romantic || trivial || fierce || contradictory
Ianthe is so much like his mother but would never allow someone else to tell him that. He's very wistful, very romantic; he falls in love quickly and helpless to stop it. He finds good and attractive things in everybody, no matter what they are, and he compliments others with an affectionate freedom that earns him many friends. Ianthe knows what it is like to feel unattractive or unwanted and so when he introduces himself to someone he often does it with a compliment: "Hi, I'm Ianthe, your eyes are beautiful" or "Hello there, Ianthe, you have lovely feet". But don't let his good nature fool you; Ianthe gets in half as many fights as he starts, and he's often the star of a battle between rivals. (Ianthe insists he never purposefully sets viscets up against each other, but somehow it always looks like he does.) He's a skilled fighter and incredibly light on his feet, having spent his childhood in the thick slog of wet sand. He's strong in the shoulders, in his legs; he can withstand an incredible amount of pain without flinching due singularly to his build. Perhaps due to his biological sex he is also very thin and feminine, but this doesn't stop him any.
Ianthe finds little things illuminating and likes listening to other viscets talk about whatever excites them; he will lay beside someone and listen to them rant about the stars without ever looking bored, and his interest is genuine. Ianthe is attracted to those things that another loves, which maybe is why he's always somehow getting involved in love triangles. He loves deeply but he hates deeply too, and he has solid opinions on a great number of things that another might not consider. Ianthe cannot be swayed once he has made a decision on something, which can be a dangerous characteristic; but he can be persuaded, so long as he is not approached outright in an attempt to change his mind. He knows a lot of random facts and trivia that will literally never come in handy, and has almost an encyclopedic knowledge about the sea especially, thanks to his mother. He knows a great deal about the science of the sea mostly, how to calculate the waves and oncoming storms and the like.
trivia.
-he has a small silver earring in the shape of a stingray in his left ear [looks like this]
-he doesn't actually remember ever getting the earring, he's just always had it
-his mother's name is/was Keto [a Greek word meaning "sea monsters"]
human form.
Ianthe is tall and slender and very long-limbed. He's got nimble hands with callouses along the rim of his palm. His hair is shorn into a shorter afro style and is a startling shade of dark violet intermixed with paler parts. He has pale eyes that jump out against his darker skin. On his chest he has a small tattoo of a heart done in ultraviolet that is generally unnoticeable unless spotted under a black light. He is not particularly muscular and noticeably feminine in shape, with broader hips than shoulders. He has high, delicate cheekbones and a mouth eager to grin.
