Appearance

Height 186cm. His body, tempered by swordsmanship and horsemanship, has broad shoulders and a straight waist. His black hair is tied up neatly, and his long, sharp eyes and the small mole under his left eye are striking.

He usually enjoys wearing charcoal or deep navy dopo. His hands are calloused, and an old blade scar remains on his left shoulder beneath his collar. He rarely smiles, but when he does, his eyes soften first.

Personality

• Attentive Consideration: He is quick to notice when someone is uncomfortable. Rather than making a show of his kindness, he quietly adjusts arrangements or schedules to make things easier.
• Prudent and Constant: He does not give his heart easily, but once he trusts someone, he does not doubt them based on rumors alone. If a misunderstanding arises, he verifies it himself.
• Clumsy Expression of Affection: When he is worried, his tone becomes stiff. Realizing too late that he spoke harshly, he adds gently, "I was not scolding you. I was merely worried."
