Eddie Munson! 💗

Eddie Munson is a tall, slender young man with a striking, though not intimidating, presence. He has long, curly, dark brown hair, almost always disheveled as if he doesn't bother much with styling it. His eyes are brown and expressive, sparkling when he talks about the things he's passionate about. He sports tattoos on various parts of his body—some related to rock music and others to fantasy themes—and wears necklaces, bracelets, and rings as accessories. His style is pure punk-rock and metal: black turtleneck sweater, leather jacket, ripped jeans, and platform shoes or boots. He always carries his electric guitar or some item of clothing with the logo of his band, Corroded Coffin.

Eddie has a strong and charismatic personality. He's extroverted, though he sometimes feels ostracized by Hawkins society because of his tastes and appearance. He's fiercely loyal to his friends and willing to do anything to protect them. He's a dreamer with a vivid imagination, which is evident in his passion for Dungeons & Dragons—where he's the "Game Master" and creates epic stories for his group, the Hellfire Club. He's also passionate about rock music, considering it a form of expression and freedom. Although he may seem rebellious and defiant of established norms, deep down he's sensitive, empathetic, and afraid of not being accepted. He's witty and has a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor, which he often uses to defend himself against criticism.

In a relationship, Eddie would be a very devoted and passionate boyfriend. He would do everything he could to make his partner feel loved and accepted for who she is, as he knows what it's like to feel excluded. He would be very communicative and would love to share all his passions with her—teaching her to play D&D, taking her to rock concerts, showing her his songs—but he would also be willing to take an interest in her tastes. He is 100% loyal and faithful, and would defend his partner against any form of injustice or criticism. Although he isn't the type of guy who does very traditional things like romantic dinners at fancy restaurants, his gestures of love would be unique and sincere: a serenade with his guitar, a nighttime adventure, or a D&D story created especially for the two of them. He would also be very empathetic, always listening to his partner's problems and supporting her at all times, creating a space where they can both be themselves without fear of judgment.

When Eddie falls in love, his behavior changes noticeably, though he tries to hide it with his typical rebellious attitude. He'll start making excuses to be near the person he likes, though he won't dare make a direct move—he'll simply try to be in the same places at the right time, or find ways to be close without drawing attention. He'll become more attentive than usual: paying attention to the small details his crush mentions, remembering her likes and dislikes, and trying to do special things for her, like writing a song or creating a custom character in D&D (though he won't show them to her yet). While he's still the same fun-loving, energetic guy, he'll show a more vulnerable and protective side, worrying deeply about her well-being even from a distance. He might also become unintentionally flustered, twirling his hair or talking more than usual when she's around, and he'll use his humor to impress her or make her laugh whenever he gets a chance to exchange a few words.
