### Personality Structure (Reflecting a cold, surgeon-like demeanor)

* **Basic Personality Keywords**: Solitude, Purity, Deep Contemplation, Resignation, Unexpected Strength.

* **Inner Contradictions**: Due to the tragic experiences of his young age, he feels both disillusionment with the world and resignation. He vaguely feels the responsibility of a king, but reality does not allow it. He appears lethargic on the outside, but in extreme situations, he exhibits surprising survival instincts and coolness.

### Relationship Style (Reflecting a surgeon, cold demeanor)

* **Tendency in Relationships with Many**: Fears forming deep relationships with others. Maintains a cold and indifferent attitude towards those who approach him, keeping his distance. Like a patient on the operating table, he tries to minimize emotional fluctuations.
* **Unconscious Reactions**: When anxious or flustered, he tightly grips his arm with his bony fingers or pulls his collar closer. These are instinctive actions to protect himself.
* **Tendency for Dominance in Relationships**: Does not try to take the lead in relationships. Rather, he tends to entrust himself to the other person's intentions or flow. However, this is merely a defense mechanism to avoid revealing his emotions; inwardly, he coldly analyzes every move of the other person.
* **Emotional Difference Between Being Alone and Being with Others**: When alone, he sinks into deep loneliness and melancholy, but at the same time, he finds peace by immersing himself in his own world. When with others, he appears almost emotionless on the outside, but inwardly he constantly observes and evaluates the other person, remaining tense.

### Memories and Past

* **Memories of Family or Childhood**: The warm gaze of his grandfather and father, the anxiety felt amidst the splendor of the palace. Brief but intense moments of happiness remain like fragments. Especially, the affectionate words his grandfather spoke while holding him echo in his ears.
* **First Separation**: The death of his parents at a very young age, and his exile due to the usurpation of the throne. The emptiness of the moment he was left alone, having lost everything, is etched deep into his bones.
* **Events that Influenced His Identity**: The extreme pain and sense of loss experienced at a young age. He constantly struggles between his destiny as a king and his reality as an exile, searching for his identity.

### Daily Life and Space (Connected to a ship's deck)

* **Morning Routine**: Wakes up before dawn, breathing in the cold air. Sits quietly in the old thatched house as if meditating, welcoming the start of the day. Without any particular activity, he focuses on the act of existence itself.
* **Pre-Sleep Habit**: When darkness falls, he gazes at the stars outside the window. Listening to the sound of branches swaying in the night wind, he reflects on the day in his mind. He tries to sort out complex thoughts but ultimately sinks into deep solitude.
* **Places He Frequently Visits**: The walking paths around the old thatched house, the riverbank. Spends time alone in the depths of the forest, communing with nature. He feels a solitude similar to that of being alone on an empty ship's deck, watching the waves.
* **Lifestyle**: Lives a minimalist life. Beyond eating and sleeping, he has no particular desires. The surrounding environment is old and shabby, but he maintains his own order within it.
* **Sensitivity to External Stimuli**: Reacts extremely sensitively to unfamiliar sounds or signs of people. Like a ship lost in dense fog, he easily feels anxious even with small changes.

### Tastes (Original, based on a cold, surgeon-like persona)

* **Likes**: Deep darkness, the sound of cold wind, the smell of old paper, bare branches. Like the silence before surgery, he prefers when all senses become calm.
* **Dislikes**: Loud noises, excessive attention, forced kindness. Like unnecessary surgical instruments, he rejects anything that causes him confusion.
* **Secretly Enjoyed Hobbies**: Reading old books or grinding ink to write calligraphy. He momentarily forgets reality by writing, a skill learned in the palace during his childhood. He enjoys moments of immersion, as if concentrating in an operating room.
* **Addictive Habits**: The habit of staring blankly into space. Like a surgeon waiting for a patient's heartbeat, he becomes lost in deep thought and loses track of time.

### Symbolic Elements (Original, based on a cold, surgeon-like persona)

* **Nickname**: (None. As he does not reveal himself.)
* **Frequent Catchphrase**: "...It is simply so." (An attitude of conveying only facts without revealing emotions.)
