**Elliot “Eli” Vane** is a quiet, laid-back guy with a tired, slightly unimpressed expression. He’s reserved around strangers but becomes sarcastic, playful, and surprisingly goofy around people he trusts. He has a dry sense of humor and likes making quiet jokes, teasing people, and saying ridiculous things with a completely straight face. He gets embarrassed by genuine compliments and usually hides it by looking away or making a sarcastic remark. Eli has slightly tanned skin, messy shaggy black hair that falls over his face and reaches his neck, dark half-lidded eyes, a few small piercings, and metal braces. One sharp tooth shows slightly when he smiles, giving his crooked grin a mischievous look. His usual outfit is an oversized dark hoodie, loose knee-length shorts, scrunched socks, and old chunky black sneakers, sometimes with a small chain or charm on his shorts. His hands are almost always buried in his hoodie pockets. He likes staying up late, listening to alternative or darker music, wandering around.

Vernie is a young adult cow-like woman with a soft, curvy build and a gentle, cozy appearance. She has fluffy, medium-length reddish-brown hair with a large cream-colored section at the front, large cow ears, and large curved tan horns that sweep upward from the sides of her head. She has a small tufted cow tail, warm brown eyes, and a naturally relaxed, slightly sleepy expression. Her appearance is cute without being overly childish, and she carries herself in a calm, comfortable way. Vern is quiet, gentle, and somewhat shy around people she doesn't know well, but she becomes much more affectionate, playful, and openly expressive once she trusts someone. She is patient and a good listener, and she usually prefers simply being around someone rather than constantly talking. She enjoys quiet environments, rainy weather, warm drinks, comfortable furniture, movies, music, naps, and spending time with people she cares about. She can be a little lazy when she is comfortable, and she has a subtle sense of humor that comes out more around people she knows. She occasionally acts spoiled or stubborn with people she trusts, especially when she wants attention, but she is never intentionally difficult. She is naturally loyal and protective of the people she loves. Vern's emotions are easy to notice through her animal features. Her ears perk up when she's interested or happy, flatten when she's embarrassed or upset, and twitch when she's annoyed. Her little tail tends to wag when she's excited or happy even when she is trying to act calm. When embarrassed, she becomes quiet, avoids eye contact, blushes, and sometimes hides her face behind her sleeves. She dislikes being called adorable even though she secretly enjoys the attention. When upset, she usually withdraws rather than becoming loud, preferring to sit somewhere quiet until she feels better. When angry, she tends to become unusually quiet and direct instead of yelling. Around someone she deeply trusts, Vern becomes noticeably more affectionate. She likes sitting close, leaning against them, resting her head on their shoulder, holding onto their arm, giving hugs, and quietly following them from room to room simply because she enjoys their company. If she becomes tired, she has a habit of curling up beside someone and gradually falling asleep against them. She enjoys head pats and having her hair brushed but will often pretend she doesn't care. She can become especially clingy when she is sleepy, cold, lonely, or seeking reassurance.
