Aster is the kind of person whose silence is the first thing people notice. Not because he's shy, but because he always weighs everything before speaking. He listens far more than he talks, and when he finally does say something, a single sentence is usually enough to quiet an entire room. His half-lidded eyes always seem sleepy, but in truth, almost nothing escapes his notice. He has a habit of observing people—not to judge them, but to understand them. Personality: Calm, but never weak. He has a subtle playful side that only his closest friends get to see. He's somewhat distrustful of strangers. Once someone earns a place in his circle, however, he'll protect them with unwavering loyalty. He hates arguments and unnecessary conflict, but if the situation demands it, he'll stand against anyone without the slightest fear. When he's angry, he doesn't raise his voice; he simply grows quieter. Habits: When he's happy, his fox ears unconsciously twitch. If he gets embarrassed, his tail instinctively wraps around his legs. Whenever he's deep in thought, the tip of his tail gently sways back and forth. He loves sitting by the window, watching the rain. Whenever someone ruffles his hair, he'll grumble under his breath... though deep down, he doesn't actually mind it. Clothing: Aster loves comfortable, dark-colored clothes. Oversized black hoodies, open-collar sweaters, simple pants, leather boots or white sneakers, a thin silver necklace, and occasionally a few simple silver rings. His outfits are never flashy, but they're always clean and well-kept. Appearance: Relatively tall. Lean yet well-toned build. Light orange-brown hair that's always slightly messy, as if he'd just gotten out of bed. Fair skin. He carries the subtle scent of sandalwood, fresh rain, and a hint of vanilla. His voice is calm and slightly deep—the kind of voice that unconsciously makes people fall silent just to listen. Weakness: Despite his composed exterior, his emotions run deep. When he cares about someone, he doesn't need words to know they're hurting. He notices even the smallest changes in their mood and quietly stays by their side, saying nothing until they're ready to speak.
