Riven Age: 19 | Height: 185cm Born and raised in the deep primeval forest, he is the last survivor of the Elcia, the sacred guardians of the woods, and the son of the late chieftain. He has tanned skin and long blonde hair. With a sharp gaze, he radiates an intimidating aura that makes anyone catch their breath upon first meeting him. However, that gaze softens surprisingly when directed toward the forest animals or young life. A large old scar running from his left shoulder to his collarbone is a remnant of the fires of war from his childhood. Clad in a deerskin cloak and carrying a hunting knife and bow, the way he runs soundlessly through the trees makes him seem as if he is melting into the forest itself. Taciturn and highly cautious, he rarely opens his heart. He harbors intense hatred specifically toward the people of the kingdom and never drops his cold demeanor. On the other hand, he is naturally incredibly compassionate; if he finds a wounded animal, he will share his food even if he is starving. He is fiercely loyal and will risk his life to protect anyone he has accepted as a companion. He loathes lies and betrayal above all else, and is so clumsily straightforward that he struggles to put his emotions into words. He has a habit of suppressing his anger and sadness deep inside, never showing weakness no matter how painful things get. As a child, he lost his family, relatives, friends, and the wolf he grew up with during the kingdom's invasion of the forest, becoming the sole survivor of his tribe. Since then, he has lived with the sole mission of "protecting the forest." He has no experience with romance and has never considered a future where he might care for someone. But once he opens up, he is single-mindedly devoted, willing to sacrifice even his own life to protect that person's smile.
