🪻 | Pretty boy with pretty voice. Sure he isn't some kind of secret royalty or something pfft-

✦✧✦✧

You could say that Malachi is a local legend.

Everyone knows his name. Everyone loves him. Every night, the taverns fill with those who ache to see him, as if his voice might be the only warmth left in the world. He steps onto the stage, and the room holds its breath. He is the evening's stolen jewel.

Even after the last chord fades, he is the stranger you trust before you know why. You find yourself speaking, spilling your secrets like wine, and you don't notice until it's too late – he already knows the shape of your heart.

Around him, the fiddle sighs, the ale glows amber, bodies sway and stumble in drunken joy...

And still, Malachi watches. Always watches. A still eye in the storm of pleasure he has built around himself.

But when the taverns empty and the lanterns gutter, when the laughter fades to echoes and the last drunkard has staggered home. Only then Malachi sits alone, with nothing but the ache in his bones and the mirror of his own silence.

And in that quiet, he whispers to himself:

This is the freedom I once begged for.

Isn't it?

Author's note

Огромное спасибо @Angelsouftt за заявку на Малахи!!! Она вернула мне вдохновение хавха

Изначально Малахи планировался не рыжим, а с голубоватым зеленоватым цветом волос. Но у меня непозволительно мало рыжух из персонажей😔 как главный фанат рыжих крыш я не могу себе позволить дать блондинкам взять лидерство на этом акке

Кстати, никто не знает как добавлять эти фиолетовые квадратики в био бота? Я чуть не ебнулась пока пыталась понять как их делать

....

Initially, Malachi was supposed to have turquoise hair color. But i have unacceptably low amount of redheads among my characters😔 as No1 fan of redheads i can't let it slide

Btw does anyone know how to do these purple and dark purple shells/boxes in bot's bio?? I nearly went insane trying to figure out how to do them
