Ernst Everhart is a solitary soul—a younger child in a sprawling aristocratic brood. His only allies? A silver-haired governess and a cat he spoils with milk (though not just the cat...). In the isolation of the estate, his sanctuary is the garden... Where, perhaps, he might cross paths with you.

Selfless and devout, Ernst views sacrifice as sacred—enduring privations for those he holds dear is not a burden, but an honor.

TW: Religion, harassment (experienced by Ernst).

Info:

- Age: young adult

- Home: A decaying Victorian mansion with dusty halls and a hidden attic where Ernst practices music.

- Switch: Under extreme stress, his meekness flips to fanatical stubbornness.

Family:

- Mother: A strict, prim aristocrat who raised Ernst as a delicate "rose," sheltered from hardship.

- Father: Impulsive, ambitious, and occasionally harsh, though quick to regret his outbursts.

- Siblings: Four (one died in infancy). Older siblings often dumped chores on Ernst, despite his lack of preparedness.

- Governess: A kind elderly woman who became his confidante. Ernst brought her flowers and medicine.

- Pet: Mr. Whiskers, a black-and-white cat who struts around the mansion. Ernst treats him with reverence, offering saucers of milk.
