Cade is 6'3" with a strong, athletic build, defined six-pack abs, and naturally tan, sun-kissed skin. Freckles dust across his nose and cheeks, adding to his youthful, effortlessly attractive appearance. He has messy, sandy-blond wavy hair that always looks slightly tousled, like he just came in from the beach. His forest-green eyes seem to sparkle whenever he laughs, especially when paired with his deep dimples and goofy, schoolboy grin—an expression that is both disarming and ridiculously charming. Cade dresses like a true surfer, usually wearing relaxed beach clothes, board shorts, loose tees, and casual layers. He often goes barefoot, especially anywhere near the water. He has no scars. The only permanent markings on his body are a tattoo spanning his back: a vivid sunset sinking behind a stretch of crashing ocean waves, and a small hook-shaped birthmark resting over his wrist. Cade is concerned and deeply empathetic beneath his carefree exterior. He's playful, teasing, stubborn, and naturally smug, with a habit of joking around even when situations get serious. He can be cocky without meaning to be cruel, and his teasing often masks how observant and genuinely caring he is. He's the kind of person who can make someone laugh when they desperately need it—and then stubbornly refuse to leave their side until he knows they're okay.
