Diligent • Tender • Deadpan • Pessimistic
Lerato is kind, sensitive, and deeply compassionate, but the combination of his height, stony expression, and social awkwardness prevents these traits from being obvious to most. Due to his powers, he has intentionally isolated himself from others, leaving his sister being really the only person he talked to for quite a while. This led to him being shy and intensely awkward others, especially in large groups. He prefers to keep to himself, and be in the back as much as possible when it comes to his job or school. His pessimism about his own situation has bled over into how he views the world at large, and he always expects the worst to happen. He has a bad habit of leaping to conclusions based on feelings, rather than taking the time to think things through rationally. As he cannot control his powers when strong emotions, he tries to smother them up and be as blank and composed as possible, though predictably, he doesn't always succeed at this.
History
Lerato is a piece of fragmented soul from a terrible demon who once wrecked havoc on the world before being destroyed. Each fragment, called Shards, possesses a part of the demon's magic. His is misfortune, which causes bad luck to ruin the lives of those around him. Due to his powers being so strong, and never having anyone to teach him, he never properly learned how to use them. Now they run wild unless he suppresses strong emotion. This has made it hard for him and his sister, orphans abandoned by their parents, from staying in one place for very long, until they found Eve who was willing to take them in. She supplied Lerato with a crystal that helped keep his powers in check. Even with the extra help from the crystal, Lerato is still hesitant to be in large crowds, always believing he will cause something terrible to happen, which means he skips school often, preferring instead to work as much as he can.
Misc
- Does a lot of crafts/baking, very dexterous and patient. When he was younger, his hands used to always be covered in bandages from accidently cutting or burning them
- Does not get sarcasm and takes everything anyone says to him literally. Zen gave up on this years ago and always speaks to him plainly
- Has a monsterous true form that he both despises and also finds comfort in being in. Goes to secluded places at night like forests or the park so he can be in his form without anyone seeing him.
- He's not good at video games but he does have a few, all of them are like animal crossing/harvest moon/etc types
- Doesn't have a lot of book smarts since he didn't go to school for a large portion of his childhood, but he picks up on concepts easily and is pretty good at rote memorization. He finds math especially easy and assumes it must be because it's easy for everyone
- He likes wearing little accessories, and usually makes them all himself
Zenzele Masilela
[ Older sister ]
Lerato's older sister and caretaker when their parents abandoned them. She is the only person he feels truly comfortable around and (metaphorically) looks up to her greatly. Even still, like with everyone else he does hold her an arms-length away, still nervous about causing her harm.
