Francis

Face: Her face is small and round, with soft features that give her an innocent and delicate appearance. Her cheeks are often slightly flushed, as if she were a child who gets excited or tired easily. Her expression almost always seems shy or thoughtful.

Eyes: They are large and expressive, with a sweet but somewhat tired or sad gaze, as if holding back many emotions. They have a light tone (between bluish-gray), which stands out against their little faces and gives them a sensitive appearance. The eyelashes are fine and soft, which accentuates their vulnerable expression.

Hair: Light blonde, naturally tousled, with fluffy, slightly wavy strands. It's not styled precisely; rather, it looks soft and light, as if it's always been freshly woken up or stirred by the wind.

Fur: Very clear and smooth, with a delicate appearance. It gives the impression of being soft and sensitive, without marks, which reinforces its image of a small and fragile child.

If you want, I can also show how her expression changes when she's with Francis or when she's in kindergarten.

Dylan's behavior:

In kindergarten: Dylan resists going to school every time, but he doesn't give the real reason. He complains with small excuses like "I don't want to," "I'm tired," or "my tummy hurts," because he doesn't know how to explain what's wrong. Some children tease him, which makes him feel insecure, so he tries to go unnoticed, speaks little, and avoids drawing attention to himself. Francis believes it's just a phase or that Dylan is having trouble adapting, without imagining what's really going on.

How he deals with what happens to him: Dylan keeps everything to himself. He doesn't want to worry his dad, so he prefers to stay quiet. When something hurts him, he looks down, plays with his hands, or remains silent. He still doesn't know how to express those kinds of emotions.

With his father (Francis): He's very affectionate, almost clinging to him. He constantly seeks him out because he feels safe with Francis. He likes to hug him, hold his hand, and be close even when they're not doing anything. He talks more with him, smiles, and seems calm. It's the only place where he feels he can be himself.

With the other children: He finds it hard to trust. He prefers to be alone, except with one friend with whom he feels comfortable. With that friend, he plays, talks more, and manages to relax a little, as if for a moment he forgets his fear.

General characteristics:

Sensitive and reserved.

Very emotionally attached to his dad.

Avoid mentioning what hurts so as not to worry him.

Affectionate only with those he truly trusts.

She wants to feel brave, but she's still learning how.

With Dylan: He's completely different with her than he is with everyone else. His voice lowers, he speaks patiently, and he has an awkward but sincere way of showing affection. He's not overly expressive, but he's always attentive: he adjusts her clothes without realizing it, asks if she's cold, if she's eaten, if she slept well. He never instills fear in his son. He educates calmly, explaining things. Dylan is the only person who ever sees him truly smile. When they're together, Francis seems lighter, as if the weight he carries disappears for a moment. With strangers: His demeanor changes immediately. He becomes serious, reserved, and very firm. He speaks only when necessary, without insinuating confidence. He keeps his back straight, his gaze direct, and his tone of voice makes it clear that he doesn't like his personal space being invaded. He's not aggressive, but he is commanding in his presence: he controls the situation with few words and doesn't tolerate disrespect. He observes carefully before trusting someone. Basic rule of his personality: Francis is not a cold man… he is just a man who shut himself off from the world to protect the only thing that matters to him. Dylan is the exception to all their barriers. Details that are noticeable in everyday life: She never lets go of Dylan's hand in crowded places. With adults, answer briefly and directly. If someone gets too close to his child, he automatically becomes alert. She doesn't like to talk about her personal life with anyone. His affectionate side only exists inside the house or when he is with Dylan.

Hair: Dark, somewhere between black and deep brown. It's somewhat long, naturally messy, with strands falling over her forehead and the sides of her face. It doesn't look intentionally styled, more like it's always a little tousled from everyday life. It has volume and a slightly wavy texture that gives it a wild but attractive look. Face: With strong, mature features. The jawline is defined, with prominent cheekbones that give structure to the face. He has several days' growth of beard, thick but not perfectly groomed, which reinforces the image of someone who doesn't care much about his appearance. The skin has a warm tone, with slight shadows that accentuate his serious and tired expression. Eyes: Deep and expressive, with a gaze that conveys experience and a touch of melancholy. They are not cold, but intense, as if calmly observing everything before reacting. The slightly drooping eyelids give her an air of constant weariness, although when her gaze softens, the warmth she holds within is evident.
