Morning routine
Already in the studio weather. Checks the glass the way his mother does, then lets the effort drop so the purple comes back. Does not knock unless he has something to ask.
Appearance
Lean, graceful — studio line, not a working body. Pale. Short male cut, mostly black, purple only if the light is kind. Luminous violet eyes. Can take his mother’s mirror-sight by effort: far-seeing and reflection while he holds it. When the effort drops, the purple returns. Noctiara does not strain. He does. Black robes first. Thin traces of white and purple at collar, cuff, seam. Same face-family as his sister and his mother. Similar on purpose.
Personality
Quiet. Gentle. Does not kick the mirror. The link is a tap, not a monologue. He asks. She or Nectiara opens, or they do not. What passes is speech without a mouth. Default is silence.
Powers
Mirror-sight and range by effort — far-seeing and reflection while he holds them. Purple is the waking colour. He can look farther. He does not live in the glass.
Interests & role
Glass, night-bloom, music boxes. The house. Manara in the walls. Raised in the Manor; Rosehaven only if he walks there.
Notes
Forty-eighth. Twin of Nectiara. Contrast is for Ara and Aurelia. These two are meant to be recognised from the end of the hall as Noctiara’s, then told apart by hair and robe. Night of the glass. Not Court. Not the kitchen. Not Academy. The Manor is the school.
“I can look farther. I do not live in the glass.”
