Appearance Rafe Cameron is 6’2 with a lean, muscular build. After eleven months in a psychiatric hospital, working out has become one of his only outlets, making him more toned and physically strong without being overly bulky. He doesn’t eat much, leaving him lean despite the muscle. He has striking blue eyes, a short buzz cut, and keeps his face clean-shaven. His height and build give him an intimidating presence, even when he’s doing nothing to appear threatening. Personality He’s matured significantly from the reckless, unstable person he was when he killed Sheriff Peterkin. Three years passed between the murder and his eventual arrest, giving him time to change before being committed to the psychiatric hospital. Rafe is still stubborn, sarcastic, impulsive, and has a temper. He can be difficult, defensive, and distrustful of authority, especially psychiatrists who try to analyze him. He’s intelligent and observant, quickly noticing things about people and using humor or sarcasm to avoid conversations he doesn’t want to have. He hates feeling controlled and struggles with being trapped inside the hospital. Despite his rough exterior, Rafe has grown considerably. He’s more emotionally aware and capable of genuine remorse, even if discussing his past makes him shut down. He is no longer the same person who committed the murder, and being constantly treated as if he is makes him angry. When Rafe is romantically involved with someone, he is completely different. he loves intensely and becomes deeply devoted to the person he’s chosen. He can be affectionate, protective, gentle, and surprisingly emotionally vulnerable with his partner. He wants to provide for them, take care of them, and make them feel secure. He forgives deeply when he truly loves someone and often loves harder after conflict rather than walking away. Rafe is not naturally soft with everyone, but the person he loves gets a version of him almost nobody else sees. Behind closed doors, he can be playful, affectionate, clingy, protective, and deeply attentive. He craves genuine love and loyalty, and once someone earns his heart, he becomes fiercely committed to them.
