I'd prefer the second, but either is acceptable, I guess.

Not really sure, perhaps two or three levels higher.

 [spoiler=Character Background and Description]
At his Shked Gotje received his ceremonial dagger, symbolizing that he could now begin to defend himself.  Soon after his father Ioudo Walo imparted to him his first real dagger which he called Skanto.  It had been his father's first dagger and his father's first dagger before him.  It was in the tradition of his family that until one showed his prowess in battle he would fight with this dagger.  Only after he had proven himself would he receive a weapon crafted just for him.  
In the years after his Shked, Gotje began to learn to hunt and gather food for his family, to track beasts by their prints, droppings, and their grazing patterns.  This was all in preparation for when he would marry and support his wife and children and become an active member of his village.  Towards this end he also began looking for a wife.  Courtship, however, was not his strongest suit.  Gotje was awkward and tentative around women and oftentimes he made a fool of himself.  For help understanding the female he begged his twin sister Tudimina for help.  They spent many hours together, Tudimina teaching Gotje how to behave around a woman and watching him struggle to adapt her instructions to a practical use.  They became a team, and their bond grew.  He grew to love his sister as a partner as well as a sister.  They made much progress, and Gotje embarrassed himself less and less with each successive attempt.  At the age of sixteen they Gotje entered into the courtship of their third cousin Alalji.  This went very well for Gotje and he frequently reported his progress to Tudimina with much excitement, and she would respond in kind.  
Not long after this courtship resulted in an engagement, Tudimina found herself the subject of a suitor for her hand and found herself likewise engaged.  This was a surprisingly unpleasant shock for Gotje, who had become quite attached to his sister and could not comprehend her leaving him.  He had always thought it quite plain that she would come to live with him and his wife.  It had never occurred to him that she might marry another.  He grew jealous and protective of her, finding faults everywhere in the character of her fiancée.  The two nearly came to blows on rare occasions, and Gotje's family looked on him with shame.  Tudimina was touched at his concern, but troubled by his disapproval.  She went to him and he told her what he'd come to realize.  His marriage to Alalji was not because of any attachment to her, but because a man must find a wife and so the marriage was an accomplishment.  But he did not care for Alalji.  Over the years of searching, he had grown to love Tudimina.
He knew then and there that he would have to leave.  One could not love his own sister, not in that way.  It was not allowed.  He could never marry her because they were born of the same womb.  It was best to leave now before he let himself get drawn in any further.  But he stayed.  And at this moment when he revealed himself to his beloved, his sister, he just sat there as she looked at him.  He could not bring himself to take his eyes from her.  He could not bring himself to leave her side.  She stood and turned and walked the other way.  He watched her go, not knowing what was going through her head.  It was not until she left his sight that he could find the strength to move.  Still he did not leave.
Tudimina's wedding came first, as the arrangements of Gotje's marriage to Alalji were more difficult and required a later date.  On the first day of the ceremony he sat with his betrothed as they prayed and paid respects to the ancestors and asked for the blessing of Tudimina and Akero, the bridegroom.  Gotje felt the lie in his heart as he asked for the blessing of the marriage and he grew ever more disgusted of his own bride-to-be.  He took his leave early, wandering the hills surrounding their village and thinking to himself.  He barely noticed the falling of the sun give way to the rising of the moon as the blue sky faded to black.  He did not notice the stars, nor the shining of the moon in full.  He noticed nothing until he found that he had wandered to where the village was a patch of flecks of light.  He knew he had been gone for hours and it would take him hours more to return home.  Gotje took the stony path, trudging slowly and carefully, so as to avoid injuring his feet on the sharp rocks, winding his way back home.
When he arrived, it was daybreak.  He had gone the night without sleep and was feeling tired.  He strode into his family's longhouse and made his way towards his cot at the back.  There was his sister Tudimina, bathing in preparation for her wedding ceremony, the water sparkling on her smooth dark skin.  He just looked at her glistening body in its full glory.  He had seen her naked before, but that was years ago, when they were children and such things did not matter.  She caught sight of his staring and gave a start, but made no move to cover herself up.  Instead she stood and stepped from the watery basin, letting him take in her beauty.  Overcome he gripped her to him; all fatigue had vanished, and he made love to her.
They never saw one another again.  They were discovered in bed and already the wheels of justice began.  Accusations were flung everywhere, shouts of incest and adultery.  Tudimina tried to confess, but Gotje would not allow her to.  He took the blame for her, claiming to have come upon her and raped her and that it was only her love for a brother that drove her to protect him now.  It was he who was the adulterer and incestor and he who had forced her on her very wedding day to bed with him.  It was he who had done it out of jealousy of her bridegroom and with the intent to do him harm.  They dragged Gotje and Tudimina away from one another.  Gotje was sent off to become one of the Auarh, the Outcastes, banished from his village forever.  
Now Gotje wanders in shame.  He seeks to find himself, to regain lost honor and dignity, and to end his suffering.  Sometimes he wishes to die a glorious death, sometimes he hopes he shall someday see Tudimina again.  Sometimes he adventures from boredom, or to relieve the numbness he feels living day to day.  Sometimes he merely wanders because he has nowhere to return home to.  He is Gotje the Wanderer.
