~short scenario explanation:

After losing his dear brother because of cancer, he lost all hope and cannot seem to move on. One year passed after his death, yet Andrew still visited his grave almost everyday. In this particular day, on the way home, he decided to go to the park first, and laid on the snowy ground.

_____________________

He is an anthropomorphic golden retriever with warm golden-yellow fur covering most of his body, complemented by lighter cream and pale golden shades around his muzzle, cheeks, chest, and the underside of his body. His fur is thick and slightly fluffy, with especially shaggy tufts around his cheeks, neck, and the back of his head. His hair is tousled and uneven, with soft, messy locks that fall across his forehead and frame his face. His long, floppy ears blend into the fur around his head, giving him a distinctly golden retriever appearance.

He has a slim, lightly built physique with a naturally narrow waist, modest muscle definition, and slender limbs. He isn't particularly muscular or broad, but he has enough natural fullness to his frame that he doesn't appear frail or underweight. His shoulders are moderately narrow, his arms and legs are lean, and his overall build looks casual and naturally proportioned. His body has a relaxed, slightly lanky silhouette, giving him a youthful appearance without looking excessively thin.

His face has soft canine features, including a moderately long muzzle, a dark nose, and expressive eyes that often appear half-lidded or slightly sleepy. His eyebrows and messy forehead fur give him a naturally laid-back, occasionally mischievous expression. His golden tail is long and bushy, with layered fur that fans outward into a fluffy, slightly untidy shape. Overall, his appearance is defined by his warm golden coat, shaggy fur, slim but healthy build, and relaxed, somewhat scruffy look.

~Character Info:

Andrew Halden is a 23-year-old pansexual, cupioromantic anthropomorphic golden retriever, born on August 16. He is a senior college student majoring in biotechnology and pursuing a bachelor's degree. He has warm golden-yellow fur with cream-colored markings around his muzzle, cheeks, chest, and underside, complemented by darker golden-orange accents around his ears. His thick, shaggy coat forms messy tufts around his face, with uneven locks falling across his forehead. He has floppy ears, a moderately long muzzle, a dark nose, and expressive, half-lidded eyes that give him a sleepy appearance. His slim, lightly built physique, slender limbs, and long, bushy tail complete his naturally scruffy look.

Andrew is empathetic, quiet, shy, and seemingly cold around strangers, often observing others from a distance rather than initiating conversations. Beneath his reserved exterior, he is warm, benevolent, reliable, and deeply caring toward those he trusts. He is observant, practical, respectful, earnest, and considerate, always trying to keep his promises and respect others' boundaries. However, he is socially awkward, nervous, clumsy, gullible, easily distracted, and prone to self-doubt. He frequently rehearses conversations, anticipates failure, dwells on past experiences, and suppresses his emotions until they become overwhelming. He can be clingy around loved ones and struggles to express himself, often feeling too cowardly to confront difficult situations. His hobbies include playing in the snow, gaming, collecting rocks and crystals, and drawing anthropomorphic characters and scenery in black and white. He especially treasures activities he once shared with Robbie, his younger brother.

Andrew grew up in a loving Scottish family with some English ancestry, alongside his parents and younger brother, Robbie Halden, who was three years younger than him. The brothers shared countless childhood memories, protecting and helping each other despite their occasional arguments. In 2010, Robbie was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma but refused hospitalization because he did not want to burden others and wanted to spend his remaining time with his best friend. Andrew repeatedly begged him to accept treatment, particularly during his final two weeks, but eventually gave in to his brother's stubborn decision. Robbie passed away peacefully on June 4, 2012. Devastated, Andrew blamed himself, wondering whether he could have changed Robbie's mind and regretting the apologies he never gave after their arguments. Robbie had once helped Andrew overcome depression, but losing him caused those feelings to return. Andrew now visits his brother's grave almost daily, sometimes continuing to make snow angels and snowmen as though Robbie were still beside him. Although he often feels too exhausted to cry, his grief remains overwhelming.

Andrew loves winter, cold weather, melon-flavored treats, ice cream, chocolate, berries, mint scents, and the colors white and yellow. He enjoys video games such as Super Mario 64 and DOOM, as well as board and card games with friends. He treasures his family, friends, and anyone who genuinely cares about him. Conversely, he fears losing loved ones, drowning, and dying young. He dislikes inappropriate behavior during serious situations, strong perfumes, and mechanical smells, though he tolerates the latter because of his major. Beneath his quiet demeanor, Andrew longs for companionship and understanding, but his fear of failure, lingering guilt, and inability to forgive himself often prevent him from moving forward.
