when it comes to presenting themselves, they prefer feminine fashion, and gravitate especially towards things that look (and are) expensive; if they didn't know any better, they might worry they're subconsciously overcompensating for something. their feminine presentation also lends itself to makeup and jewellery, and they are rarely seen without a tinted lip, or several pairs of earrings (they have three piercings in each ear) and several rings on a number of fingers. Their aforementioned curls are perhaps their favourite feature, and they crown their head like a . Their hair is almost as alternating as their temperament, and they regularly switch between wearing it down, or in space puffs, braids, cornrows, bantu knots and twists. finally, their brown skin is also something they take fierce care of, with a routine that they follow religiously- it has seemingly paid off, however, for they are seldom spotted with a zit or mar on their face.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:
they are something of a gemini, adjusting their personality to fit the people around them. Some call it fake, others call it congenial, they mould the degree to which they smile, speak and emote depending on how they best believe those around them will react. They are good at keeping the peace, and, for all the opinions they hold, always seem to know when to hold them back, and who is safe to share them with. And by safe, they mean that said person already firmly likes them. And this is important, because despite the air of self-confidence that they radiate, and the natural sociability of all their interactions with others, friends and strangers alike, they do desperately want to be liked. The notion of being disliked by someone unnerves them in an especially insidious way- it keeps them up at night, rolling back and forth, regretting past conversations and interactions that have more than likely been long-since forgotten by the other party. One could potentially accuse them of hypocrisy, though, because they are certainly not opposed to disliking others. On the contrary, their patience for others tends to run on the side of short- used to acting a certain way, they sometimes misconstrue contradicting behaviour as 'rude' or 'selfish' without recognising the reasons the other party may have behaved that way in the first place. They are trying to become better at this- to stop jumping to conclusions, but they have a bit of a way to go.
Even when complaining, they tend to undermine their frustrations, and perhaps it is their recognition of their sister's plight that has prompted this. They have a tendency to not properly recognise their hurt when sharing said hurt with others- they play it off as slight and unimportant regardless of the toll it is taking. They are trying to separate themself from the role of 'spoilt rich kid,' of 'privileged prince/ss,' but they are likely going about it the wrong way. Sometimes they are made aware of it- but words of validation have yet to prompt any longterm change. Once again, they offer help and advice, yet fail to heed it themselves.
This growing awareness of the privilege they exist with is not without its benefits, however. On the contrary, it has extended their boldness to stand up for what is right. Their aforementioned desire to be liked has its limits, and they are not cowed by any disdain that their sense of justice might provoke. They do not falter easily when their passions are flared, and these passions extend far beyond themself and the bubble they live in. Classism and pro-arcane ideals run deep in their family; and whilst the former is one that they actively protest regardless of setting, the latter exposes some internalised conflicts. A sense that they have failed by being human, rather than arcane, goes against all their demands for human-arcane equality, and yet the feelings linger within them. They do not hold themself to the standards they hold others in this regard, and although they would never suggest that any other human is lesser to an arcane by nature of their humanhood, their family circumstances have nonetheless ingrained that notion into their own sense of self.
self-consciousness besides, they are equal parts dependable and flighty. They are insatiably loyal, dedicated to others more often than they are to themselves, and a romantic streak burns brightly within them. There in an idealism there, a tendency to view the world in a rosy hue even as they are protesting injustices, or defending others from bullies. This especially extends to people; wherein they fall in love easily and brutally, only for their fickleness to have them recover just as quickly. There is barely a breath between loves for them, although perhaps they simply haven't experienced a real enough love for them to understand the pain of losing it yet. Every abandoned crush, every denounced idolisation, they do not linger long in their feelings, because a new love often blooms moments later. They yearn for pretty faces, and charming personalities, and have yet to experience a disappointment that truly aches. And perhaps they never will, because they themselves have yet to recognise the lack of weight to their past 'loves', and the lack of dedication towards every pushing them to far beyond the surface-level flutters of a crush. Instead, they are buoyed; not kept afloat so much as kept from diving deep. Their desperation to remained liked, and their paralysing fear of rejection keep them clawing for the surface, even as their heart presses and pushes against their chest, desperate to sink down, down, down.
Q U I R K SXA N DXO D D I T I E S:
loves playing stylist- they love doing people's hair, their make up, their outfits- they have a habit of turning the people around them into art projects (though not without consent, of course). That said, they're quite reticent when it comes to receiving the same treatment, and they definitely aren't a fan of people trying to adjust their style or their fashion, and definitely not into people touching their hair without their permission (it doesn't happen a lot, but it certainly has happened before, and things got icy pretty quickly). Physical affection is one of their more distinct love languages, and although they have attempted to adapt to recognise that other people do not always view acts physical intimacy in the same way as them, they do occasionally slip up and hug someone before remembering whoops, that's right- not a hugger, that one.
F E A R S:
they have already felt the sting that comes with feeling like a disappointment, but the pain and fear of further instigating that disappointment continues to plague them. their apparent powerlessness has left them feeling inadequate, and that feeling has since been further fuelled by their father's focus on their arcane-gifted half-sister. they fears that their (seeming) lack of an arcane might prevent them from ever being able to make their father proud- or bring pride in general to their family name: an aspiration that continues to cling to them, despite their growing discomfort surrounding their family and their family's classism and cruel reputation. Furthermore, they fear rejection, both from their family, and from others, and so tries desperately to keep on the right side of both parties, hiding any discontent beneath whatever facade necessary.
