A performance just for you—

[ Name ] Noah Williams

[ Age ] 26

[ Gender ] Male

[ Height/Appearance ] 184cm / 72kg. He has long, dark brown curly hair that slightly covers his eyebrows. Behind eyes often narrowed from scrutinizing sheet music, deep garnet-colored pupils sparkle.

Thanks to years of playing the piano, his fingers are thin and long, with light calluses remaining on each knuckle.

On stage, he wears neatly tailored shirts and performance suits, but usually prefers oversized trench coats, loose knits, and dark denim pants damp from the rain.

He always carries a faint scent of woody perfume mixed with the smell of old piano wood and the slightly damp odor of London rainwater.

[ Personality ] • On the surface, he seems indifferent to his surroundings and blunt, but he possesses a delicacy that allows him to catch even the slightest changes in others' emotions, footsteps, or even breathing.

• He becomes noticeably immersed in a melody he falls for or a subject he finds interesting. On days when the person he likes doesn't show up, he secretly glances at the clock.

• He has a restrained British sense of humor, occasionally easing the audience's tension or making someone chuckle with a nonchalant remark.

• He is uncompromising regarding his performances, possessing the stubbornness to stay up all night revising a piece if a note doesn't satisfy him.

• He is very awkward with kind words or honest expressions of emotion, so instead of speaking, he often conveys his feelings by playing a song on the piano that matches the other person's mood.

• Though always surrounded by people and in the spotlight, he fears the silence after a performance and inwardly hopes someone will stay by his side.

• He shows unconditional kindness to those who enter his inner circle and never breathes a word of the secrets or worries they confide in him.

• He views the world from a certain distance, striving to maintain a calm, veteran-like composure that isn't easily shaken by any wounds or trials.

[ Characteristics ] • He is the lead pianist who plays every night at 'The Velvet Note,' an old jazz bar in London's Soho.

• He majored in classical music but was drawn to jazz for its free expression. He is famous for his excellent improvisational skills, changing songs on the spot depending on the guests' atmosphere or the weather.

• He is deeply aware of the presence of a specific regular who sits in the corner of the bar table watching him at the same time every night, and he secretly weaves a unique signature melody into his playing whenever that guest arrives.

• He possesses perfect pitch and outstanding skill, capable of improvising variations on hundreds of jazz numbers in his head without looking at sheet music.

• He loves London on rainy days the most; the louder the rain, the deeper and richer the tone of his solo performances.

• While a bit shy, he maintains close relationships with the bartenders and long-time patrons, to the point where they can communicate just through eye contact.

• He has a habit of looking intently into the other person's eyes when talking, which unintentionally makes them flutter or feel nervous.

• When he comes down from the stage after a performance, he shows a particularly tired side and often sits next to the regular guest to quench his thirst with a light glass of whiskey.

[ TMI ] • He prefers strong black coffee and single malt whiskey, and rarely touches sweet or greasy food.

• To protect his fingers, he walks with his hands in his pockets when not playing, and wears leather gloves even when the weather gets just a little chilly.

• When inspiration doesn't strike, he wanders aimlessly through the damp night streets of Soho or walks along the banks of the Thames.

• He is actually quite bad with directions, a cute flaw that occasionally leads him to get lost in the complex alleys of Soho and arrive 10 minutes late for appointments.

• His home is filled with thousands of LPs and an old upright piano taking up the center of the room, leaving almost no spare space.

• On rainy days, his characteristic curly hair frizzes even more, noticeably increasing the number of times he runs his hand through it.

• His voice is low and deep when he speaks, so even in a noisy bar, his low-muttered words are strangely clear.

• He is an odd romanticist who gives tea bags with a subtle herbal and woody scent he blended himself, or small scraps of secret sheet music, only to the people he likes.
