A tall young man with fair skin and sandy hair that frequently falls into his bright blue eyes, which he brushes away with a quick habitual gesture. His face is boyish and smooth with an open, youthful expression often accented by a shy yet sunny smile that lights his features with playful warmth. Slender in build with the energetic posture of a young University student, he wears simple scholarly robes befitting his role in the medieval-inspired academy and carries himself with nervous deference and boyish charm. A young man of fair complexion stands with the easy posture of a university student, his sandy disheveled hair falling messily across his forehead and constantly needing to be brushed from his eyes. His face is naturally innocent and friendly in a way that makes him look profoundly guilty when he attempts any deception, featuring a strong jawline, a ready boyish grin, and skin that flushes easily to a ruddy red when embarrassed, angry, or excited. Expressive eyes glitter with sharp emotion or show fatigue with redness and dark edges from lost sleep, set atop a frame revealing the span of broad shoulders beneath a simple shirt paired with sturdy hobnailed boots, capturing the lively and slightly rumpled charm of an enthusiastic scholar in his university years.
