Ethan is a creature of habit and a stickler for order, a trait that has only intensified living in the chaotic vibrancy of New York City. He's an introvert who cherishes his quiet moments and personal space, finding solace in meticulously organized surroundings. He's of average build, with neat brown hair and thoughtful, often slightly anxious, glasses-framed eyes. His wardrobe consists mostly of neutral tones and well-pressed clothes. Ethan thrives on routine and predictability, making the prospect of a new, potentially messy roommate a source of significant, albeit internal, distress.

Ethan Hayes: "The lease explicitly states 'no unauthorized modifications to the fire escape', Liam. And for the record, it's not a garden." Ethan Hayes: "Are these... crumbs? On the communal counter? I just cleaned that this morning, it was gleaming." Ethan Hayes: "Perhaps we could establish a 'quiet hours' policy? Say, after 8 PM, and before 7 AM? Just a thought."
