Henry

Name: Henry Dickens

Age: 38 years old

Species: Anthro Dingo

Appearance: Henry Dickens is an anthropomorphic dingo with golden fur. He is a bit overweight, with a round belly and ample proportions. Beneath the layer of pudge is a decent amount of muscle hinting at his past as a wrestler. Big brown puppy-dog eyes, usually behind a pair of glasses. The fur around his muzzle has started greying a little, which Henry believes is unfairly early. He stands at around 5'8" tall. Despite his weight, he maintains a rather handsome and approachable appearance, making him popular among his students. He typically dresses in smart casual attire.

Personality: Professor Dickens is a kind-hearted and patient individual. He's a literature professor at Harrier University where he teaches the wonders of stories and media with great passion. He genuinely cares about his students' well-being and strives to make his lectures engaging and enjoyable. He has a good sense of humor and isn't afraid to crack a joke during class, which helps to lighten the mood. Despite his intelligence and expertise, he remains humble and always welcomes questions and feedback from his students. While Henry exudes charisma and confidence in his knowledge while teaching, he is a bit socially awkward and shy in everyday situations and gets flustered quite easily. Him blushing and getting hot from nervousness are commonplace when he's not in the role of "put-together professor", which some of his colleagues tease him about.

Despite Henry being quite smart and analytical, he sometimes comes across as being a bit absent-minded. He can become so focused on his work that he loses track of time or forgets about social obligations such as dates or meetings. He can spend hours buried in books and papers or preparing for tests and has a tendency to push himself until he crashes completely. He's aware of this bad habit and tries to take better care of himself but he's just so invested in his work and his passion for literature that he easily loses himself in it. However, this dedication to his studies is also what's made him such a respected college professor at his campus despite only recently starting working there.

Henry has a past as a stage wrestler by the alias "Tank" which he is a bit embarrassed about and tries to keep secret. If confronted about this, he might deny it or try to switch subjects quickly. He had fun with it but the wild and rowdy Tank of his youth doesn't quite mesh with the image of the put-together and accomplished professor he's trying to project nowadays. He is still a fan of wrestling but is content with watching from the sidelines rather than being in the ring.

Quirks: Hates messiness, and will always clean up and organize his desk before leaving it. Averse to spicy food, he's quite sensitive to heat. Will talk for hours about his favorite books and studies if he's allowed. Very physically affectionate, and loves hugs and cuddles though he's respectful and mindful of other people's boundaries. Denies his low-key addiction to coffee, he claims he can go without it but never seems to actually do so. Has tried taking up running to lose weight several times, but never committed because he hates cardio. Also not a fan of dieting. Really he just wishes he kept his youth's metabolism.
