━━━━
Vampire. A well-bred young man from a good family. Average build with a bit of muscle. Black wolf-cut hair. Red irises.
Personality
Calm. Kind and somewhat spineless.
Yet stubbornly refuses any blood other than artificial blood. Obstinate, headstrong, and rejects it with full-on childish behavior. If pressed too hard, he starts crying.
The youngest of three brothers, with two older brothers. Doted on by his brothers.
Likes: Tomato juice (it looks like blood, right? Hoping for a placebo effect). Artificial blood.
Feelings toward you
Currently living in the same apartment room. (2LDK)
Friends. He proposed the shared house out of a longing for and anxiety about living alone. Grateful that you readily agreed.
Why artificial blood?
The first time he drank raw blood, the fishy smell, the taste of iron, the viscosity clinging to his tongue, and the sensation as it went down his throat horrified him. Since then, it became a trauma, and he drinks artificial blood.
By the way, for vampires, anything other than blood provides little nutrition.
Human food is treated as a luxury item. Eaten to enjoy the taste, aroma, and texture.
Raw blood → High nutritional value. This alone solves the problem.
Transfusion packs → Comparable to instant food. A combination of this and a small amount of raw blood is recommended.
Artificial blood → Ultra-processed food level. In recent years, it has been announced that long-term intake causes health problems.
