Note: info in this first post is just a copy/paste of his profile as it was written initially.
Name: Howl Wickham
Nicknames: Pretty boy, School hot chick (dubbed by Hillworth students)
Age: 16 years
Birthday: September 30
Sign: Libra
Blood Type: AB
Fav. Food: Fruit Salad (and all types of tea)
Hated Food: Anything overly greasy
School: Hillworth Grammar
Hobbies:
Writing/Calligraphy - Howl has a very steady hand and likes to use this to his advantage. He practices writing in calligraphy during his free time in hopes of making his letters extremely elegant.
Fencing - Part of the reason why Howl has such a steady hand is that he had been raised to fence since he was little. He is not the most skilled in this arena, but he is able to sufficiently defend himself should he need to.
Gardening - Being a relatively gentle soul, he can give flowers the nurturing that they need to bloom. Even in the dorms, he still keeps a potted plant to take care of.
People watching - People are such interesting creatures, or at least Howl thinks so. He can spend much time in a public location, like a cafe, just watching people to see how they act. This hobby is much more mild now than it used to be. Before he went to Hillworth, he took this hobby to the extreme where he got a restraining order as a result.
Gemstone: Sapphire
Virtues:
Refined -- Howl appreciates the finer things in life and in turn, acts quite mature. Rarely (if ever) can he be seen acting childish, and usually can come across as a good example. He is very particular about his mannerisms and will make certain to not act in a fashion that would embarrass or shame himself. Commonly his mannerisms are also read as effeminate.
Kind -- Despite how unapproachable he can seem, Howl is actually quite kind. He takes great care in the well being of other people. He is especially well behaved with other students at school and with others he works with.
Cooperative -- Howl works well with nearly everyone. He is not out to look for a fight, and he aims for solutions that will benefit everyone as best as possible. He makes a splendid subordinate as a result. Occasionally submits to one of his flaws and looks out for himself instead of the group though.
Observant - Howl is the young man who will notice when someone got a haircut or is wearing a new shirt. He's the one who would notice when a girl is not wearing a ring she is usually seen wearing. He's the one who remembers that a friend prefers his coffee with cream and a teaspoon of sugar, no more, no less. He'll remember little details, and if for some reason he suspects he won't remember, he will write down the information in his journal. If anything, his observant ways are probably what led him into watching people the first place.
Flaws:
Indecisive -- Howl tends to flip flop ideas through his head, usually weighing both positive and negative perspectives on anything. Doing such makes it hard for him to make any snap decisions. It prevents him from making a good leader.
Narcissist -- Howl is beautiful and knows it. Though he is not outwardly obnoxious about it, he will go out of his way to remain beautiful in near any situation. He will sometimes make decisions that are not in everyone's best interests SOLELY because he doesn't want to get his boots dirty or some sort of petty reason. Usually this is the only reason why he'd make a decision against orders.
Obsessive -- He can get quite fixated on objects and people rather easily. When he finds something to fixate on, it can make him seem a bit distanced from others. Or if you are the object of his affection/fixation, you might end up feeling uncomfortable. During his time at Hillworth, he has been becoming less fixated on particular objects and people through therapy (it is assumed he is also taking medicine).
Guarded - There are few that Howl will call a "friend" over the title of "acquaintance," and even fewer that he can genuinely say he trusts. Perhaps it is just his formal mannerisms getting in the way of forming any close relationships, or maybe it branched off from some of his obsession issues, but Howl is not an open book to be read by anybody. If there is a way to avoid mention of something he doesn't want a person to know, Howl will take that route by tastefully omitting key details or changing the topic altogether.
Physical Description:
Hair: His hair is a rich turquoise blue. It is long and usually swept up in a high ponytail. When outside of school/class, he wears 2 golden hair sticks with turquoise colored gems hanging off the ends. When in class, he usually doesn't wear such, just because he'd get in trouble.
Eyes: Turquoise in color, extremely feminine in appearance (he has longer eye lashes than the usual guy)
Face: Fair skin, extremely feminine in appearance/shape. No blemishes, beauty marks, or freckles. He has his left nostril pierced with a gold stud. He also wears two dangling earrings (one on each ear) with gold onsets + long turquoise colored gems hanging down.
Body: Fair skin, slender, and lacking in vast muscular structure. Comes across as feminine as a result. His height is 5'8"
Fashion: Outside of the Academy, Howl can be commonly seen in very well-thought out clothing. Meaning, his clothing actually matches and works well with his features. His clothing is still masculine, but he is the sort who could pull off cross dressing if he really wanted to (and trust me, he doesn't want to). His sense of fashion is a bit more formal than most would wear for casually. Extreme casual wear for Howl is wearing a sweater, slacks, and a scarf.
