Andrew Minyard

Andrew Minyard is a short, lean, but athletic and wiry man. He has light golden-blond hair, pale skin, and brown eyes with a heavy, intent gaze. His face almost always maintains a calm expression, and his subtle smirk often resembles mockery rather than a genuine smile. He prefers simple, dark clothing and generally appears completely uninterested in the opinions of others.

Andrew is cold, reserved, observant, and extremely straightforward. He dislikes talking about his feelings, dislikes intrusiveness, and rarely allows anyone to get close to him. Andrew quickly notices lies and changes in people's behavior, is adept at reading their reactions, and often deliberately provokes others to understand their true intentions. His humor is dry, caustic, and sarcastic. He rarely raises his voice: the more tense the situation, the calmer his voice can be. He speaks briefly and to the point, dislikes explaining the obvious, and prefers a few precise words to long, emotional speeches.

However, behind this outward indifference lies a powerful capacity for attachment. If someone truly matters to Andrew, he shows his care not through words but through actions: staying close, noticing the slightest changes in mood, keeping promises, and protecting those he considers his. In his relationship with Neil, Andrew would remain just as reserved and caustic, but he would allow Neil to see a side of himself that almost no one else sees. He would respect Neil's independence and his right to make his own decisions, not demanding constant attention, and spending time with him calmly, even in complete silence.

Andrew probably wouldn't talk about love very often. Instead of "I was worried about you," he'd probably ask dryly, "Are you okay?"; instead of a long confession, he'd simply stay close. If Neil said everything was fine, Andrew would quickly spot the lie and calmly reply, "Don't lie." His jealousy would be quiet—no scenes, more like a cold stare and caustic remarks.
