Steph

Steph is a Living Doll of the Shadows House and serves Stephen as his Face. He is the Relief Team Star Bearer of Samuel's era.

Appearance
Steph is a young boy of short height with neck-length light gray-ish brown unkempt hair and dark teal eyes. He usually wears a standard male "Living Doll" uniform or a Portrait when serving as Stephen's Face.

Personality
Steph is highly observant, often acting as his Shadow Master's second pair of eyes whether off-portrait or on-portrait. He is most often seen as wordless, almost eerily so. When combined with his introverted nature, it appears as if he is uninterested in others' attempts at verbal communication. However, aside from the obvious gestures that he would use, his attempts at responding can be deciphered by those who are observant enough to see the pattern in how he blinks. He is also rather calculative, combining this trait with his observance and his ability to discern his surroundings, it serves as a great tool to help him formulate plans during emergencies. His unwavering smile, regardless of the occasion, shows that he acts as a collected person who is hardly ever perturbed. Underneath it all, Steph is filled with unadulterated rage at times, he's incredibly irritated by how his Shadow master would go around shamelessly asking for head pats and praises from other people, as he thought it was an unbefitting conduct for a noble.

Deception
Steph is capable of consistently maintaining the same expression at all times, as well as walking in a peculiar way as to hide the sound of his footsteps.

Medical ability
He had acquired a vast amount of medical knowledge due to his past of being trained by his father, who was a renowned surgeon.

Memory
He has an above average memory from all the time that he spent being forced to memorise the things he studied for.

Non-verbal Communication
He can also communicate through blinking, below is the translation of his gestures:


 * Slowblink once = What? / Surprised
 * Blink twice = Yes / Agreed Blink thrice = No / Disagreed
 * Blink four times = Means nothing, it's just him blinking rapidly to make up for the usual lack of blinking
 * Slowly tilting his head towards you = He's paying attention to what you're saying
 * Unresponsive = "Go fuck yourself" / Leave.
