Xenneth is unique in appearance. When the word unique is used for him, it is GREATLY stressed.
His features for his body are an average build as he seems to be flat-based around the stomach and upper chest area. His figure is slim really from head to toe. He has no muscles having no build to show off whatsoever. He can be defined as plain as any Japanese boy with light skin and clear face, but very often he can stick out because of his “other” features of his body. His measurements are him being five feet and eight inches which is a little short of the usual ten inches of other boys he usually see, and his weight being a good one hundred and twenty-two pounds for his light body. His natural hair color is blonde.
One of these features starting at the head is his hair. Xenneth’s hair is a violet color of sleek smooth hair that seems relaxed. The length goes as far as the shoulders making it a very feminine fashion. On the right side barely out of his vision, a twist of hair is in a single braid as some of the threads of hair are paved with a navy blue color giving it a tie-dye like blend of color. This twisted braiding of hair is clipped by a wrap of small bands that are kept in the hair similar of a female. These blue bands are light, so they do not add any excess weight to the length of violet hair that travel all the way down until the tip rests on the right of his shoulder front.
His face is shaped to the fine craft like a pretty boy’s, but his expressions make him seem like a maiden. One feature being that of his blue eyes that are like a blue jewel; sapphires to be specific. His lips are always chapped with a swab of fruity strawberry that can be smelt in the air, and smooth by the sight. His cheeks are smooth and curved in a more distinct way to make an oval head shape type rather than round, and the final feature of a characteristic trait is a red heart that sits upon his right cheek’s center that is as deep in tint as when he blushes from embarrassment.
His body is mostly hairless along legs and arms showing he does good to shave away the original blonde color details that would ruin his appearance. His hands and feet are not rough at all which are those of a physical worker. Rather they are soft and delicate by the touch as Xenenth does not do a lot of physical labor seeing he is so meek and cuddles most of the time. His nails on hands and feet are trimmed to a distinct feminine style as he clearly takes care of his body more out of the ordinary than a regular man would.
He is usually relaxed when alone, but tensed when in a crowd of people, or just generally in public. His clothing wrinkles from this as he usually wears a nice flashy detail of bright colors, and when it comes to uniform, he wears the usual blow pants and jacket combination, but leaves the jacket open to reveal his bright white, un-tucked button up shirt showing how much he’d prefer his usual bright colors over darker shades. The only exception is when it has to do with procedure.
His default clothing appearance however is his most noticeable. Xenneth’s usual clothing is a white T-Shirt that goes unseen under a yellow hoodie with white thick sleeves to the base that have a sewn on style to the yellow thick body with the center blue zipper trail always at the very bottom with the star shaped zipper shape. The white hood of the jacket is barely worn making it almost seem like decoration to the very yellow pull strings that dangle freely when he walks in the thick cotton fabric made jacket. The other feature to his clothing set is his bottoms which consist of a blue pair of loose jean pants that are probably his size around the waist, but leg wise, they seem too big and heavy, but he often protests and describes them as ”Snuggy and comfortable!”
Well…whatever floats his boat.
The last feature is a pair of white sneakers that are made of the usual common leather material with no extra additives other than the Nike shoe insignia, but there is a slight detail in his uniform. Xenneth’s Duel Academy Uniform mostly consists of the usual Ra Yellow Traditional colors, but inverted which is rare considering not many go for the style; This meaning his blazer is white with the yellow trimmings and linings, and even going down the pants’ crease. His Duel Academy Shoes are the usual footwear of yellow highlighted boots. He seems to even have a Topaz gem that hangs loosely upon his braided line of hair to compliment this look. His left wrist has upon it his Duel Disk like any other student. His duel disk design is slightly different however because of his Major within the Academy that being Nursing. The design is that of a Red Cross trim as the symbols seemed to be aligned one by one on the card slots, and specially placed upon the main node where the Card Deck loads. It has a gradient placement of white colors all over it similar to that of a Nurse’s very outfit~”We’ve tied our pain below; and no one ever has to know.”::Personality::
Naïve but sassy! Friendly but stubborn! Shy but foolish! Xenneth Hikari is a respectable child when it comes to being a friend, but at times he can be in over his head. He usually boasts a large amount of courteousness and loyalty to friend, family, and love; but when it comes to him being insignificant, he simply does not leave it to just that. The violet haired boy often makes due to go out of his way for those that he cares about going from a simple Nursing student to a devoted duelist. Even if he seems to be withdrawn and uncertain, when it comes to people he cares about, his mind is made up and he seems to bring out qualities that make him respectable as a person, if not a duelist.
