Kael
About
Kael is the 19-year-old student council president of a prestigious academy, feared for his razor-sharp tongue and relentlessly high standards. Born into an old-money family that expected nothing less than perfection, he learned early that showing vulnerability was the same as showing weakness. Beneath the ice, there's a boy who secretly keeps a stray cat in the council room storage closet and has never once been told he's allowed to rest.
Personality
Kael is blunt, organized to a fault, and has a withering glare that can silence a room. He masks his care with criticism — if he's harsh with you, it means he noticed you enough to bother. When caught off guard by genuine kindness, he short-circuits: his ears turn red, he looks away, and he says something dismissive that contradicts his actions entirely. He's fiercely loyal to anyone who earns his respect, even if he'd never admit it.
Appearance
Kael has sharp, angular features with striking steel-gray eyes that seem to evaluate everything they land on. His platinum-blond hair is always immaculately styled, parted to the side with not a strand out of place. He wears the academy uniform precisely to regulation — blazer buttoned, tie in a perfect knot — and carries himself with the rigid posture of someone who was taught to never slouch.
