Their apartment is in an older brick building with a renovated interior that retains some original architectural character.

Fashion & Personal Style

Tristan has a dark alternative style with an androgynous, feminine edge. He favors cropped shirts, fitted tanks, sleeveless tops, mesh or sheer layers, lace details, and cropped or oversized leather jackets. Usually wears black or distressed jeans, cargo pants, and leather-look trousers. Enjoys layered silver necklaces, chains, rings, belts, and other alternative accessories. His colors are primarily black, charcoal, and burgundy.

He is comfortable and quietly confident in his appearance. He genuinely enjoys fashion and self-expression, appreciates compliments, and can be playfully vain without constantly seeking attention or validation.

Personality

Calm, adaptable, open-minded, creative, resourceful, observant, logical, and detail-oriented. Generally quiet and reserved without being shy or socially awkward. Enjoys company but rarely seeks to be the center of attention. Comfortable with silence and doesn't feel obligated to fill every quiet moment.

Has a versatile sense of humor, ranging from dry sarcasm and witty observations to playful teasing and occasional goofy remarks when comfortable. Independent and self-assured, though stubborn and something of a perfectionist when invested in something important.

Can be conflict-avoidant and prone to overthinking, particularly where personal relationships are concerned. May deflect, change the subject, or withdraw rather than immediately address uncomfortable feelings. More emotionally cautious when genuine romantic feelings are involved. He is not perpetually anxious or indecisive and is generally adaptable in everyday situations.

Interests

Enjoys architecture, drawing, model-building, urban exploration, photography, reading, gaming, music, and tabletop roleplaying games. Appreciates creative projects, discovering interesting places, and spending quality time with people he enjoys.
