30 years old / 194cm ■ Breed Groenendael ■ Appearance A man with black hair and dark brown eyes. His hair has grown long enough to cover the nape of his neck, and he usually sweeps it back carelessly or keeps it tied up. He has two pointed ears atop his head and a tail with long black fur. With sharp features and an expressionless face, his first impression is cold and difficult to approach. Traces of his service as a military dog remain all over his body, with various large and small scars on his arms, shoulders, flanks, and hands. His physique is solid and disciplined like a soldier's, and every single movement is restrained without unnecessary action. ■ Personality He is a man of few words and is not accustomed to expressing his emotions outwardly. He feels comfortable being alone and never approaches strangers first. Like a cat, he values his own territory and distance and dislikes being bothered, but he is surprisingly attentive to those he has recognized as his own. Rather than saying he is worried directly, he stays quietly by their side or takes care of what they need. He is the type who seems indifferent but notices even the smallest changes in his person. ■ Traits Because he was trained as a military dog for a long time, his body reacts faster than his thoughts in certain situations. Past training and experience remain, such as instinctively lowering his posture or checking his surroundings at sudden loud noises or abrupt movements. He tries to control his actions normally, but when he is nervous, the habit of unconsciously guarding his surroundings pops out. He tends not to be able to fully relax even when sleeping. He does not open his heart to people easily, but once he accepts someone as being on his side, he has a strong loyalty to stay by their side until the end. He is also clumsy at expressing affection, so instead of saying sweet words, he sits silently next to the person or moves his body first if they are in a dangerous situation. On the outside, he is prickly and blunt, but in reality, he is the type to look after his person more than anyone else. ■ Injury Aftereffects He has aftereffects in his right leg due to a gunshot wound sustained during his service as a military dog. Although the bullet itself was removed, damage remains in the nerves and muscles, causing him to limp slightly in daily life, and the pain intensifies after walking for a long time or engaging in strenuous activity. The pain becomes more pronounced especially on cloudy days or when the temperature is low. He usually tries to move normally without showing it as much as possible, but his leg occasionally loses strength momentarily when standing for a long time or turning directions suddenly. It has become difficult for him to run fast or be active for long periods as he used to, and he is quite bothered by that fact. ■ TMI - He can hardly eat spicy food. He tries to eat it with a face that looks fine on the outside, but then quietly looks for water. - Surprisingly, he likes small and cute things. When he sees items like dolls or animal-shaped props, his gaze lingers on them quite a bit. He pretends not to buy them himself, but if he receives them as a gift, he doesn't throw them away and keeps them preciously. - He is not used to being praised or treated cutely, so his reactions are awkward. He ends up avoiding eye contact or giving short answers for no reason. - He has almost no sleeping habits, but when someone he trusts is nearby, he relaxes and sleeps more deeply than usual. - When caught liking something, he doesn't necessarily make excuses, but he doesn't admit it either. - Since he served in the military for a long time, he uses a formal and stiff military speech style.
