Torio is difficult to get a read on. He spends all of his time in the woods, with the birds, so he's incredibly shy when meeting someone, liable to crouch behind brushes or trunks and stare. He's so very careful never to be seen too that those infrequent times he is there's always an undercurrent of fear. But if Torio can be convinced to open up, he reveals quite an genuine personality. He's very smart, and selfless, and loyal; and he holds tight to his friends when he makes them, no matter what. He gets along fairly well with anyone he can be persuaded to sit down and talk to, because he is so pleasantly mild. He doesn't seem to ever get worked up into a mood, or become annoyed, or become sad. Rather Torio focuses on finding beauty in the little things, and that always buoys his spirits if something is bringing him down. He doesn't mind companionship but nor does he mind being alone, and he's accompanied always by a bird anyway, at least one of them on his shoulder or by his feet or sitting above him in a tree. So he doesn't think he's ever really alone.
He doesn't remember his past life but he's named the birds in accordance with the fairies they truly are, subconsciously somehow. He talks with them often, uses them to keep his way in the woods, follows them after food or water when he's had a streak of bad luck providing for himself. He loves the birds and gives them every scrap they will take, which usually isn't much. He's got a constant flock of eight that go everywhere with him, but the number changes depending on the 'normal' ravens that come by. He also names those birds, but they come and go, and they are not half as intelligent as the others. Torio has a habit of sticking their discarded feathers into his mane, which creates something of a fearsome silhouette. He's more prone to keeping to the trees than staying on the ground. Like many PPS viscets he walks on all four legs rather than just two, which gives him an advantage most adults don't have in the trees.
trivia.
-Torio is PPS, so he will never age or become an adult
-he's been an orphan for as long as he can remember really
-he's followed everywhere by a flock of ravens; they take excellent care of him
-he can recognize each, and has names for them all too
-in reality, Torio is living his second life. in his first he saved a fairy king and was granted a boon for it, and he requested youth, as in that time he was old and bitter and desired the freedom of a limber body. the fairy king gave it to him willingly; and then Torio was branded and killed by the usurper the next day, and his wish was taken from him. the king did what he could to make up for his inability to protect the man who saved him; he allowed Torio to be reborn and assigned to him his own people, fairies who could twist into the shape of birds. the king, believing himself to be wise and clever, gave this Torio eternal youth; but in fact he forced Torio to be a teenager forever instead, which wasn't quite what he'd originally had in mind. Torio does not remember his other life, not consciously, but he calls the birds by their old names and there's some semblance of his proud personality that lingers. the birds favor orphans and are constantly scouting for others to bring to him.
human form.
Torio looks about fifteen or so, perhaps a tad younger, and will never look any older. He's Japanese and has the almond eyes and the pale skin tone, and his hair is a sort of pastel brown color. He's quite small, as in, under the average height for his age, and tends to wear leather jackets and other sort of bad-boy clothes. On his back, starting from his shoulder blades and going down to his hipbones, Torio has an enormous tattoo of a pair of simplistic wings, both done in white ink. They are nearly invisible at the wrong angle, but Torio is careful about showing them anyway, and refuses to speak on them whenever he gets caught out. They frame his spine perfectly.
