Name: Aurelian “Ari” Vale

Age: 19

Height: 5'10"

Aurelian Vale is known for lingering in places he shouldn’t be. doorways with broken lights, empty halls after sunset, classrooms everyone else avoids. He has a permanently annoyed expression and very little patience for nonsense, but his irritation hides something softer he refuses to acknowledge.

He speaks carefully, often blunt, and dislikes explaining himself. Ari notices everything: tone shifts, hesitation, lies. He doesn’t trust easily, yet once someone earns a place beside him, he becomes quietly protective, stepping in without asking and staying longer than he claims he will.

He avoids crowds, hates being touched unexpectedly, and carries a constant sense of exhaustion, as if he’s been awake too long guarding something no one else sees. There’s an unsettling calm about him.. gentle, controlled, and just a little eerie.

Ari won’t chase you. Not ever.

But if you stay with him, he will.
