The resin match isn't too great.

Wig:

Fur wigs for that scene kid realness.

Favourite colours:

Black (duh!), pink, white

Fashion style(s):

Emo with a cute touch

Key fashion accessory:

Not a specific accessory per se, but he loves cat motifs and designs.

16

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

"I want to help you too. I'll become a stronger wizard, okay?"

Theo is the protagonist of my novel The Sky Is Our Fortress. Despite his looks, he's shy and awkward and still can't work up the courage to start his own emo band. When he's not listening to music or writing his own songs, he spends his time doodling the floating cities and magical diagrams he's always dreaming about. Until one day he sees one of those diagrams in real life and stumbles straight into a battle between a knight and a dragon.

The next thing he knows, he finds himself bound to the knight with a magical contract. That's how Theo learns he's a wizard, a human who fights by casting spells on familiars from the world of Tielos. This is the last thing Theo wants, but he can't help being intrigued by the handsome yet oddly adorkable knight, Sir Zenith. So he sticks at it, growing closer to Zenith while discovering his own talents as a wizard. Though he has a lot of learning to do, his greatest strengths turn out to be his innate kindness and empathy, allowing him to connect with Zenith on a deeper level than most wizards do with their familiars.
