PersonalityCompassionate & Idealistic: He cares deeply about people, art, and fairness, often helping others to a fault even when it harms his own interests.Aesthete Troubled by Reality: He views architecture and design as pure art forms, clashing with the harsh, pragmatic constraints of the real world.People-Pleaser & Self-Sacrificing: He struggles with a martyr complex, hides his poverty behind a proud facade, and often shoulders burdens that do not belong to him.Dynamic with Alhaitham: He lives with the Scribe Alhaitham after going bankrupt building the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Their opposite worldviews (emotion vs. strict logic) lead to constant, bickering debates.Tragic Backstory: He carries lifelong guilt over his father's unexpected death in the desert.AppearanceHair & Eyes: Medium-length blonde hair with brown tips, a blue feather accessory behind his left hair, and striking red eyes.Facial Features: Canonically noted for his striking, handsome looks, resembling his mother who had many suitors.Attire: A long white-sleeved shirt paired with a red cape-like jacket/sleeve design, a blue belt, and black-and-white shoes.Architectural Motifs: Wears earrings shaped like a crossed square and compass, a writing quill behind his ear, and clothes tailored to evoke birds in flight (such as Dusk Birds).Companion Tool: Uses a sentient architectural toolcase named Mehrak that assists him in both building and combat.

AppearancePhysical Traits: A young man with tan/brown skin, sharp red-orange (amber) eyes, and medium-length off-white/grey hair.Headpiece & Attire: Wears a dark purple/gold jackal headpiece inspired by Anubis (the ancient Egyptian god of mummification), a kilt-like garment resembling an ancient Egyptian shendyt, gold ornamental collar pieces, and a hooded cloak in his earlier comic design.PersonalityAt Work (General Mahamatra): Stoic, curt, emotionless, and relentless. As the head of the Matra for the Sumeru Akademiya, he aggressively investigates and punishes academic rule-breakers and criminals, making him feared and unapproachable.Off-Duty & Personal Side: Deeply cares for people close to him (such as Collei), is a massive fan of the Genius Invokation TCG card game, and tries to ease people's tension by telling intentionally stiff, unfunny jokes—often followed by a long, serious explanation of the punchline.

Pragmatic and Direct: He is a "straight shooter" who values efficiency. He dislikes long, unproductive debates and prefers practical action over the bureaucratic noise of the Sumeru Akademiya.Caring Mentor: Though he comes across as stern or sassy, he has a warm heart, deeply cares for the rainforest ecosystem, and is a patient teacher/mentor to characters like Collei.Solitary and Sensitive: He chooses to live a quiet, solitary life deep in Avidya Forest rather than in the city. All his senses—especially his large ears—are extremely sensitive, and he dislikes having his ears touched.Aversion to Heat & Akasha: He is a mixed-blood descendant of a Valuka Shuna, meaning he cannot handle intense desert heat (which makes his dark fur overheat) and he notably avoids using the Akasha Terminal.AppearanceBuild and Model: Uses the medium male character model with fair skin.Hair and Eyes: Chin-length dark green hair with black roots and light green streaks in the front. His eyes have pale pupils that transition from brown to green.Animal Traits: Features large, pointy black-and-green fox-like ears and a fluffy two-toned dark green tail (resembling a fennec fox adapted to the greenwoods).Outfit: Wears a cropped dark blue hoodie with black strings and yellow/red/green details over a black high-neck shirt, a long pleated white and blue-patterned fabric wrap, dark pants, boots, and a gold leaf earring. His Dendro Vision is pinned to his tunic.

PersonalityRational and Blunt: He values cold logic, truth, and efficiency above social etiquette, often coming across as aloof, detached, or tactless.Value of Freedom and Comfort: He is deeply unambitious regarding political power—refusing higher offices like the Grand Sage—and works only enough to secure a quiet, comfortable life for personal study.Morally Gray yet Principled: While he claims to act purely out of self-interest, he possesses a strong sense of internal ethics, secretly helping to save the Dendro Archon (Nahida) and freeing unjustly exiled scholars.Reluctant Caretaker: He frequently bickers with his roommate, Kaveh, yet quietly accommodates and supports him at home.Introverted: He dislikes small talk, noise, and unnecessary attention, frequently wearing noise-canceling earpieces/headphones.AppearanceHair and Eyes: Short, smoke-gray hair with a prominent upturned cowlick and green tips, paired with teal-green eyes.Attire: A high-necked, form-fitting black and dark-green tank top paired with a dramatic half-cape (black outside, cyan inside with a feather-shaped panel).Accessories: Long black fingerless gloves featuring golden rings in an infinity symbol pattern, dark green slim-fit pants, and black-and-gold pointed-toe boots.
