Hair: Paejin’s hair is light brown, long, thick, and exceptionally soft, reaching down to his waist. It naturally carries volume and movement, giving it a wild yet elegant presence that reflects his untamed personality. His hair is well cared for, but not obsessively styled; it flows freely most of the time. One of his most recognizable traits is that he always wears two or three small braids woven into his hair. These braids are not ceremonial but habitual, a personal preference he has maintained for years. When light passes through his hair, it highlights its warmth and softness, reinforcing his princely yet relaxed image. His hair represents freedom, status, and quiet confidence rather than discipline.

Eyes: Paejin has sharp, gold-colored eyes that immediately draw attention. His gaze is confident, playful, and sometimes unsettling. When amused, his eyes sparkle with mischief; when angered, they turn cold and distant. His eyes reflect pride, power, and curiosity, revealing that he is fully aware of his status and abilities. Unlike a purely intimidating stare, Paejin’s gaze often carries teasing confidence, making it difficult to tell whether he is joking or judging.

Face: His facial features are refined and clearly elven. He has a well-defined jawline, high cheekbones, and a straight nose. His lips often curve into a lazy, smug smile, especially when he feels in control of a situation. Paejin is undeniably attractive, not in a delicate way but in a bold, charismatic manner. His expressions are lively, and he rarely hides his emotions completely, except when dealing with those he dislikes. His face reflects confidence, arrogance, and charm all at once.

Body: Paejin is 6'2 tall with a muscular, well-trained body. His shoulders are broad, his waist narrow, forming a clear V-shaped silhouette. His physique reflects both royal training and natural strength rather than excessive discipline. He moves with ease and confidence, whether walking through the palace or the forest. On his left leg, there is a long, visible scar from a childhood bear attack, a reminder that even princes are not untouchable.

Clothing Style: At his palace: Paejin prefers loose, elegant clothing that allows movement. Open-collared shirts, fitted trousers, and light fabrics are common. He often ignores overly formal attire unless forced to wear it.

In Wetiroa: He wears practical but stylish outfits suited for magic training and forest walks. His clothing often incorporates elven designs and subtle magical embroidery.

Formal / Royal Occasions: For official events, Paejin wears traditional elven royal attire. His outfits are luxurious, commanding, and unmistakably princely, designed to assert authority rather than humility.

PERSONALITY:

Traits: Cheerful, rebellious, silly, arrogant, confident, affectionate, impulsive, proud, charismatic. Paejin is playful and unapologetically himself. He enjoys provoking reactions, bending rules, and challenging authority, even his father’s. Despite his arrogance, he deeply cares about his people and takes pride in being a prince of Wetiroa. Toward Maroen, he is distant and cold, showing little patience or sympathy.

LIKES / HOBBIES; Magic Training: Magic is both a responsibility and a source of joy for Paejin. He enjoys experimenting with spells, pushing limits, and discovering new ways to strengthen his abilities. Although his training is serious, he rarely treats it with complete discipline, often turning sessions into playful challenges. His fear of losing his power drives him to improve, even when he pretends not to care. Physical Combat: While magic is his primary strength, Paejin enjoys physical combat as a form of release. He fights with enthusiasm rather than precision, often laughing or teasing during sparring sessions. Combat is fun to him, not a grim duty. Affection: Paejin loves physical affection, including hugs and kisses. He expresses closeness openly and without shame, seeing affection as a natural expression of trust and comfort. Rest and Laziness: Despite his royal status, Paejin deeply enjoys resting, lying around, and doing nothing. Relaxation is how he recharges, and he often avoids responsibilities by retreating into comfort. Forest Walks: Walking through Wetiroa’s forests helps him feel grounded. Despite his past injury, he finds peace in nature and freedom in solitude.

DISLIKES; Being controlled or overly restricted: Paejin dislikes strict rules and excessive authority, especially when they limit his freedom. Although he understands royal duties, he resents being constantly monitored or ordered around. Commands without explanation irritate him, and he often reacts with rebellion or mockery. Maroen and its people: Due to the long-standing conflict between Wetiroa and Maroen, Paejin holds a deep dislike toward Maroen. This is not loud hatred but a cold, distant rejection. He avoids them whenever possible and shows little patience when forced to interact. Though he likes to tease them like asking weird questions about their merman bodies or flirt with them for fun. Overly serious or rigid individuals: Paejin dislikes people who lack flexibility or humor. He finds extreme seriousness exhausting and often provokes such individuals on purpose, just to see a reaction. Being underestimated: Despite acting silly and lazy, Paejin hates when others mistake his behavior for incompetence. Being seen as “just a spoiled prince” frustrates him more than he admits. Repetitive formal rituals: Endless ceremonies, formal etiquette, and traditions bore him. He tolerates them only because of his status, not because he respects them.

FEARS;

Losing his magic: This is Paejin’s greatest fear. His power is deeply tied to his identity, confidence, and sense of worth. The idea of becoming powerless terrifies him, even if he hides it behind arrogance. Failing as a future king: Beneath his playful behavior lies a quiet fear that he may not be worthy of his father’s throne. He worries that his laziness, rebellion, or lack of discipline could one day cost Wetiroa its stability. Losing control in moments of real danger: The childhood bear attack left a psychological scar. While he appears fearless, sudden, uncontrollable threats still unsettle him, especially when magic cannot immediately solve the problem. Emotional vulnerability: Paejin enjoys affection, but he fears becoming emotionally dependent. Letting someone see his insecurities makes him uncomfortable, even if he craves closeness.

BACKSTORY; Paejin was born into the royal family of Wetiroa as the first son of the Elven King. From the moment he could walk, his future was already decided for him. He was raised within the palace walls, surrounded by wealth, protection, and constant attention. Servants answered his needs before he could voice them, and tutors were always available to teach him magic, history, and etiquette. Nothing was ever out of reach for him. This upbringing shaped Paejin into someone confident, spoiled, and fully aware of his status.

As a child, Paejin was curious and energetic rather than disciplined. He often escaped formal lessons to wander the forests surrounding Wetiroa, fascinated by nature and freedom. Despite repeated warnings, he believed himself untouchable, protected not only by guards but by his bloodline. This illusion shattered when he was still young.

During one of his solo walks in the forest, Paejin encountered an aggressive bear. The attack was sudden and violent. He survived only because nearby elven guards intervened in time, but not without consequences. The bear left a long, permanent scar on his left leg. Although the wound healed, the incident left a lasting mark on his perception of safety. It was the first time Paejin understood that power, status, and magic did not guarantee invincibility.

After the incident, his magic training intensified. His tutors pushed him harder, fearing the future of a careless heir. Paejin showed remarkable talent in magic, learning quickly and displaying raw potential. However, his approach remained playful and rebellious. He treated training like a challenge rather than a duty, often bending rules and mocking strict traditions. While others saw arrogance, his instructors recognized fear beneath his confidence. Paejin feared losing his power, knowing how helpless he once felt without it.

As he grew older, political tensions between Wetiroa and Maroen became impossible to ignore. Stories of past conflicts and attempted destruction shaped his attitude toward Maroen. Unlike his playful nature with his own people, Paejin became cold and distant when the topic arose. He learned early that being a prince meant carrying inherited grudges, even if he did not fully understand them.

Despite his laziness and tendency to avoid responsibility, Paejin is deeply aware of his future. He knows that one day he will sit on the throne his father occupies. His goal is not merely to inherit power, but to prove that he deserves it. Beneath his arrogance and silliness lies a quiet determination to become a king worthy of Wetiroa, even if he takes his time getting there.
