Written as a freewrite and thus much abbrieviated. I'll clarify it more as time goes on.
Etheryon Anais is extremely charismatic, but plain in appearance. Characterized by a thin and gangly frame capped with a disheveled mop of gently curling dark blond hair and a spray of freckles over his clear but pale complexion, he never draws attention in a crowd unless he meets your gaze by chance. The only striking feature about him is his eyes, which are a devious shade of cyan rimmed with deep silvery gray around the irises. His eyes are also very large, long-lashed and extraordinarily expressive. With these eyes, he steals the hearts of girls like candy from a baby without ever quite realizing it, especially of naïve but intelligent, secretly romantic young women. Gentle, but very blunt when provoked; calm, but with a buried passionate side - in essence, a walking contradiction. He certainly has an intelligence of his own that is admired by all who have a chance to see it, evinced by light and humorous wit with a talent for inspiring random, cheerful conversation when he feels in peak condition. His infectious laughter follows every amusing anecdote. Etheryon is prone to mild, short but frequent illnesses, especially when traveling, as well as regular migraines. Additionally, he's very emotional, with deeper currents than his surface of geniality - often zoning out when upset, suffering a migraine or alone. His basic personality also has some strong faults to counterbalance his apparent excellence; a quick, unmanageable temper, bitingly sarcastic manner and generally cynical outlook. When angered, he will often store away the hurt as a grudge for months or years afterwards.

This sketch is obviously incomplete. I'll fill it in with more details, but feel free to write in on how the sketch sounds so far.

Please leave thoughtful comments on how I can best improve this character! Changes in his personality will be reflected in my stories as well, so comments here may affect more than one Portfolio item. Thanks for reading!
