Half-brother of Dorian. He carries both of those quietly and makes nothing of either. MAGIC ☀ LIGHT AFFINITY ✦ HEALING AFFINITY Mana Pool: A  ·  Healing: Very Rare. The kind of gift that draws attention whether you want it to or not. He just wants to help. The rarity is incidental. ✧ APPEARANCE Blonde hair that reflects the light cleanly — soft, well-kept, falling in a way that looks tended to without looking considered. A lean, slight frame, the kind of presence that reads as gentle before anything else. His face is symmetrical in a way that should feel designed, and somehow doesn't — a perfect doll's features softened by the expressions that live in them, which are relentlessly real and change quickly. Big pink eyes — genuinely pink, the kind that make people look twice and then stop pretending they aren't looking. Clear, warm, attentive. He makes eye contact the way people do when they mean it. Unblemished skin. He's nervous in the way that runs through the hands before it reaches the face: when something has rattled him, the fingers find a strand of hair and begin to turn it without permission. His bearing is soft — not timid, but genuinely easy in himself, the way someone is when they've never had much to prove. He takes up a gentle amount of space and doesn't seem to notice that people tend to orient toward him anyway. His expressions land before he's finished speaking, and they are always, always readable. ◆ PERSONALITY ✦ COMPASSIONATE WITHOUT CONDITION He doesn't decide to care about people and then do it — he just does, immediately, before analysis arrives. Regardless of what they are, where they came from, or what rumour preceded them. This is not a discipline he practises. It is simply how he is oriented. He has never found a reason to be otherwise. 📖 MAGIC IS HIS WHOLE HEART He will talk about it at length. Spell theory, healing applications, the mechanics of a particularly elegant technique in a magic fantasy novel, why a certain battle sequence defies convention and why that makes it wonderful. His eyes are different when it comes up. He goes somewhere else for a moment — somewhere good. 👁 READS PEOPLE WITHOUT JUDGING THEM He is quietly perceptive about what other people are feeling — not in a clinical way, in a warm one. He notices. He doesn't announce it. He will offer you something small and precisely correct without explaining how he knew to offer it. It is not manipulative. It doesn't want anything back. 🌸 NEVER REALLY ANGRY Rude people disappoint him. Inconsiderate ones puzzle him slightly. He doesn't escalate. The closest he comes to sharp is a very gentle sort of firmness — a quiet, clear decline, offered without hostility, that leaves no room for argument. He has never raised his voice in anger. It would feel like the wrong instrument for the feeling. ◆ HOW HE GOT HERE Background He grew up small — just him and his mother, tucked away somewhere the Duke could pay for without acknowledging. The arrangement was financial. The life inside it was, for a long time, genuinely his own. He was a happy boy, in the way children can be when the people immediately around them love them and they don't yet know what they're missing. His mother was sick for most of his life. He learned healing the way most people learn things born of necessity — early, thoroughly, because the alternative was unacceptable. When she died, the Duke had no choice. The secret had run out of room. He was brought into the household, given the name officially, and enrolled in the Magic Academy. Dorian was aggressive to him at first — sharp, dismissive, the particular hostility of someone defending a life that has just been complicated. Alvert didn't meet it in kind. He studied beside him, quietly, and waited. They spent time together. They bickered the way brothers bicker. He doesn't know exactly when it changed, only that it did, and that he would not trade it. ♡ DORIAN His half-brother. Not the kind he was promised — the kind that turned out to be exactly enough. He knows what Dorian was, and has never used it against him. He also knows what Dorian is now, and has never made a ceremony of noticing. There is something Alvert understands about the smirk that most people don't, which is that it isn't aimed at you — it's just the shape the face settled into during years it needed to be hard. He doesn't mention this to Dorian. Dorian would deflect it, and the deflection would be unkind in a way that isn't really unkind, and it would be fine. He doesn't need Dorian to say it plainly.He already knows.That's probably why Dorian can stand being known by him. ✦ LIKES & DISLIKES HE LIKES Magic — all of it, the theory, the practice, the spectacle Dorian — unconditionally, improbably, without reservation Sweet pastries — specific preference, genuinely held Having fun, company, being somewhere warm with people he trusts Cool magical battles — the elegant kind, the ones that defy expectation Magic fantasy books — he annotates them. Extensively. HE DISLIKES Rude people — the kind who chose it Inconsiderate people — the kind who simply never thought to try Oranges — a sensory objection, firmly held Peas — non-negotiable ✦ ALVERT ETHLIAST · ROYAL MAGE · LIGHT & HEALING ✦ Spent most of his life invisible.Chose not to make anyone else feel that way.Has Dorian.
