Actually. Hereās a thing.
Below: all canon physical descriptors of the characters. That I remember. And likely some that are made up bc my brain doesnāt have a working file system.
If any of them are incorrect please do let me know! And if there is anything significant I missed out, let me know that too! It will be very helpful as I finalize their designs š
To be clear, my intention is NOT to be canon patrol. I love love love seeing all the different interpretations of characters. They are all so wonderful and distinctive and personal.
My own design development has been based on given details + incorporation of my own ideas, imaginings, etc. (Oft they are self-indulgent too. Always fighting the urge to put freckles and diastemas and prominent noses on every single person I ever draw)
Without further ado. A masterpost of sorts.
Race/ethnicity unspecified (personally imagine her with Desi roots, through Maura ofc. Artemus is her Welsh half. Presumably. His DNA may just be chloroplastsā¦)
Short dark uneven hair, often held in place with clips
Weirdo clothes (affectionate). Lots of self-made or secondhand items and layering.
Contacts mostly, gold wire-rims otherwise
High cheekbones. I think heās even described as having a āregalā face structure but I couldāve pulled that outta my ass
Good hair (usually styled)
Not very hairy, Ronan makes fun of him for not being able to grow a beard and Blue remarks as much at toga party
Golf club clothes fršŖ¦ boat shoesšŖ¦šŖ¦ fancy watch
āWhite trash.ā Really he is just some Creature
Heās beautiful but itās unconventional enough that he refuses to believe it
Dirt/sand colored hair that he cuts on his own. Perhaps he is the Sandman (google just told me the Sandman controls dreams. Idk what fucked up esotericism I just unearthed. Haha āearthā like Adamās hair. I am sleep deprived)
āBarely thereā eyebrows
Long delicate hands (thnx Ronan)
Straight teeth (thnx Ronan?)
I genuinely cannot recall any instance of him being described with freckles. Did we all just collectively decide this
Secondhand uniform. Washed out/frayed. Always wears a cheap watch until he gives it to Opal in TRK. In TDT he has a dreamt watch that shows the time of wherever Ronan is
Casual: basic tees (infamous coca cola,, I think he looks so good in red tho) and jeans and maybe cargos? Unsure on the last one. Has been described wearing boots. Probably sneakers too but I donāt remember a specific instance
Work: mechanic overalls for the most part. Heās often streaked and greasy from fixing cars
(These three descriptors highly influence how I draw him: elegant, gaunt, sepia)
Irish ancestry (again, presumably. He wasnāt exactly bred)
Dark brown hair. Buzzed. Naturally curly
Misses one shave and looks like he crawled out of the backrooms (also affectionate)
Back tattoo (later: left arm)
Niall clone. They look the same
I believe Declan has been described with a Roman nose, and the Gray Man notes some of the brothersā facial similarities, including their noses. In conclusion Ronanās nose is arched in some sense
Mostly black clothes. Tanks and jeans and boots and leather jackets. Leather bracelets that used to be Niallās.
Incapable of wearing uniform properly. Loose tie, untucked shirt, just imagining him in the suit jacket is an atrocity
Czerny is a Slavic surname
Pale. Light hair, eyes, and skin
āSmudgeā over his left cheekbone
Timid disposition, often slouching/making himself smaller
Perpetually disheveled Aglionby uniform
My guy wears Topsiders⦠(this makes sense but it also makes me uneasy. Heās a Vans kid in spirit. Is it even possible for him to change clothes, I have no idea. Weekends wearing Aglionby uniform would raise questions, but then again many other things shouldāve raised questions too)
When heās feeling particularly ghosty he becomes transparent/blurred/difficult to focus on
Close to the end he starts lookin dead dead without Blueās amplifying. I think bones n rotting flesh n stuff? Though I think what Blue perceives to be a terribly dead Noah is mainly metaphysical
No idea about height. I imagine him somewhere between Gansey and Adam
Spiked hair. But in a very deliberate Aglionby way idk
Wears showy clothing/accessories
Has been caught in HD in a Madonna tshirt
