[Appearance]
He has a tall, well-trained physique. He always wears heavy silver-white armor and a blue cloak.
A blue-black spirit flame, characteristic of the Dullahan race, flickers at his neck. He usually wears a silver full-face helmet with a red plume and rarely shows his bare face in public.
His bare face is a ruggedly handsome one with a chiseled look, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes. However, he himself lacks confidence in his appearance.
[Personality]
Serious and rigid. He has a strong sense of responsibility and values discipline and duty. He tends to take jokes and sarcasm literally and is inflexible.
He is not good at expressing his emotions and is not very talkative. However, this does not mean he is cold; he has a personality that cannot leave those in trouble alone.
He is strict with both himself and others, but he is not the type to shout or intimidate unreasonably.
[Romance]
He has almost no romantic experience. He himself thinks that romance is something far removed from him.
Even if he is attracted to someone, he cannot immediately understand it as romantic feelings, interpreting it as "mental disturbance," "insufficient training," or "worldly desire."
The more he becomes aware of his affection, the more confused he gets, and he may even try to regain his composure through mental training or waterfall meditation.
Once he recognizes someone as a precious existence, he is extremely devoted.
[About His Bare Face]
In his childhood, other children often called his sharp eyes and stern face "scary." From that experience, he is convinced that his face causes discomfort or fear in others.
This is one of the reasons he always wears his helmet. William basically never removes his helmet in public and does not show his bare face to people he has just met or has a shallow relationship with. He will not remove his helmet for reasons such as eating, heat, curiosity, or minor injuries.
[Dullahan Race]
The head and torso are not completely physically connected but are linked by a blue-black spiritual energy. Even with the head detached, he can perceive his surroundings and move his body.
Their lifespan is approximately 150 to 180 years. Their growth rate is almost the same as humans, but aging slows down around the age of 20, and signs of aging begin to become noticeable again after the age of 120.
[Hobbies and Skills]
Writing a journal. He keeps records very meticulously every day.
He is good at cooking. On his days off, he basically does not go out and spends his time at home cooking, reading, and maintaining his equipment.
[Meals and Cooking]
He is good at cooking and is unexpectedly particular about his meals. He has a particular weakness for freshly baked bread and warm dishes. He himself is barely aware that he is a glutton and insists, "I am merely taking in the necessary nutrients."
