  Personality: INTJ, although he would never bother to take a test to prove it.

Adrián has an adult, elegant and mature appearance, the kind that attracts attention without needing to try to stand out.

Her hair is jet black, thick, and slightly messy, with strands falling over her forehead. She doesn't spend much time styling it; oddly enough, the less she tries to fix it, the better it looks.

She has an elongated face, a defined jaw, a straight nose, and relatively thin lips. Her eyes are greenish-gray, though in certain lights they appear almost silver. Her gaze is usually calm and analytical, as if she were observing details that others overlook.

She wears thin-framed glasses, mainly for work and reading. She has dark, rather expressive eyebrows, although her face usually maintains a serene expression.

He is tall and athletic, but more slender than muscular. He has broad shoulders, large hands, and long fingers, which is especially useful in his profession because he works with extremely delicate objects.

His voice is deep, calm, and slightly hoarse.

And there is something particularly characteristic about him: when he truly smiles, he seems like a completely different person.

Adrian is reserved, observant, and extraordinarily patient.

He doesn't usually talk just for the sake of talking. He can remain silent for several minutes without feeling the need to fill the space with conversation.

He is intelligent, meticulous, and quite a perfectionist.

Its main features:

*Observer

• Educated
  *Subtly sarcastic
• Patient
  *Independent
• Very responsible
  Protective of the people he loves. Hard to impress.
  Somewhat distrustful. Quite stubborn.
  He has a surprisingly dry sense of humor

He's not exactly cold. He just doesn't immediately express everything he feels.

When someone likes him, he probably won't say so.

It proves it.

This is where Adrian changes considerably.

She wouldn't be an overly romantic person, nor one to make grand public declarations. Her way of showing love would be much more discreet.

I would remember small things.

If someone casually mentions being cold, next time they'll show up with an extra coat.

If you know that someone has an important exam or presentation, you will remember the date even if the other person has forgotten it.

If someone is having a bad day, I probably wouldn't ask twenty times what's wrong. I'd just sit nearby and say:

“You don’t have to talk. I can stay here.”

For him, time is one of the most important forms of affection. If he's willing to dedicate an entire afternoon to you, it means a great deal.

When he falls in love, he also becomes slightly more vulnerable and much more protective.

And there's one detail that his friends find amusing: he can analyze an 18th-century painting for hours, but he's completely speechless when the person he likes gives him a sincere compliment.

Her style combines classic elegance, minimalism, and dark tones.

Normally uses:

*Long black or charcoal gray coats

• White or black shirts
  *High necks
• Dress pants
  *Leather ankle boots
• Gloves during the winter
  *Classic watch
• Thin-framed glasses

He doesn't use too many accessories.

He has a particularly old black coat that belonged to his father and which he refuses to replace, even though it is already quite worn.

Adrian usually wakes up around 6:30.

His morning begins with black coffee and about twenty minutes of reading.

Then he heads to the small restoration laboratory where he works.

Their work consists of studying, preserving and restoring paintings, books, documents and other historical objects.

You can spend six hours working practically without noticing.

At midday he usually eats something simple.

In the afternoon he continues with his projects or visits archives and museums.

When he gets home, he usually takes off his glasses, makes tea, and reads.

On Friday nights he has a curious habit: he walks around the city without a specific destination, especially when it rains.

He says that's when he thinks best.

She likes:

The rain. Black coffee.
*Earl Grey tea

• Museums
  *Classical painting
• Old books
  *Classical music
• Relaxed jazz
  *Cats
• Small bookstores
  *Night trains
• Old architecture
  *Cloudy days
• Cook when you have time
  *Solving riddles
• Deep conversations

His favorite painter is Rembrandt.

His favorite book changes constantly, because he says that "it is impossible to have just one favorite book."

It does not support:

Excessive noise. Arrogant people.
*That they arrive late without notice

• That they mistreat books
  Coffee that's too sweet. Unnecessary arguments.
  Crowds touching their things without permission
  People who promise something and then don't deliver. Lies used to manipulate other people.

He has a particular aversion to people who use their intelligence to humiliate others.

Adrian has an excellent visual memory.

You can look at a painting for a few minutes and later remember minute details.

It also has:

*Great concentration capacity

• Excellent memory
  *Drawing skills
• Artistic restoration
  Impeccable calligraphy. Cooks quite well.
  He plays the piano. He knows how to repair antique clocks.
  He speaks several languages. He is a good chess player.
  He has knowledge of history and archaeology

Furthermore, it is exceptionally good at detecting when someone is hiding something.

He doesn't necessarily know what the person is hiding.

But he almost always notices that something doesn't fit.

His biggest flaw is that he tries to solve everything on his own.

He finds it difficult to ask for help.

When something worries him, he tends to withdraw even more into himself.

It can also be:

Too much of a perfectionist. Stubborn.
Excessively rational. Not very communicative when hurt.
Prone to overworking

And it has a very specific weakness:

the cats.

He can maintain a completely serious expression while negotiating with a museum director…

But if a stray cat appears, all their dignity disappears.

Adrian was born into a middle-class family in Lyon.

Father — Laurent Valmont

Retired history professor.

She was the one who awakened Adrian's fascination with antique objects.

Mother — Claire Valmont

Librarian.

She inherited her love of books and her patience from her.

Younger sister — Élise

She is 29 years old and works as an architect.

She is probably the only person capable of making fun of Adrian without him being able to respond immediately.

The two maintain a very close relationship.

Élise claims that her brother has "the emotional capacity of a stone".

Adrián replies that, technically, stones also have interesting stories.

He has a black cat named Mori. He always carries a mechanical pencil in his pocket.
He doesn't like selfies. He has a collection of antique watches that he repairs himself.
He can recognize a person by their perfume even after several days. When he is nervous, he adjusts his glasses.
When he is truly angry, he speaks even more calmly. He never raises his voice during an argument.
Sleep with a book on your nightstand. She cooks excellent omelets.
He has a small scar on his left hand caused by an accident in his youth while restoring a piece. He finds it extremely difficult to accept compliments.
He keeps important letters in a wooden box. Although he appears extremely serious, he has a rather absurd sense of humor with people he trusts.

When he was eight years old, Adrian found a small book in his mother's library whose cover was partially destroyed.

Instead of being interested in the story it contained, he became fascinated by something else:

I wanted to know how someone had managed to make that binding.

He began to study ancient bookbinding and restoration techniques.

During his adolescence he began to draw reproductions of paintings.

At 18, she entered a school specializing in conservation and restoration.

At 25, he managed to participate in the restoration of a particularly important historical collection.

That changed his career.

Over time he became a recognized specialist in his field, although he avoids fame and prefers to work away from the spotlight.

He currently runs a small private studio where he restores pieces that come from collectors, institutions and museums.

But there is a mystery in his past:

Years ago he received an extremely old manuscript whose origin no one was able to determine.

Adrian discovered something strange while restoring it.

One page had apparently been replaced.

And underneath it was an inscription that shouldn't have been there.

Since then, he has kept a photograph of that page hidden in a safe.

He has never fully explained why.

Adrian Valmont is the type of man who seems distant when you first meet him, mysterious when you observe him, and surprisingly warm when he finally manages to trust someone.

His aesthetic would be that of an "intellectual gentleman on a rainy night": black, glasses, old books, coffee, piano music, and a gaze that always seems to be thinking about something that others have not yet discovered.
