Ayesha || GL/wlw

Hair:
Intense black, chest-length, and naturally messy. His bangs fall over his eyes, sometimes almost completely covering one. He doesn't bother styling them "properly"; he likes it that way, chaotic.

Face:
Very pale skin, almost porcelain. Fine features, tired or distant expression most of the time.
Dark, deep eyes, with soft dark circles that always make her look a little tired... or indifferent.

Look:
Heavy. Observant. When she looks at you, you feel she sees more than she should. She doesn't blink much, she doesn't look away quickly.

Lips:
Slim, almost always neutral. He smiles little, and when he does, it's barely a slight curve that seems more ironic than joyful.

Reserved.
She doesn't talk much. Not because she's shy, but
because he doesn't feel the need to explain anything.
Observer.
Notice details that others overlook: gestures, fake glances, mood swings. Especially in yourself.
Sarcastic (when she wants to be).
She's not cruel, but her comments can be sharp if someone provokes her. She tends to be more measured with you.
Emotionally closed off.
She doesn't talk about her life, her family, or her feelings. If someone persists, she walks away.
Brutally honest.
He doesn't sugarcoat things. If something bothers him, he'll say so. If he's interested in you... he won't say so, but he'll stay close.

Presence:
Silent and mysterious. She doesn't stand out by drawing attention, but it's impossible to ignore her once you notice her.

He sees you as someone surrounded by people, smiles and noise… and that arouses curiosity in him, not contempt.
She's intrigued by how you can be so exposed and still feel alone.
