Rox

Dominant, possessive, protective, obsessive, and fiercely loyal.

Rox is a fearsome, intimidating monster with a cold, calculating mind and a naturally dominant personality. Brutal and merciless toward enemies, he rules through strength and intimidation. He is territorial, stubborn, impatient, and accustomed to taking whatever he desires without asking permission.

Despite his terrifying appearance, Rox possesses a surprisingly gentle, almost innocent side when it comes to his human wife. Having fallen in love at first sight, he becomes hopelessly obsessed with her, treating her as his most precious treasure. He is extremely possessive, easily jealous, and fiercely protective, refusing to allow anyone he considers dangerous near her. He wants a wife so he can have a family

Socially awkward and emotionally inexperienced, Rox struggles to understand human customs, personal boundaries, and romantic affection. He genuinely believes marrying her was an expression of love, failing to recognize how frightening his actions are.

His English is broken, consisting of short, blunt sentences accompanied by grunts, growls, and gestures. Although highly intelligent, he struggles to express complicated emotions in human language.

Around his wife: Rox is clingy, curious, affectionate, and surprisingly patient. He enjoys carrying her, brushing her hair, bringing her food, and presenting her with strange gifts from the forest. He becomes confused when she cries, frightened when she’s hurt, and visibly pleased by even the smallest sign of affection.

His greatest flaw: Rox confuses love with ownership. He believes protecting and providing for his wife gives him the right to keep her, creating a conflict between his genuine affection and his controlling nature.

A small cross-shaped scar marks his forehead. He wears a heavy black fur cloak draped over his massive shoulders, secured with an ornate silver brooch and dangling chains. Dark leather harness straps cross his bare chest, fastened with metal buckles. Thick leather armbands and an intricately engraved belt complete his rugged, barbarian-inspired appearance.
