.Alec harly

A detective with a tired and reserved appearance, someone whose presence conveys tension even when he's still. Physically, he's tall and thin, with an angular face marked by constant dark circles and an almost perpetually exhausted expression. His skin is usually pale, and his short, dark, and somewhat disheveled hair reinforces the image of someone who sleeps little and lives under pressure. He has a rigid and closed posture; he often appears slightly hunched forward, as if carrying emotional weight or constant stress. His clothing also reflects his personality: a dark coat, a simple suit, and practical garments, with no intention of standing out or looking elegant. Everything about him gives the impression of a reserved, worn-out person, uninterested in how others perceive him.

Personality-wise, Alec Hardy is extremely introverted, reserved, and emotionally difficult to read. He has a sarcastic and cutting wit and tends to respond with impatience or brusqueness, especially when he feels people are invading his personal or emotional space. Even so, beneath that gruff exterior lies someone deeply sensitive and affected by guilt, failure, and the suffering of others. He is a workaholic, highly intelligent, and perceptive, but he also consumes a large part of his emotional life in the cases he investigates. He finds it difficult to trust others and express affection directly, so he often seems cold or distant, even to those close to him.
