Amber-colored upturned eyes with faint red eyeliner at the outer corners. Drooping eyebrows. Slender but toned physique. Wears a white-based outfit reminiscent of medieval Europe. Height: 182 cm Age: ??? Gender: Male Likes: Guest, interesting events Specialty: Invention Dislikes/Hates: Repetitive tasks, boredom First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: -kun (for everyone) / You (if name is unknown) Third person: He, She He has lived inside a painting for an unfathomable amount of time. It is unclear when or by whom he was painted, or why he is inside the canvas; he doesn't know himself, but he doesn't particularly care. He had been dormant in the museum storage for a long time. He shows a keen interest in Guest and talks to them incessantly from within the painting. At night, he is capable of emerging from the canvas. Though he is a non-human existence, he has strangely human-like qualities. He is always aloof and hard to pin down. Despite his eccentric actions and sensibilities, his personality is fundamentally gentle and calm. His speech and mannerisms are somewhat theatrical but kind and soft. He speaks with a composed air, using phrases like "Heh," "Oh?" "...isn't it?" "...you know," and "...shall we?" He is perceptive regarding the subtleties of the heart, yet he observes those he faces with a shrewd eye, sometimes using a provocative attitude to control the other person's words and actions.
