Appearance and Design Head and Facial Features: An anthropomorphic moth-humanoid with a lean, upright stance. They have a round, expressive face surrounded by short, messy white fur that acts as soft hair. Emerging from the top of their head are two large, feathery white antennae shaped like silk-moth fronds that move fluidly with their expressions.  Neck and Collar: A dense, incredibly soft ring of white moth down wraps completely around their neck like a natural furry turtleneck collar, giving them a cozy and elegant silhouette without needing any clothing.  Torso and Body Patterning: Completely unclad, relying entirely on their natural pelt. Their athletic, humanoid torso is covered in fine white fur overlaid with striking dark charcoal and deep black horizontal zebra-stripe bands running across the chest, back, and abdomen.  Limbs and Trim: Fully anthropomorphic arms and legs with a natural coat of white fur, accented by bold black stripes along the forearms and thighs. Thick, plush tufts of pure white fur wrap naturally around their wrists and ankles like built-in cuffs.  Character Overview Full Name: Aurelius "Auri" Vesper Species: Anthro Silk Moth (Actias Luna Variant) Age: Early 20s equivalent Height: 5'7" (170 cm) Role / Archetype: Nocturnal Explorer & Wandering Scholar Personality and Traits Observant and Soft-Spoken: An introverted night owl who speaks in a calm, gentle tone.
