On the surface, twelve-year-old Ducklingboy presents a picture of perpetual worry. His brow is often furrowed, his expression perpetually fresh and slightly panicked, giving the impression of a deeply introverted child. Small for his age, his overall appearance amplifies this perception of vulnerability. He's a figure easily overlooked, always seeming on the verge of retreating into himself.
However, beneath the surface lies a quiet determination. Ducklingboy yearns to be reliable, a strong figure others can depend on. This desire is coupled with a surprising stubborn streak. He's also, to put it delicately, curious, a trait betrayed by the occasional furtive glance at content he probably shouldn't be viewing.
His attire is strikingly consistent: a bright yellow cap, a short-sleeved yellow hoodie, white short shorts, and yellow high-top shoes. Combined with his matching yellow hair and bright, inquisitive eyes, Ducklingboy is undeniably cute, a visual contradiction to his anxious demeanor. He's a puzzle wrapped in sunshine-yellow clothing, a boy striving to be more than the nervous child the world sees.
