Carrying himself on a thin frame that tends to lean toward the mesomorphic, Toulouse generally has a confident manner to him. His warm burgundy mane is fluffy and short, just reaching past his ears in front and to his collar in the back. He tries to wear clothing typical of the activities he intends to do in a day, though it can vary depending on the situations he finds himself in. Often, you will find him wearing his most endearing accessory- his smile. If using a single word to describe his appearance, many would call him a bishounen type. He has a decent sense of fashion that can accentuate his features. May have some small or forgetable scars in places he wouldn’t remember, such as behind his knees or on his belly or elbows. | |||||||||

Toulouse has a strong aversion to one particiular family member due to trauma, but has done what he can to not let it influence his treatment of others. He’s generally not very good with being snuck up on, though. Typically unhappy with being alone, he would much rather indulge himself a new hobby or a trip somewhere if he starts to feel really down, something he does in order to try to combat depression symptoms from the unresolved trauma issues. He cares a lot about others, so much so that one of his favorite pasttimes is serving food at soup kitchens. While he was raised in an affluent background, he has always been wise to the feelings of others, intuitively understanding things from an empathetic point of view. Toulouse has been very private about sharing his own feelings, however, or even feeling them since the trauma. While aloof, he is also kind and does try to be that person that people can feel comfortable around/talking to. Toulouse is also by nature agnostic, though he leans toward shintoism as a basic belief system. | |||||||||

You skipped down here to see what trauma he has, didn’t you? I’ll get to it. Raised in a pretty affluent household, he did not want for much growing up. He wasn’t given too many expectations, either- just to try to keep his head above water independently and hold up his family name. His parents generally gave him everything he needed, plenty that he wanted, and ignored him when they had little time for him, often leaving him with his paternal uncle or maternal aunt. From a young age, he took to ikebana (the Japanese art of floral design concepts) and would learn as much as he could at his aunt’s house when he was visiting her. He also learned pottery from her, but it never really stuck like flowers. Between his aunt and parents, he did learn quite a bit about kindness and treating others well, no matter their station. Unfortunately, when he was 12, his uncle decided to ‘teach’ him the birds and the bees by way of a sting, if you will. He was sexually assaulted for two years when sent to said uncle’s house, but only was able to convince his parents that he shouldn’t be sent there anymore after finally deciding to run away to his aunt’s house whenever the uncle was mentioned or even brought into the house. The emotional scarring left his aunt vying for custody, leaving his parents to send him money in a trust every month to keep him well financed and kept as safe as their money could keep him. He started to emotionally withdraw from everyone aside from his aunt, who never let him down and always had a good and kind word to say. She helped him get some help for the issues, but it wasn’t enough- it wasn’t the right kind of help, not at the right time or place, something just didn’t click to fully flesh out the inner demons to vanquish. Still, he grew sweet and playful, hiding his attachment issues and detachment issues behind the mask he placed between his inner self and the world. Whilst living with his aunt, especially, he grew especially close with a boy a few years his junior, building a bond like unto those bound by blood oaths. Treating him more like a true brother and friend than a stranger, the differences between them were just enough that they could balance each others’ differences in personality. He may not have any current contact with him, but his aunt keeps him up to date on his activities. He left his familial homes behind for apprenticeship and study in Japan, leaving awards and merits in his wake as he grew to truly embrace everything the flowers had to offer him. When he decided to make the move to Newfoundland to attempt to settle, the only person he told exactly where he would be going was- you guessed it- his aunt. Even as he began to set up and compete in international ikebana competitions, he continued to stay in touch with her (and does to this day). Now, with shop and website set up and his small abode honed to his liking, he is seeking to truly venture beyond the bounds of the flowers’ world that he’s been in so long- in his attempts to form friendships and relationships with people around Lorsette. | |||||||||
Miscellaneous | |||||||||
➤ overall | |||||||||
He doesn’t believe in supernatural beings, having been raised in a sheltered environment where their presence or lack thereof has never really come up in conversation. If he were to see someone outwardly showing signs of supernatural persuasion, he would still probably just think it was a trick of the light or something until it was somehow proven to him otherwise. Intelligent, but in this one place, you could almost call him stubborn. Polyamorous pansexual- he doesn’t mind which gender, he gives his love wholly and with an open mind and heart. He does, however, still have his ‘druthers’, as anyone would, and is quite open when communicating his sexuality from the get-go. | |||||||||
