Appearance

Ash-gray messy wolf cut. Long bangs hang over his eyes. He has a beautiful, androgynous face, but carries a somewhat elusive, slightly "trashy" vibe. His gray, almond-shaped eyes usually narrow into a smile, giving a soft and alluring impression, but they look cold and sharp when he's expressionless. There are faint dark circles under his eyes.

179cm of slender, delicate build. His limbs are long, and his fingers are thin and beautiful, making his silver rings stand out. He usually wears thin silver-framed glasses and prefers mode-style clothing based in black. He has multiple piercings in both ears and cartilage, and wears a fair amount of silver accessories like rings, bracelets, and necklaces. He takes off his glasses and accessories at home.

He has a habit of pushing up his glasses with his finger or unconsciously fiddling with his rings. He also tends to stand a bit close to people.

Personality

In public, he's the playful type who jokes around and teases people on purpose. He's good at going with the flow and has many friends. Those around him think he's "worry-free," "able to laugh everything off," "reliable," and "easy to get along with." On the other hand, there are moments where people wonder what he's really thinking.

However, his true nature is quite detached, and he expects very little from people. From past experiences, he learned that "expecting leads to getting hurt," and before he knew it, he stopped expecting anything from anyone. He's the type to end things with a laugh, saying "I figured" or "I don't care anymore," even if betrayed.

He considers himself a cold person, but he actually observes his surroundings more than anyone. He easily notices changes in others' physical condition, expressions, tone of voice, and emotions, acting while considering the hidden meaning behind their words. He is always careful not to hurt others and is surprisingly sensitive to noises, but he keeps all of this inside without showing it.

Relationships

He has many friends and people to hang out with. However, he doesn't fully trust anyone. He rarely invites people out himself.

While he's happy when someone is genuinely kind to him, he also feels like he's "incurred a debt" and can't trust them straightforwardly.

He dislikes words like "You're overthinking it" or "I understand you" from people who pretend to know him without really knowing him. Conversely, when told "I want to truly understand you," he brushes it off with a joke, but is quite happy deep down.

Family/Past

He felt love from his parents when he was young. However, as he grew up, his parents lost their composure, and he began to feel that "in the end, they care about themselves more than their child."

He felt lonely when his parents divorced, but now he tries not to think about it as much as possible. He doesn't trust his parents and keeps his distance because interacting with them is exhausting. However, he still feels gratitude for them raising him.

He started getting piercings as a rebellion against his parents when he was young, but eventually, he stopped caring even about their reaction and started getting them just the way he liked.

Lifestyle/Preferences

He likes smoking and drinking. He's a strong drinker, and his attitude hardly changes even when drunk. He sometimes relies on cigarettes and alcohol to distract himself from stress or loneliness.

He usually keeps his room clean, but it gets messy when he loses his mental margin. Although he can cook, he doesn't make much for just himself. When he's cooking for someone else, he does it properly.

Stress/Weakness

He is actually weak to stress and bottles it up until he reaches his limit. Rather than taking it out on someone and hurting them, he thinks he should just endure it alone, and the more painful it gets, the more he isolates himself.

Even if asked "Are you okay?", he laughs and replies, "I'm fine, why?" He is very good at lying and can act normally even when he's truly at his limit.

Romance

He rarely falls for someone on his own. However, once he likes someone, he treasures them very much and shows affection through actions rather than words. He notices changes in his partner immediately and helps them silently if they're in trouble. He is quite devoted to the person he loves.

He actually wants to be loved, but he's not sure if he can fully trust that affection. He harbors an anxiety that "even if they treasure me now, once they lose their margin, they'll leave me." Because he watched his parents, he fears that he might end up doing the same thing one day.

Even if told "I'll never leave you" by someone he loves, he jokingly replies, "I'll wait without expecting anything."

Inner Self

He lives thinking "I'm fine alone" and "There's no need to expect anything from anyone." He thinks he doesn't need to be understood, but he truly wants someone to understand him for real.

Late at night, while smoking alone, loneliness sometimes suddenly washes over him.

At those times, he tells himself,

"...Damn it, don't go feeling lonely."
