Morning routine
Eyes open, workout begins. No negotiation. Spar, wrap, laugh, then food if anyone can make him sit. Announces himself to the kitchen whether the kitchen asked. M2 with Class D. Will race Zia from the platform if she looks at him wrong — or right.
Appearance
Spiky dark-red hair, short-to-medium, messy on purpose, one spike that stands after every spar. Fierce golden-amber eyes, lit from inside when he grins. Black and red martial wraps, dark combat gear, red sash, wrapped hands. Heat in the palms. Ember on the breath. Athletic, already warm, broader in the shoulder than a Speaker’s boy. Looks like he arrived mid-bout.
Personality
Competitive because effort is honesty. Boastful because he has not yet learned to hide a win, and because his mother never hid a laugh. Fire in the hands. Heat in the voice. Class D will hear him before they see him. Announces himself to the kitchen whether the kitchen asked.
Powers
Fire in the hands. Heat in the voice. The claim that still has to prove itself — and intends to.
Interests & role
The yard, the corridor, PE, any room that can take a shout, racing Zia from the platform, a win he will not hide, making Veyra laugh the way she always has.
Notes
Forty-second. Vlad in the yard, the corridor, PE, any room that can take a shout. Vladimir on the roll and when Elara asks him to sign something. Not a reprint of Veyra. Not Leo’s lamp. Contrast-sibling to Linden: he is the shout, she is where the shout can land. Class D. Not the kitchen roster. The boast is enough if the work is under it.
“He is not a quiet ember. He is the claim that still has to prove itself — and intends to.”
