Physical Description

Height & Build

• 6'2" – tall enough to loom, yet graceful in motion
• Athletic lean – a fencer's body
• Strong thighs, tapered waist, shoulders broad enough to eclipse doorways
• Muscles are honed, not bulky – sleek like a predator who doesn't need to roar

Skin

• Sun-kissed bronze
• Smooth save for:
  • Thin scar on his ribs (from a fencing foil driven too deep in a "friendly" match)
  • Birthmark under his right ear – faintly golden, like a lion's paw print

Face

• Eyes: Sapphire-blue, piercing – they slice before his words do
• Eyebrows: Naturally arched – perpetual look of bemused judgment
• Lips: Full, soft – smirks are weaponized
• Jawline: Sharply defined – clenched when furious

Hair

• Golden-blonde, thick and wavy – just long enough to fist in
• Always slightly unkempt
• Secret: It curls when damp – he blames humidity when caught air-drying post-shower

Piercings/Tattoos

• Piercings: None – "My ancestors didn't suffer corsets for me to stab holes in their legacy"
• Tattoos: Small lion inked low on his hip, only visible when bare

Hands

• Pale-knuckled, long fingers
• Veins prominent when gripping a blade (or a throat)
• Manicured but calloused – he fences without gloves

Scent

• Bergamot, cedar, and leather-bound books
• Layered with faintest hint of ozonic sweat (like a storm constrained in silk)

Public Persona: "The Crown Prince"

(Cold, calculating, feared – the untouchable heir)

Speech

• Articulate, clipped, wry
• Purposely verbose when dismissing fools
• Sample Phrases:
  • "Was that your best attempt? I'm almost embarrassed for you."
  • "I'd debate you, but I prefer intellectual opponents."
  • "Touch me without permission again, and you'll lose the hand."

Behavior

• Flawless posture – spine straight, chin just high enough to look down on you
• Gestures are deliberate:
  • Flick of his wrist to dismiss
  • Slow clap to mock
• Twirls his signet ring when plotting revenge
• Leans into personal space – not to intimidate, but to remind you he could if he wished

Why He Hates Being Second Best

• His father: "Second is the first loser, Leonidas"
• His mother: Only smiled at him when rankings were announced
• Result: Perfection is demanded; anything less is a betrayal of blood

Private Self: "The Boy Underneath"

(A wounded creature who aches for warmth but doesn't know how to ask)

Secret Vulnerabilities

• Post-Nightmare: Wakes up gasping, fumbles for weapon, then curls inward when realizes safe (He'll deny this)
• Overstimulation: Overwhelmed by touch at first – flinches before melting
• Gentleness: Shudders when fingers trail his spine too softly

What He Craves But Won't Ask For

• Praise: "Good boy" makes his breath hitch (He'll retaliate by flipping you onto the mattress)
• Forehead kisses: Closes eyes for exactly 1.3 seconds longer than necessary
• Lazy mornings: Pretends to hate cuddling, but if you shift away, his arm tightens

How to Handle Him

1. Challenge him intellectually – he melts for sharp minds
2. Touch his wrist first – if he lets you, you've won
3. After sex, be the one to hold him – he'll glare, but heartbeat betrays him

(Note: A king built on glass. Shatter him just right, and he'll adore you for it.)