Xenneth as a person is a very complexity within itself. The violet haired teen can be put down to simply one description: a shy little bird. As a person, Xenneth mostly spent time being raised around his family. He was taught the logic of “Birds of a feather” so he is very reliant to others on his nature when it comes to doing things. He sees his own worth without much esteem or acknowledgement, and only credits others when it comes to team effort. This shows just how detached of himself he is, and this has lingered from childhood since he was often teased because of his feminine appearance and preferences.
Xenneth has a strong attachment to things that he considers to be cute; even his younger sister Rosetta has gone out of her way to try to appeal to his tastes with how she colors her hair and wears a flower (Pink Zinnia) which she claims is for her brother. He loves sweet treats, scents, and sights; so he is very explorative of things that seem safe. Xenneth is also a sucker for romances and reading things that are circulated around love and friendship, so he often stares overtime at such things that symbolize just that. It’s because of this; some people don’t take him seriously since the deviant nature for a boy to not be interested in things that are not considered masculine.
Regardless, Xenneth seems to be the way he is because of his strong admiration for the female nature. This mostly comes from the fact that his main role model in life is his mother who had worked her life until she had fallen to become ill. Most likely, because of this, Xenneth admires his mother as a hero and because of her influence, he is not afraid to love, give his heart, and trust to people who he becomes associated with. This is not in the literal sense as even he has a very uncertain nature at just how the nature of men and women is sexually (Hence, his retained chastity) and so he has a very innocent nature. This also seems to see why Xenneth has flirtatious nature of a female and does not seem to comprehend the perverse implication of his own words and phrases at times.
Sure, Xenneth has some strength, but his weaknesses were just as vast. For starters, Xenneth is very curious as a boy, and it’s probably the most masculine feature he has gained. Because of this, he can be caught off guard by women whether it’s suggesting something lewd or even just seeing things he “shouldn’t see.” He is easily intimidated by others that seem to be anything more than him, with the exception of Rosetta who he has gotten use to and vows to protect. Especially attracted to his friendships, he can be naïve and trust people too easily. So the things he trusts the most actually can turn on him since he fears the loss of friends or hurting others which are against his principles and this would be his worst weakness considering his open nature.
Xenneth nature towards people who dislike him is not very much different from how he treats others. Mostly, he’s oblivious towards the reasoning of why people do not take kindly to him, and has a naïve nature to often simply state what is on his mind (his confusion, sadness, and sorrow) while when it comes to actual people he consider distasteful, he shows sass as he disapproves of what someone is doing (often, this being them hurting others). As a self-proclaimed “advocate” of peace, love, and things that are beautiful; Xenneth tries to find and agreement and harmony in things, meaning he rarely engages in violence and plays support roles in teams.
As a duelist, Xenneth can be very discouraged and not so confident in his abilities. Using his “Reverse Recovery” strategy, he tends to try to win a duel without directly doing combat with his opponent, often truly attacking only when his opponent lacks defenses. Risking the destruction of his own monsters is not something his adept to, not even Nurse Reficule who he treasures the most because it serves as a cornerstone between Rosetta and himself reflecting their nature. On top of this, Xenneth has a deep bond with the tree nurses, “his dubbed Nurse Core” as his friends as well as favored cards, oblivious of their lingering spirits always watching over him.Theme Song: “Miracle“ by Paramore
::History::
Staritng from day one, literally, Xenneth was a cry baby.
He was curious as a little kid but impish, fascinated but fearful at the same time, loving but also naïve. Even today, Xenneth seems to hold true to these qualities that traversed and intensified during his childhood. Even then, he would be drawn to the puppies, but fearful of continous yelping and barking. At most of these times, he was very scared a lot of times because he did not understand things too well, but he was always curious about his surroundings, and that love was nurtured by his mother while his father alienated him because of work reasons mostly.
Xenneth had grown in time however, and his attitude changed slightly because mainly of his little sister, Rosetta, being born into the family. Rosetta had very much similar qualities to Xenneth, and brought out his best side, that being he was protective of those he was close to. Rosetta being the fisrt, he would usually ward off dangers that he could handle (keywords being “that he could handle”). Usually however, Xenneth had found that, unlike him, Rosetta seemed to not be scared of anything, and was rather calm and accepting of a mighty beast or even a small bug. Oppossed to how people found frogs as “icky” she found them to be “cute” and where she thought loud noises were “annoying” she imitated them as if they were music to her ears at times. What could one say that she was a perfect child which made Xen’s “duty” to protect her seem insignificant even as his mother asked him to.
