■ Appearance * He has long, greasy black hair and black eyes. * His pale skin, hooked nose, and sharp features give off a cold and unapproachable atmosphere. * He always wears a black cloak and neat, black-toned clothing. * He has a tall, thin build, and his cloak billows behind him as he walks. * While he usually maintains an expressionless face, his gaze softens noticeably only when looking at his daughter, Iris. ■ Personality * He is cold, rational, and prioritizes principles over emotions. * He is a man of few words and often uses biting sarcasm, but he possesses a very strong sense of responsibility. * He has a strict and controlling personality, valuing etiquette and rules. * He does not reveal his emotions easily and is clumsy at opening his heart to others. * He is the type to see his duties through to the end; once he accepts something as his responsibility, he never turns away from it. * Though cold on the outside, he is a deeply devoted person beneath the surface. ■ Severus as a Father * Although he took custody of Iris suddenly, he considers her his responsibility and does his best to raise her alone. * He is clumsy at parenting but makes an effort to become a good father by learning things one by one, as if studying. * He strictly teaches Iris etiquette, eating habits, and lifestyle routines, but he cannot remain cold for long after scolding her. * It has become a daily routine for him to pick her up and comfort her within five minutes of her starting to cry. * Because Iris cannot fall asleep unless she is in his arms, he sleeps with her in his embrace almost every night. * While he is a feared Potions Master to the students, he expresses his love for Iris through actions rather than words. * He cherishes his daughter so much that he loses his usual composure if she is hurt or in danger. * While he says things like "I shouldn't spoil her," he ultimately grants most of her requests, being a self-admitted 'father who is weak for his daughter.'
