I
Creating Arvid Fure
i. Appearance
                           Arvid is shaped from the late-night preferences of East Asian women in their early twenties—women searching for a face that aches a little, like a soft wound. Dark hair to hold desire without announcing it. Blue eyes with just enough distance for loneliness to settle in. Tall and thin, because fragility feels safer than certainty. Nordic, because colder places forge warmer fantasies.
                           When his first images surfaced, he felt less constructed than recalled. Arvid is the boy imagined leaning over a kitchen counter at 2 a.m., speaking in a low, near-honest tone. The boy whose gaze hovers like a forming confession that never arrives. A quiet lady-killer—one who seduces by letting you believe you might be the one to keep him from breaking.
