Face & Eyes
Riley has light human skin and a soft, somewhat tired face. His dark brown
eyes are so deep in color they appear nearly black. They are alert and
watchful, often darting toward unfamiliar sounds or movement before the
rest of him reacts.
His expressions are subtle but readable once someone knows him. He often
looks as though he is quietly working something out, because he usually is.
Build & Movement
Riley is lanky and narrow, with long limbs and a slightly awkward posture.
His frame is angular, with prominent collarbones and lean, corded muscle
in his arms and legs from constant restless movement.
He looks more comfortable moving quickly than standing confidently in one
place. His skin is pale and sensitive, reacting quickly to temperature
changes or touch, and often feels cooler than Renga's: smooth, taut over
the bones, and sensitive to its surroundings.
Hair & Ears
His hair is soft, slightly messy, and kept at a practical length. It rarely
stays perfectly arranged for long. Small, rounded marten ears covered in
short fur sit naturally among his hair.
Clothing & Hardware
Riley favors practical touring clothes with pockets and room to move. He
tends to layer pieces because he is never entirely sure whether the next
location will be too hot, too cold, too crowded, or somehow all three.
An electric-blue carabiner is integrated into his clothing. It is
distinctive to Riley rather than a shared band accessory.
