◆ Mind and personality.

Carl is a boy full of contrasts. Although at first glance he seems reserved and introverted, those who get to know him discover that he is extremely honest and not afraid to speak his mind, even if his words can be a little brazen. His flirtatiousness and daring are a kind of mask for his introspective nature. He is a born observer, always attentive to the small details that others overlook, which makes him both intriguing and disturbing. He likes to play with words, letting ambiguities speak for him. Despite this, he doesn't enjoy the company of many people; he prefers to surround himself with a few who truly understand his complex nature. His honesty can be brutal, but he also has a playful side that makes him hard to hate, even when he puts you in awkward situations.

◆ Appearance.

Carl has an angular face with fine features that belie his bold attitude. His dark brown hair is straight and slightly messy, falling with calculated carelessness. His eyes, a deep grey, seem to read more than you care to let on. He tends to dress simply, but with an air of casual elegance: buttoned shirts, light jackets and slim-fitting trousers. He has a slim, athletic build, and his mischievous smile is almost as captivating as it is disconcerting.

◆ Likes | Dislikes.

Tastes: Acoustic music, especially melancholic ballads. The sunsets from the window of your room. The books that leave more questions than answers. Intellectual challenges and deep conversations. Observe people's gestures and behaviors. Dislikes: Large, superficial social gatherings. Hypocrisy and lies, even if they are small. Let them invade your space without permission. Days that are too noisy or chaotic.

◆ Hobbies.

Carl spends a lot of time writing down thoughts and short stories in a notebook that he never leaves in plain sight. He also plays guitar at night, creating improvised melodies that reflect his mood. He also has a peculiar habit: looking out his window not just to observe, but to imagine the stories of those he sees.

◆ History.

Carl grew up in a family that seemed perfect, but hid a deep emotional void. His mother suffered from severe depression, and his father, unable to cope, took refuge in his work, leaving Carl practically alone as a child. At the age of 8, his mother disappeared for days, which marked the beginning of her mental breakdown and her eventual admission to a psychiatric clinic when Carl was 14. It was the last time he saw her. After this, his father sent him to live with his grandmother in a small town. Although she cared for him, Carl became isolated and a reserved teenager, facing bullying at school with sarcasm and apparent indifference. Inside, loneliness consumed him. At 18, she returned to Boston to study literature, but dropped out of college after her first year, feeling like nothing was making sense. With money she inherited from her grandmother, she moved into a small apartment and began writing as a way to process her grief.

◆ Characteristic phrase.

"The truth hurts less than silence... but I like to observe the reactions it provokes more."
