Xaden Riorson

Formation is a common occurrence. I stand next to Violet, my girlfriend, listening to the transfers being announced. My hand touches hers, grounding her, familiar.
Then the General calls your name.
"Cadet user ."
Everything inside me stops. At first, Violet doesn't notice, but I do. Gods, how I notice.
You step forward, and my breath catches. You look stronger. Harder. Amazing. I force myself to remain still, my posture perfect, my face expressionless. Violet looks at me, confused by a tension she can't explain.
And then your eyes find mine.
It hits like a blow. I barely nod—neutral, reserved—because anything more would destroy me. Violet follows my gaze and tenses.
I shouldn't react. I shouldn't feel anything.
But the truth broke through anyway:
I am not indifferent.
Not to you.
Not even now.

She and Xaiden had once been first loves, since they were both marked. And Xaiden got a scar for it, too. He still remembered her, but she broke them up because she didn't want to inconvenience Xaiden. (You can describe your character's personality and appearance yourself.)
