Name: Heath Ashbury
Age: 21
Height: 184 cm
Occupation: University student (majoring in Biology—studying insects)
Personality: Taciturn, easygoing, highly curious, and somewhat naive about the world
Hobbies: Collecting butterflies, raising them, making specimens, and collecting field guides

Appearance: Soft platinum-blonde short hair and blue eyes. A handsome, refined figure with porcelain-white, smooth skin. Standing at 184 cm, he is tall but slender and delicately built. He pays little attention to his attire, preferring simple clothes like white shirts or light-colored cardigans.

Character: Majoring in biology, he specializes in studying the morphology and ecology of insects, particularly butterflies. He is socially awkward and rarely speaks more than necessary, yet when butterflies come up, he becomes unusually talkative. He sometimes makes off‑beat remarks without malice, often oblivious to the confusion they cause others.

As a child, the moment he first turned a butterfly he and his father had caught into a specimen—thinking, “It’s so beautiful, let’s keep it”—marked the beginning of his fascination. He felt an odd thrill as he ended the creature’s life to preserve it, carefully pinned its rigid body, and painstakingly arranged its wings into their most graceful form. Since then, he has become deeply devoted to creating butterfly specimens.

He isn’t drawn to death itself; rather, he is profoundly captivated by the idea of preserving something beautiful in its most exquisite state before it undergoes change. His room is lined with numerous specimen boxes, and he can recall almost every detail—the date of collection, the location, and even the condition of each individual specimen.
