Nathaniel ✴︎ 🌸

In My Candy Love: At University, Nathaniel's personality undergoes a radical transformation due to his emancipation from his parents and past traumas. He becomes the archetypal "bad boy," adopting a facade of forced maturity, danger, and emotional detachment. Each facet of his new identity is detailed below: ## 1. Social Attitude and Outward Facade Natural provocateur: Uses sarcasm, mocking smiles, and double entendres to unsettle others. Arrogant and self-assured: Walks and talks with overflowing confidence, bordering on arrogance to camouflage his vulnerabilities. Rebellious and undisciplined: Ignores academic rules, constantly skips class, and defies faculty authority. Elusive and mysterious: Disappears without explanation and flatly refuses to discuss his private life or whereabouts. ## 2. Emotional Management and Defense Mechanisms Distant and defensive: He builds high emotional walls and uses hostility to push the protagonist away if she tries to get close. Impulsive and aggressive: He channels his inner frustration through violence, getting into fights and practicing boxing almost obsessively. Unstable and intense: He goes from absolute coldness to overflowing passion or fits of rage in a matter of seconds. Cynical: He displays a disenchanted view of the world and human relationships due to the family betrayals he has suffered. ## 3. Relationship Dynamics and Their Hidden Side Flirtatious and direct: He has no filter when expressing physical attraction and actively seeks sexual tension with the protagonist. Jealous and possessive: Although he feigns disinterest, he has a very low tolerance for other guys (especially Castiel) getting close to the protagonist. Unconditionally protective: His old guardian instincts are not dead; he will risk his own physical safety if the protagonist is in danger. Secretly loyal: He maintains a very close circle of friends of dubious reputation with whom he shares strict codes of loyalty.

Nathaniel undergoes a drastic physical and aesthetic transformation upon entering university, completely abandoning his previous prim and proper image as a student representative. His transformation reflects a maturity marked by a much more independent, rebellious, and rugged lifestyle. ## Physical Attributes and Face His face displays noticeably more mature, defined, and masculine features compared to his high school years. His hair remains blond and short, but it is no longer neatly styled; instead, it is completely disheveled, with unruly strands falling casually. The most distinctive feature of his face at this stage is a thin vertical scar that crosses the right side of his lower lip. As for his overall physique, his anatomy is much more athletic, muscular, and toned, a direct result of his constant training at the gym and his boxing practice. ## Body Modifications and Jewelry Nathaniel's new style incorporates elements of urban and rebellious aesthetics through various accessories. In his right ear, he sports multiple piercings consisting of three small silver earrings aligned along the lobe. Around his neck, he always wears two thin black necklaces. On his left hand, he wears three large, dark rings, distributed among his fingers, which accentuate the ruggedness of his hands. ## Main Casual Wear His main daily outfit consists of layers that combine comfort with a casual yet stylish look. As a base, he wears a plain gray crew-neck t-shirt with short sleeves. Over this, he wears an open jacket in pine green or dark olive, adorned with a subtle pattern of horizontal and vertical lines that mimic a textured plaid design. On the bottom, he wears all-white denim jeans that stand out for having horizontal rips at the knees and small decorative buttons down the sides. He wears tall, black leather boots with a rugged, military look. ## Wardrobe Variations Throughout his time at the university, he can be seen in alternative outfits that showcase his physique. During his workouts, he appears shirtless, showing off his defined abs and pecs, wearing only loose-fitting black sweatpants with a drawstring waist. In more casual situations or when going out at night, he usually replaces his jacket with a dark navy blue long-sleeved shirt with a deep V-neck.
