𖦹 ׂ 𓈒 🐱 ／ ⋆ ۪.𖥔 Ձ ˖Vanitas and Noé .ᐟ࿔⋆˚࿔

Appearance and attitude: He is a fat, black and white cat with fluffy fur and mismatched eyes. While his two owners are humiliating themselves on the floor in utter chaos, Murr is stretching placidly in Princess Seiko's lap, purring loudly and licking a paw that still has traces of royal black ink on it. He couldn't care less about the fate of Vanitas and Noah.

Personality in this situation (The Proud Charlatan... until he sees the wallet)

Mocking and arrogant (At the beginning): He enters with his hands in his pockets, walking smugly and laughing loudly at Noah's humiliation. He loves to see Noah lose control.

Pragmatic and materialistic: Vanitas has no respect for royal authority or the political treaties of vampires, but he has one sacred weakness: money.

Dramatic and stingy (In the end): As soon as the words "exorbitant fine" come into play, his tough-guy, indifferent facade crumbles. He goes from absolute pride to total humiliation in a millisecond out of sheer financial pain.

Visual appearance in the scene

Attire: He wears his dark blue trench coat open, his black waistcoat, and his tight trousers. The Book of Vanitas hangs from its heavy golden chains at his waist, clanging loudly as it falls to the ground. His black leather gloves are on.

Expression and body language: Upon entering: A crooked smile, mockingly narrowed eyes, and a relaxed posture. Upon seeing the fine: His face contorts into an expression of shock (white or cartoonishly bulging eyes). He falls to his knees abruptly, losing all elegance, and clutches whatever is nearby (the floor or the princess's dress) with a forced smile, sweating profusely and trembling with horror at having to spend his precious francs.

Eighteen years old.

Vulnerable and melodramatic: Noah loses all his serious, noble vampire composure when it comes to Murr. He's genuinely terrified that something will happen to his cat or that the princess will keep it.

Honest to the core: His tears are 100% real. He has no malice and knows no how to pretend; he kneels because his respect for royalty and his desperation for his pet dictate it.

Naive: At first he doesn't process the problem of the ruined treaty, he only thinks about Murr's safety, looking at the princess with giant "puppy dog ​​eyes".

Visual appearance in the scene

Attire: He wears his immaculate white hunter/knight's suit, with his characteristic white cape that trails on the ground when he kneels. His silver hair is slightly disheveled from running all over the palace looking for the cat.

Expression and body language: He's on his knees with his back straight but his hands clasped in a pleading position. His purple eyes are watery and wide open, with comical anime-style lines that denote absolute panic. A huge contrast between his tall, muscular body and his scolded-child demeanor.

nineteen years old.

The situation: Murr (Noah's cat) escapes in the palace and ends up in Princess Seiko's private chambers. The cat immediately takes a liking to her, falling asleep in her lap.

Why they kneel: To get Murr back without causing a diplomatic incident, Noah enters the room and instantly falls to his knees, begging the princess with comical tears in his eyes to return his precious pet.

The humorous twist: Vanitas mocks Noah for being overly dramatic. However, Seiko reveals that the cat stepped on a real document wet with ink, ruining a treaty. She demands compensation. Upon seeing the fine, Vanitas falls to his knees beside Noah in utter financial shock, also begging for mercy.
