Name: Velvel of House Gaius

DEF « 8
MAG « 5
AGI « 4 + 1

Strengths / Weaknesses:
Resilience : when he's set on a goal, all the failed attempts in the world won't make him back down. It's either very brave or very stupid, but still useful for a fresh recruit.
Friendliness : once you get past the weirdness, he can be an absurdly loyal friend.
Imaginative : you know when sometimes insanity and genius tend to look alike ?
Disorganized : sticking to plans ? following a schedule ? can't do.
Slow-learner : he tries his best but his best is just very miserable for now.
Immature : he is in denial of a lot of things, adulthood and responsibilities are only a few of those.
Personality:

Velvel is an odd one for sure. Big unfocused eyes, big pointy grin, big weird dreams condensed in a tiny restless frame. Having a serious conversation with him is a rare feat - usually he's all about extravagant nonsense and random questions. Most people settled with only ordering him around since he is at least very eager to please everyone. Those same people call him dense, even stupid, because he is a very slow learner and horribly clumsy in most tasks he is given. He also tends to be overly emotional, laugh-crying a lot over small things and finding comfort in plushies of his own making. Sometimes it's hard to believe he's twenty, and he's himself pretty self-conscious about his lack of maturity. Only his unyielding resolve makes up for his countless failures : he's not one to give up on anything or anyone. He gets things done...only at a staggeringly slow pace, with a billion bizarre digressions. You might wanna get used to it.

History:

Dear diary,
I don't like to write! But Mom said "Try harder". I still think drawing is better. More sense, less rules! [the four next pages are covered in obscure doodles]
We never had our own House. ⬅The capital H is important. Our kin has been serving in the Houses of others for generations. My mom, dad when he was here, my aunts and uncle, everyone. Once we go into someone else's house, we bear a different name. Okay, maybe we had our own, a long long long time ago? Uncle Zelig says they don't remember, it's been lost. But we look the same, so it's easy to recognize us. Mom says I should write about "our history" anyway. I don't know why. Maids and chauffeurs are kind of boring. And why does it matter? The mean cats call us werewolves sometimes. It's not funny! Dogs stink ! I think ![Caricatures of said "mean cats" fighting "stinky wolves" follow. After those the entries are completely undated]
I like drawing and making toys. The other day I made plushies for the lion cubs, and now I can hear them playing with it. I think they're soldiers now ? One lost an eye already.
Note to self : stitch eyes tighter next time. [more pages of doodles - portraits of young felines, all facing away or seen from afar. Small goofy creatures with big grins elaminate the more realistic studies. Messy unfinished plans and patterns for strange-looking dolls and articulated toys.

Then, covering a full page, a facing portrait of an older woman with thinning hair, maintaining a smile.]
Dear Diary, I think I get it now. Why she gave me the notebook and told me to write more. I'll try harder.

Likes / Dislikes:

- Soft fabrics - New things - Drawing - Sewing - Small and/or weird creatures
- Studying - Cold weather - Schedules - Criticism - Losing his hair

Relationships:

Living relatives :
Hendel (aunt, 45, maid for the House Gaius) ;
Suri (aunt, 48, seamstress) ;
Zelig (uncle, 50, chauffeur) ;
Deceased relatives :
Seff (father, passed at the age of 36, hatter);
Zelde (mother, passed at the age of 44, maid);

Extra:

- Like all his family members, he loses his hair occasionally and has no facial hair - not even eyebrows! He so wishes his hair could stay long and silky forever !
- His resting face is a big smile. He smiles even harder when he's stressed. He also smiles when he wants to be menacing. Confusing, yes.
- He's bad at sigils but since he's even worse at everything else, he enrolled as an apprentice sigilmancer. Some hope his crafting skills may make an adequate puppeteer out of him. Eventually.
