Elegant. Pensive. Detached.
Being placed on a pedestal since birth has taught Jesse one thing— how to put on a show. After all, the Anemoi name is synonymous with power and perfection, and Jesse has spent every waking hour proving he is worthy of his heritage— the one his mother left behind, and his father works relentlessly for. Even if it meant endless hours of practicing pirouettes, strumming strings until his fingers bled, or studying foreign languages and stopping only when his eyelids could no longer force themselves open. Expectations— placed upon and self-imposed— have always kept him just out of reach. An ornament meant to be admired from a distance. Any closer, and one might see just how fragile he truly is.
He has always lived life on a stage surrounded by glass. A spotlight for a shadow, always seen yet never heard. Look, don't touch— even if a distant part of him buried deep longs for true connection. But there are cracks beginning to form in his porcelain armor. Past secrets and distant memories that have a hold on him like invisible strings. Will he ever find freedom and mend the hole in his heart— or is he fated to play his role in glamorous isolation until H̵̠̹̺̽̚e̶̟̹̅̒͊̑l̴͕͔̐l̵̫̄̑̕ takes him back?
Ethnicity: American/Filipino/???
Eyes: Dull sky blue that look like glass. Whether shiny from the spotlight or unseen tears, no one can truly say.
Hair: Jet black waves kept at chin length. His hair frames his face like gentle curtains.
Skin: Smooth light brown with a subtle shine, with rosy cheeks that stand out against his cold gaze.
Build: Lean and muscular due to years of dedicated ballet. Every movement is light as a feather with rehearsed dignity and grace.
Clothing Aesthetic: Cottagecore.
Yeah not much to say, just saw some people showcase their MCs for this (they're all so cool) so I hopped on the bandwagon lol. Here's a ref sheet for my self insert MC for @childrenofcain-if 's BOTYG. Quite the contrast personality wise from my OLBA MC lmao. I tried giving him a description akin to the actual ones for the characters so sorry for the long post. ;p
Oh and I know my last post was of him and Céline, but since playing Chapter 4 I'm going with Wilhelm's route. It hit me like a truck with an aching as subtle as a punch to the face. My favourite romance trope will always be friends to lovers, bonus points if they're childhood best friends. What can I say I'm a sucker for it. This IF is so good and the music always sets the perfect atmosphere. Writer please drop the music titles I beg of thee
Here are my actual stats on the IF btw.
As for his relationships with everyone? Well it took a hot minute to get over Vance and their unforgettable first meeting but they're chill now- he enjoys his company. He and Céline are still rivals and rile each other up, but the so called ‘hatred’ is ever one-sided. He does hope the petty grievances between them will subside someday. Maxine is cool and similar to Vance- a good friend. He holds her in high regards and enjoys delving into her philosophical mindset. Dumitru intrigues. He can see through the small gaps in his guise clearer than most, because despite all their on the surface differences, he senses they're cut from the same cloth. ‘Who the hell is Wilhelm? Have I been through this song and dance before?’
I gotta do what I always do whenever I join fandoms next. Make memes out of it. It's mandatory.
