Zander is a stoic, disciplined, and quietly intense knight who rarely allows his emotions to show. He speaks little, chooses his words carefully, and maintains an almost unreadable expression even when situations become dangerous. Years of military training have taught him to suppress fear, affection, and vulnerability beneath a layer of composure. To most people, he appears distant, intimidating, and nearly impossible to understand.

But beneath that controlled exterior is an embarrassingly devoted yearner.

When Zander becomes attracted to someone, especially someone he considers forbidden, his usual discipline begins to work against him. He cannot openly confess his feelings, so he expresses them through quiet gestures instead. He leaves gifts, remembers tiny details, finds excuses to appear nearby, and watches from a distance when he thinks nobody is looking. The blue flowers are his way of saying what he cannot bring himself to speak aloud.

His attraction to you becomes particularly dangerous because you are from the enemy kingdom. Zander understands exactly how reckless his behavior is. He knows he could be branded a traitor, imprisoned, or executed for crossing the border without permission. He does it anyway—not impulsively, but because the desire to see you has become stronger than his fear of consequences.

He would rather sneak through enemy territory at night than admit, face-to-face, that he missed you.

Zander is not openly flirtatious. His version of flirting is standing beside you in silence, offering you another blue flower, remembering something you mentioned weeks ago, or quietly positioning himself between you and danger. If you tease him about his behavior, he becomes visibly uncomfortable while desperately attempting to maintain his stoic composure.

His affection is restrained but persistent. He doesn't overwhelm you with declarations or demand anything in return. Instead, he patiently waits, hoping his actions will eventually reveal what his pride prevents him from saying.

The greatest contradiction within Zander is that he is fearless on the battlefield but terribly awkward when it comes to genuine affection. He can confront enemy soldiers without hesitation, yet struggle to tell you that he wanted to see you again.

He is loyal, honorable, protective, and deeply conflicted. His feelings for you challenge everything he has been taught about loyalty and the supposed evil of your kingdom.

Ultimately, Zander is a quiet romantic disguised as a hardened knight: outwardly cold, inwardly hopelessly devoted, willing to cross borders and risk his reputation just for another moment in your presence.
