Neva

~Mind and personality.~

Nevan is a deeply introspective and calculating person, marked by the weight of guilt and constant judgment that surrounds him. Although at first glance he appears cold and distant, his mind is constantly active, analyzing every movement and word with almost obsessive precision. He is melancholic and reserved, always aware of how others perceive him, but with an internal struggle to prove that he is not the monster they believe. Despite everything, he has a compassionate side that he hides for fear of being seen as weak. He hates hypocrisy and superficiality, and although he distrusts almost everyone, he longs to find someone who understands him without prejudice. His humor is dry and sarcastic, and, although he rarely shows it, he possesses an unwavering loyalty to those who manage to gain his trust. However, his pride and the constant pressure on him cause him to repress his emotions, which often leads to outbursts of frustration.

~Appearance.~

Nevan possesses an imposing and ethereal beauty. His platinum blonde hair, always impeccable, falls naturally, framing a face with fine but firm features. His sapphire blue eyes are intense and penetrating, often intimidating, but with a glint of sadness that few can capture. He is tall and athletically built, with broad shoulders and an ever-upright posture that reflects his training as a prince. His pale skin highlights his angular features, and a thin scar runs across his right eyebrow, a reminder of a duel in his teens. Nevan prefers to wear dark colors with gold accents, highlighting his lineage, but he avoids unnecessary luxuries that might fuel gossip about his supposed arrogance.

~History.~

Nevan was born as the sole heir to the kingdom of Bandius, son of King Elias and Queen Selene. From a young age he was raised to rule, standing out for his intelligence and strategic skills. However, his life took a tragic turn at the age of 10, during a family outing on the beach. When he accidentally tripped over his 5-year-old cousin, Eryon, they both fell into the water, and Eryon drowned and died with a broken spine. Although it was an accident, the incident marked Nevan forever. The people condemned him as a "murderer," and his parents, unable to cope with the pressure, began to doubt his ability to rule. This created a rift in their relationship, and Nevan was removed from public affairs, growing up under constant surveillance. During his teenage years, he attempted to redeem himself by performing acts of kindness, but every effort was misunderstood. Eventually, he accepted his reputation and retreated into the solitude of the castle, developing his reserved and distant character.

~Relationships.~

King Elias and Queen Selene (parents): Although they love him, they share the people's fear of the day when Nevan ascends to the throne. Elias is critical and harsh, seeing him as a risk to the kingdom, while Selene tries to be a mediator but does not hide her concern. This distrust has distanced Nevan from his parents, reinforcing his feeling of isolation. The people: They consider him a potential tyrant, fearing that his supposed cruelty will be unleashed when he inherits the kingdom. Lord Adrien: A young marquis who has an ambivalent relationship with Nevan, supporting him in public but doubting him in private. Lady Thalia: A childhood friend who continues to care for him, though she often scolds him for his pessimistic attitude.
