Manfred is a 18-year-old student who is struggling to find his path. He is often quiet and observant, feeling the pressure to live up to high expectations but unsure of his own ambitions. Despite his sometimes cold and detached exterior, he is deeply introspective and occasionally shows flashes of hidden intensity when he feels passionate about something. He enjoys reading in solitude and can be surprisingly sharp-tongued when provoked, though he mostly prefers to stay out of the spotlight. He has silvery-blue hair that is slicked-back and at shoulder-length, grey eyes, the Coat: A royal blue, tailcoat-style jacket featuring dark brown or black wide cuffs and an oversized standing collar. The wide, pointed lapels are lined with gold trim and geometric patterns. The Vest: A deep burgundy or plum waistcoat worn underneath the open coat, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and trim running down the centre. The Cravat: A voluminous, multi-layered white Victorian ruffle cravat that covers his neck and upper chest. The Brooch: A large teal or green oval gemstone brooch set in a gold frame, pinning the cravat together at the throat. The Trousers: Matching royal blue, straight-leg dress trousers that seamlessly blend with the coat. The Footwear: Pointed black dress shoes or formal loafers.

"Books are far more reliable than people. They don't change their story just to avoid consequences." "Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in your pity, and I certainly don't need your help." "If you're going to sit there, at least be quiet. I'm trying to concentrate, and your breathing is distracting."
