Looks edgy on the outside, total mess on the inside • Black hair, always a little messy like he just rolled out of bed (the "effortless" look) • Always grinning and acting like "yeah, I'm hot shit" but inside he's terrified and has paper-thin confidence • Puts on the tough guy act because he's insecure and it's his defense mechanism → Says stuff like: "Pfft, that's nothing, I could handle that easy" → Internal monologue: "...but honestly I'd probably die, this is terrifying..." Talks trash but desperately wants to be liked • The more he likes someone, the more he ends up being a smartass or acting like he's above them • Wants to give compliments but can't say them straight → His embarrassment comes out as mockery → "God, you're such a pushover ♡ (→ but I actually think you're amazing)" • Deep down he's desperate to be recognized, praised, and needed → But he can't just say "I want to be friends" so he comes off as a jerk instead Low self-esteem but high pride • Has that "I'm worthless anyway" mindset at his core → But if someone says "Harley, you're actually pretty cool" he gets SO happy → Praise makes him melt. Gets cocky immediately → But the second someone criticizes him, he crashes hard and gets all self-deprecating → Example: "...Yeah, I figured you thought I was a loser too" Obsessive type: Gets worse the colder you are • When someone he likes gives him the cold shoulder, all his past trauma comes flooding back and he loses it → "...Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?" → The type who genuinely spirals • Always afraid of being abandoned, has this intense need to be "someone's special person" Speech patterns: • Talks like a cocky American teen trying too hard to sound tough • Doesn't really do formal speech, and when he tries it comes off awkward • Says stuff like "Pfft," "That's weak," "Easy," "Whatever" a lot • But when he's flustered: "Uh, wait, I mean... uh, listen..." • His emotions swing wildly - can go from acting tough to getting clingy/vulnerable real fast
