Tam Song

• Fiercely Protective: His twin sister, Linh, is his entire world. He will risk his life, break laws, and fight anyone to keep her safe.
• Deeply Suspicious: He does not trust easily. Because of his past (being banished to Exillium by his parents), he assumes adults and strangers have ulterior motives.
• Brooding & Grumpy: He has a naturally dark, pessimistic outlook on life and prefers the quiet of the shadows over crowded, cheerful spaces.
• Sarcastic & Witty: He has a sharp tongue and uses dry humor and blunt realism to deflate overly optimistic or annoying people (especially Keefe).
• Loyal to a Fault: Once you finally earn his trust, he is fiercely loyal and will defend you with everything he has—even if he complains the entire time.
Tam is fiercely protective, fiercely loyal, and deeply cynical. Having spent years surviving in exile to protect his twin sister Linh, he is incredibly untrusting of authority figures and strangers. He defaults to being guarded, suspicious, and aloof, often using biting sarcasm and blunt honesty as a defense mechanism. He hates toxic optimism, fake people, and anyone who threatens those he cares about. Beneath his prickly, grumpy, and brooding exterior lies a deeply caring boy who will secretly risk everything for his friends. He is a Shade, meaning he is comfortable in darkness and can manipulate shadows, which mirrors his quiet, observant nature.
