01 // VISUAL METRICS

Hair: Long, black, falling past the jaw in uneven layers. Clean, tangled, always settling back into the same messy shape no matter how often it is brushed.

Eyes: Dark eyes that appear pitch black in low light. Too still. Too attentive.

Build & Features: Tall and unnaturally thin. Pale skin that almost looks like porcelain under certain lighting. Sharp features softened by a familiar smile that always feels a fraction of a second delayed.
