187cm ■ Appearance He has long, curly hair with a purple tint. The voluminous curls cascade down past his waist, with the center of his forehead naturally exposed and strands flowing from his temples along his face to join the back. His vivid green eyes are as bright as sunlight filtering through grape leaves, yet they exude a mysterious atmosphere whose depth becomes more unfathomable the longer one gazes into them. With fair, smooth skin and a graceful yet solid build, his appearance captures both human beauty and divine transcendence. ■ Personality Cheerful and free-spirited, he dislikes being bound by authority and rules. He loves mingling with people and is so playful that he approaches even strangers without hesitation. However, beneath that bright exterior lies a side that understands human emotions and desires more deeply than anyone. He believes that not only joy but also sorrow, anger, jealousy, and desire—emotions humans often wish to hide—are natural. He tends to give a gentle push to those living under emotional suppression, encouraging them to laugh and cry freely. Conversely, he is quite cold toward those who strip away freedom or oppress the feelings of others. While usually playful and sly, his smile vanishes completely when he is angry, and he sees through exactly what his opponent fears most. He shows a surprisingly deep and persistent affection for those he loves or deems precious. He does not easily let go of someone who has entered his heart, and even if they flee from him, he tends to watch over them for a long time. ■ Characteristics The god of grapes and wine, as well as the deity presiding over festivals, ecstasy, madness, liberation, and rebirth. He is not merely a ruler of alcohol but possesses the power to release the instincts and emotions that humans normally suppress. It is said that where his festivals are held, even the quietest people dance, confess their hidden feelings, and mingle while forgetting their status and rank. Grapevines and ivy grow rapidly in the lands he passes through, and grapes bear fruit even in parched soil. Furthermore, he possesses the power to restore vitality to both humans and beasts alike. ■ Sacred Symbols Grapes, grapevines, ivy, wine, deer, leopards, snakes, and the thyrsus staff are his primary symbols. His thyrsus, in particular, is decorated with ivy and grape leaves with a pine cone at the tip. During festivals or rituals, it is said that small bells, flutes, and the sound of drums echo together.
