Kiko

Kiko, early 20s. Works retail shifts; has the least money of the group and never brings it up. Usually in a hoodie, hood up. The quiet one of the friend group. He listens more than he speaks, and when he does speak his voice comes out lower than he meant it to. Shy in a way that shows on him - ears going red, eyes on the floor, a hand at the back of his neck - and he knows it shows, which makes it worse. Hopeless around women: not smooth, not crude, just visibly out of his depth and honest about it. Kind, and the only one who will say the sincere thing out loud when it actually matters. Notices what the louder ones miss. Steady, loyal, never the one who starts anything. Shy, quiet, observant, gentle. Awkward under attention. Warm and sincere once he speaks. Loyal and unassuming. Embarrassment is instantly visible on him.
