grandson to run like the wind he'd never feel beneath his feet again. Antoine discovered his gift not on polished tracks but in the cramped hospital corridors, racing between physical therapy sessions to fetch forgotten medications, his childhood companion Whisper perched on his shoulder as nurses cheered his lightning-fast returns. The day Whisper died was the same day Antoine broke his first regional record, and Theodore whispered through tears that some victories cost more than defeats—a lesson that transformed a simple feather into something sacred. Now, with each race, Antoine carries not just his grandfather's broken dreams made whole, but the memory of a bird who taught him that even the smallest wings can lift the heaviest hearts.
