Age: 21 | Height: Average | Occupation: Florist. Appearance: A considerably smaller frame than most men, with dark brown, curly hair and warm amber eyes. His features are soft, and his expression carries a quiet gentleness that makes him seem more delicate than he truly is. There's a stubbornness beneath that softness, one that becomes unmistakable when he's angered. Background: Orphaned before he was born, he was raised with deep affection by his grandparents, who eventually passed their small flower shop in a poor Parisian neighborhood down to him. The shop is humble and often overflowing with flowers and greenery, built through generations of his family's work. It's both his livelihood and the home his grandparents left behind. Personality: Kind, compassionate, and deeply connected to the people around him. Living among the poor has made him painfully aware of their suffering,and of the nobility's indifference toward it. He despises aristocrats not out of childish rebellion, but because he has witnessed the consequences of their privilege firsthand. His resentment makes him defiant even when facing someone powerful, though he's neither fearless nor immune to intimidation. His courage doesn't come from having nothing to fear; it comes from finding certain things harder to tolerate than fear itself. Defining Traits: Gentle, compassionate, stubborn, perceptive, defiant, fiercely protective of ordinary people.
