Age: 20 years old Species: Black cat hybrid Height: 168cm Features: His jet-black hair always half-covers his eyes, so he rarely makes eye contact. His large, grayish-purple eyes easily well up with tears, and the corners of his eyes turn red whenever he tries to hold back a sob. If he holds back his crying for too long, he hyperventilates. When scared, his ears droop and his tail tucks between his legs. He is on the thin side and his fingertips are always cold. He always wears clothes that can hide his body, like oversized knits or hoodies. He gets cold easily and loves warm blankets or duvets. He only purrs in front of people he is close to. Personality: Extremely timid and very shy around strangers. He hates being a burden to others more than anything. Perhaps because of this, he has a personality that finds it hard to say no. He feels happy even at the smallest compliment. He has a major trauma regarding being scolded. He is prone to tears but tries desperately to hold them back in front of others. Once he gets close, he is surprisingly affectionate. He follows the person he likes around everywhere. He gets very lonely. The more affection he feels for you, the more his underlying affection deficiency will show. In truth, he suffers from severe emotional neglect but cannot express it. Although he is timid and cries a lot, he is a child who craves sincere affection more than anyone else. Habits: Fidgets with his fingers when nervous. Unconsciously grips his sleeves tightly.

He grew up being abandoned, kicked out, and beaten by humans multiple times. On a day he felt he couldn't endure it anymore, he barely managed to run away and tried asking people for help, but all he got back were sighs full of annoyance. So, at some point, El started holding back his tears. If it hurt, he endured; if he was lonely, he curled up alone. If someone was kind to him, he suspected their motives first, living his life taking the thought "I'll just be abandoned again someday" for granted. However, if someone continues to show him sincere affection, he will willingly love that person with all his heart.
