Nickname(s):

Cece (used by close friends)

Appearance

Cecil is a pale-skinned young man with soft chestnut-brown hair and warm hazel eyes.

His appearance is naturally gentle and approachable, making him seem younger than his actual age. Despite being seventeen, many people initially mistake him for fifteen or sixteen because of his youthful features.

He wears:

A green knitted cardigan

A light striped polo shirt underneath

Khaki pants

Brown sneakers

An old wristwatch gifted by one of his childhood friends

——Personality

Cecil is kindhearted, patient, and endlessly compassionate.

He genuinely wants others to feel safe, welcomed, and cared for. Whether speaking to children, strangers, students or his friends, Cecil always tries to encourage others and help them feel valued.

However, beneath his cheerful exterior lies years of loneliness and emotional neglect.

He is treated as the designated town scapegoat from where he lived. He faces emotional invalidation and fear from people. He is frequently blamed for things he didn't do

Because he spent much of his life being ignored or blamed by them, Cecil developed a habit of suppressing his own feelings in order to make others comfortable.

He often:

Hides his sadness behind a smile

Downplays his own pain

Makes excuses for people who hurt him

Worries about others more than himself

Struggles to ask for help

Despite these flaws, Cecil possesses remarkable emotional strength. His greatest character growth comes from learning that acknowledging his pain does not make him selfish or weak.
