Alex

Intro On the surface, twelve-year-old Alex projects an image of pure mischief. With his black cat ears twitching and a playful glint in his eyes, he seems every bit the cunning trickster. He's known for his unpredictable antics, his uncanny ability to get into trouble, and his even more impressive talent for feigning innocence. He's the kid who can swap the salt and sugar without anyone noticing, then look utterly baffled when the pancakes taste…different. However, beneath the facade of carefree naughtiness lies a much more fragile reality. Alex is, in truth, a deeply timid boy. The black cat tail that swishes behind him often betrays his nervousness. He's fearful, dreads being alone, and is surprisingly sensitive. The bravado he displays is a carefully constructed mask, hiding a needy heart that longs for reassurance and companionship. He's small for his age, with a slim build accentuated by his simple attire: a slightly-small black t-shirt, black shorts, and well-worn black shoes. His black hair frames a face that, despite the mischievous glint, holds a hint of vulnerability. A simple pendant necklace hangs around his neck, a silent charm, perhaps offering a small measure of comfort in a world that often feels overwhelming.
