His jawline is sharp, his face slightly elongated, and his nose bridge is prominent yet elegant. His eyes are almond-shaped and green, with a penetrating gaze. His right eye possesses a hidden allure, while his left eye is partially visible beneath his locks of hair. There is light shading under his eyes, giving him a slightly melancholic or sleepy air. His eyebrows are thin, neatly arched, and positioned to match the shape of his eyes. His hair is dark green (a shade between mint and emerald) and slightly wavy. His front bangs are long, slightly covering his forehead, and fall gracefully to either side of his face. A few strands of hair, extending from his ears, frame his face. The left side of his hair appears slightly longer and is slightly curved outward at ear level. The back of his hair extends to his neckline and is neatly trimmed. EVERYDAY CLOTHES Outerwear (Jacket and Shirt) He wears a very stylish uniform. The main color is black, with details in shades of gold, red, and emerald green. A black and gold striped epaulette stripe crosses the jacket across his left shoulder. This stripe is connected to a medal: a star-shaped medal pin with a gold tassel. It is attached with a gold chain and is quite ornate. A vibrant red cape is worn on his right shoulder. It only covers half of his shoulder, adding a dramatic and regal touch to the uniform. The jacket is double-breasted, double-breasted, and adorned with gold buttons. The bottom of the shirt is open, revealing a white shirt underneath. The sleeves of the jacket are decorated with gold diamond-patterned embroidery on a black background. A black velvet band runs along the elbow of the left arm.

The collar is neat and high. Lower Clothing (Trousers and Shoes) The trousers are black, slim-cut, and well-fitting. They make the legs appear slim and long.

The upper part of the jacket is adorned with dark gray-black geometric patterns in a diamond pattern. These patterns form the center. A scaly, emerald-feathered texture runs diagonally from the shoulder to the chest—almost reminiscent of the armor of a dragon-like or mythological creature. The jacket's upper section features a double row of gold buttons. These buttons aren't classic; they're slightly rounded, sculpted, and shiny. The sleeves feature feather-like textures, with an emerald tint, resembling scales or wings. These details evoke dragon motifs. The inside of the jacket features the same teal lining detailing, adding a deliberate, energetic contrast to the character's outfit. Pants The pants are black and gray, slim-cut, and quite streamlined. They appear slightly gathered below the knees, but they are perfectly tailored. The legs fit neatly over the shoes in a classic style, without a single wrinkle. There are no extra stripes or pocket details on the sides or back of the pants; a minimalist yet elegant design.
