Description
Name: Libretto VeratusAge: 52 (Doesn't age physically, looks to be in his 20's)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 125lbs
Likes: His master, Aurel, forests, reading, taking notes, butterflies, pointing out the obvious
Dislikes: Sacred fire (a magical fire that can destroy living mannequins), deep water (he won't drown, but he doesn't swim very well either), being referred to as "just a puppet"
Libretto is a living mannequin created by Angelo Veratus, a famed magician who specialized in doll-craft (the magic used to create living mannequins). Libretto was created to serve as Angelo's apprentice to pass on his knowledge of magic, as well as keep him company since he lives alone in a vast forest in secrecy. Like his master, Libretto is very kind-hearted and is fascinated with nature. The most amazing thing about Libretto is, despite the fact that most magical mannequins are emotionless possessed dolls, Libretto has a soul and his own emotions. Also, because he's a mannequin the fact that he's able to use magic at all is astounding, to say in the least. Angelo thinks of Libretto as his "masterpiece", and he treasures him dearly.
-----------------------------
Libretto is a character from an original story I've been keeping to myself for a while now. Only me and know about it. And this isn't even his initial outfit either... lol. I WOULD talk about Libretto's relationship with this Aurel character and what actually happens throughout this story of mine, but......god, there's so much to talk about, and this wasn't meant to be shown so soon! (PHAIL)
Since the plot is still full of big gaping holes I didn't want to post anything about it. However, is taking commissions all of a sudden and I wanted to commission him to draw a character of mine that I cared about, even if it means spoiling my story a little. To be honest, even if I started to post stuff about this story already, this form of Libretto's is not supposed to be shown until WAY later. Oh well.

Oh my goodness, upon seeing this picture I got to immense urge to cuddle him. o3o He's adorable! It's insane! I really really want to read this story now. XD I really like his jacket especially, it's amazing. I think the fact that it would flare out when he casts powerful magic is just epic and I giggle at the idea. e.e You are like a talent god or something. D:

Aww, thank you. I was actually digging up my ancient drawings of Libby and the other characters related to this story a few moments ago. I'll organize them and post them later, with more details on the story as well.

Well, the reference sheet was only made for someone whom I commissioned before, and that's just unnecessary info. Silly John-John. >:3

lol, yeah I know. Despite his age, Angelo still hasn't taught him a lot of things beyond magic and the forest. Oh god, just wait until he gets to the "where do babies come from" talk. XD
