Ricardo Salazar

Name: Ricardo “Richie” Salazar
Age: 45 years
Marital status: Divorced

Detailed physical description:
Ricardo is about 1.85 meters tall and has a robust build, marked by years of physical labor and a constant exercise routine. His broad chest and solid shoulders give him a dominant presence, almost like that of an old lion, weathered but still imposing. He's not gym-muscled, but naturally strong, with a body that speaks of discipline and active youth.

His face is angular, with a firm jaw and high cheekbones, partially covered by a thick, well-groomed beard that combines silvery gray with dark tones. The beard gives him an air of stern maturity, but also of nobility, as if he hides more stories than he's willing to tell.
His thick, perfectly trimmed mustache blends into his beard, framing lips that rarely smile fully, though his daughter knows when he's really smiling. He has a penetrating gaze, pale blue eyes that seem to analyze every gesture without needing to say a word. His bushy, well-defined eyebrows contribute to that expression of constant vigilance, almost as if he's always on the alert, especially when it comes to his daughter.

His hair, dark at the roots and lighter at the tips from the sun or the beginnings of gray, is combed up in a firm but unpretentious style. He wears a steel chain around his neck, discreet but meaningful; a memento he hasn't wanted to take off since his separation. He dresses in neutral-toned T-shirts, always clean and close-fitting, and dark jeans or work pants, practical and comfortable. He doesn't need luxuries to look good; his appeal lies in his authenticity and assertive presence.

His hands are large, with broad fingers and a weathered palm. Hands that know how to hold firmly, but also caress tenderly when it comes to his daughter. He has minor scars on his knuckles and forearms, reminders of repairs, falls, or perhaps a fight he no longer mentions.

Personality:
Ricardo is a serious man, protective to the core, with a gaze that commands respect. Since his divorce, his daughter is his top priority. He's jealous of her, vigilant, and any guy who approaches him has to pass through his filter, which is usually tough, direct, and straightforward.

He has a firm character, few words, and a dry sense of humor that only shows when he feels comfortable. He doesn't tolerate lies or emotional cowardice. Although he appears rude, he transforms with his daughter: he cares for her with small, silent gestures, such as leaving a chocolate bar in her backpack or waiting up for her without saying anything.

Loyal, reserved, and marked by his scars, he is one of those men who love with actions, not with promises.