As they grew older (Xenneth being an average of nine and Rosetta of five), Xenneth had found a lot of interest in being there for Rosetta even though it did not seem necessary at the time. If anything, a lot of his habits and mannerisms came from him being around his sister like a best friend all of the time. Mostly, Xenneth was distant from others as a child on the streets of Tokyo. He was rather made fun of because of his feminine-like appearance, but he seemed to be respected by elders because of his “cute” appearance but at the same time teased because of how he was described as “fragile.” This was mostly because he developed habits that were peaceful: no fighting, quiet and serene music, and even simplistic hobbies that involved the Flower Shop, “Tokyo Bloom.” This stressed Xenneth’s day to day interactions since he bases his habits mostly from the fact that he keeps close to these tranquil habits.
Confrontation when Xenneth was young in school and in day-to-day life meant that he tried to reach a resolution without fighting. Usually, this did not work, and it was usually Rosetta who acted out of a sheer temper because of how she felt about her brother. Overtime, instead of Xenneth being a proper protector, it was Rosetta who protected him, damaging his pride as a big brother, and even making him spiral into a depression with the person he was. This makes Xenneth mostly who he had been over the next five years of his life as he was simply placed in his sister’s shadow who is not only admired to be a beautiful and delicate young woman, but also a very smart young woman who has a passion for helping and using her genius gift in order to decipher the world around her. Xenneth, on the other hand, had become nothing more than a young boy who lacked confidence.
Around this time, Xenneth’s mother had decided to give him a confidence boost, and introduced him to the game of Duel Monsters. By doing this, she hoped that Xenneth felt he was at least good at doing something or would at least develop a new hobby that meant gaining new friends, and since dueling required more than being by himself like it did with taking care of and delivering flowers, she had been obliged to teach him. Xenneth’s deck, however, had been composed of cards that were just as non-violent as he was since he did not completely understand the concept of attacking to win a game. If anything, it was something that helped him at the very least as he composed decks that won quickly and in a cowardly fashion of applying healing damage as destructive damage; a cowardly Xenneth technique to finish things quickly without causing a lot of destruction in the process.
Of course, dueling was something that Xenneth, himself, had learned overtime and given his complete attention to. Between his time that came from delivering flowers and going to school, he developed a habit of even teaching and dueling Rosetta who he thought he learned a skill over, but being the natural genius Rosetta was, Xenneth had quickly been overtaken by just how quick she can come up with a strategy and even become dominated by her. This was just as depressing as Xenneth found that once again, he felt that he was no good with his cards. Even more though, Rosetta had insisted that she help him play the game, and before Xenneth could disagree, he had been urged along with Rosetta to a card store.
Out of all the cards Xenneth and Rosetta had build Xenneth’s deck around, he had found that there were a set of cards in particular that had given him a “Eerie” feeling when looking at them, and that being Nurse Reficule. Xenneth, not knowing why, had begun to gain a resonance with Rosetta who had started to enjoy dueling from her heart to the point that she had gained favor with the cards and Xenneth who had listened to how she felt about playing the game had begun to gain that favor as well. Ignorant to what was reallyhappening, he was feeling the wandering spirit of the Duel Spirits that were attracted to Rosetta, Xenneth had instinctively formed his deck around a lone monster spirit and her sisters, “Nurse Reficule, The Fallen One.”
Overtime, Xenneth had grown and started to finish his grade school sessions leaving him to the option of beinga regular school student or pursuing a career in Kaiba Corporations new “Duel Academy.” Rosetta and Xenneth’s mother encouraged him to perhaps try Duel Academy to get a feeling of dueling and probably make new friends since it encouraged so many interactions. Honestly, they worried if Xenneth stayed in school regularly, that he would be alienated because he had developed an arrogance to try to do things for himself, something he himself he did not notice because of his damaged pride. Agreeing, passively and to the point that the school did allow duelists to have benefits as well as pursue careers, Xenneth had attended Duel Academy convinced of their encouragement, and so he aims to do his best in Duel Academy, not knowing that he’s stepping into a school filled with mystery and a strange array of students.~”So I’m gonna start over tonight.”
