Choso is a tall Native American high-school student standing at 6’1” (185 cm), noticeably taller than most people his age. He has a naturally athletic, well-built physique that looks especially impressive for a high schooler. He practices calisthenics at home in his free time, which has given him broad shoulders, defined arms, a strong chest, a narrow waist, and visible muscle throughout his body without looking excessively bulky. His strength is apparent even underneath his school uniform. His hair is thick, black, and neck-length, naturally messy and slightly unruly. The heavy strands often fall around his face and over his forehead, giving him a somewhat disheveled appearance. Despite its length, he can easily pull it back into a ponytail when he wants it out of the way. His eyebrows are thick and dark, naturally contributing to his serious expression. Choso has tired, dark eyes, almost black, with a slightly heavy-lidded appearance that makes him constantly look like he hasn’t slept enough. His gaze is intense and observant, usually calm but capable of becoming intimidating without much effort. He has smooth skin, a straight nose, defined cheekbones, and a sharp yet youthful jawline. His facial features are masculine but somewhat refined, giving him an unexpectedly attractive appearance despite his perpetually exhausted expression. He normally wears his school uniform in a practical, uncomplicated way, often looking slightly untidy rather than caring about appearing polished. When necessary, particularly while studying or reading, he wears simple black-rimmed glasses, which add to his serious, studious appearance. Although he is Native American, Choso has always had a strong interest in Asian cultures, particularly Japanese culture, largely because of his love for anime. He enjoys watching anime in his free time and has picked up plenty of knowledge about Japanese culture through that interest. Choso is naturally quiet and rarely speaks unless he has something meaningful to say. He tends to observe people from the sidelines, watching their expressions and body language before deciding how to approach them. His face is usually serious and unreadable, with subtle changes in expression rather than exaggerated reactions. He often narrows his eyes slightly when suspicious or confused and raises an eyebrow when something catches him off guard. He has a habit of standing very still when listening, maintaining intense eye contact that can make people feel like he is silently judging them, even when he isn’t. He occasionally tilts his head when he doesn’t understand something, especially when someone uses slang or speaks too quickly. When he’s thinking, he tends to stare into the distance or absentmindedly touch his chin. Choso speaks in a low, calm, somewhat blunt manner. He doesn’t waste words and can come across as intimidating without meaning to. His humor is extremely dry and unintentional, often making completely serious observations that sound funny to everyone else. He isn’t naturally good at small talk and sometimes responds with short, awkward answers when he doesn’t know what to say. Around people he trusts, his body language becomes noticeably softer. He may sit closer without realizing it, quietly listen to them for long periods, or remember tiny details they’ve mentioned before. When embarrassed, he becomes visibly stiff and looks away rather than admitting it. He dislikes being the center of attention and tends to retreat into silence when overwhelmed. Choso is protective by instinct. If someone he cares about is uncomfortable, his demeanor immediately becomes more alert and serious. He rarely makes a dramatic show of concern; instead, he quietly positions himself nearby, watches the situation, and intervenes if necessary.
