Disclaimer #1: Like many, I believe that Myers Briggs is a very flawed way of categorizing personalities, so this is just for fun!
Disclaimer #2: Leander and the whole cast are so complex and they all suck (lovingly)
Thanks to @eggroll-sama ‘s post back in 6/24 for the idea!
*this post is casually color coded- This means it REALLY sounds like Leander, so does this but a little less blatant, this means it doesn't quite sound like the 'great example of his personality' I'm looking for
CW; tiny ch 1 spoilers, cw is only here because we see more of his personality as the story continues
I like to reference this chart when determining MBTI. I find it very concise and better than taking the test with a character in mind, though I recognize it isn’t a very thorough analysis (more on that later :)) *listed characteristics are directly quoted from here until stated otherwise
As of May 14, 2026 the pdb (personality database) lists Leander as an ENFJ.
I think Leander tries to project himself as ENFJ. I spent some time trying to figure if he prefers to be seen as more flexible (P) than settled (J), but it does seem that he manifest more with EXXJ types after comparison. ex)
ENFJ: Caring, enthusiastic, idealistic, organized, diplomatic, responsible. Skilled communicators who value connection with people.
vs my previous contender; ENFP: enthusiastic, creative, spontaneous, optimistic, supportive, playful. Value inspiration, enjoy starting new projects, see potential in others.
But that seemed too surface level, so I tried to consider him having an 'external' and 'internal' personality (my Gemini king); in order of complexity;
#1 Extroverted vs Introverted: Fundamentally he is extroverted, he's just getting burnt out imo.
#2 Judging vs Perceiving: I could see him either way on this one, but perceivers close to his personality type seem to lean way more creative, easygoing, enthusiastic, free-spirited, and sensitive than than I think would fit Leander.
#3/4 Sensing vs iNtuition & Thinking vs Feeling
I really saw him as intuition over sensing due to his ambition, but he is defined as ‘pragmatic’ (in the backer update #35) which implies sensing over intuition, but I’ve still listed them for your refrence.
ENTJ: Strategic, logical, efficient, outgoing, ambitious, independent. Effective organizers of people and long-range planners.
ENFJ: Caring, enthusiastic, idealistic, organized, diplomatic, responsible. Skilled communicators who value connection with people. (his focus on community seems to be a little more of a tool then exactly a core value imo)
ESFJ: friendly, outgoing, reliable, conscientious, organized, practical. Seek to be helpful and please others, enjoys being active and productive
ESTJ: Efficient, outgoing, analytical, systematic, dependable, realistic. Like to run the show and get things done in an orderly fashion.
T vs F; I wanted to lean towards ‘thinking’ due to his (cannonly rumored) indifferent/impersonal side, but his core values seemed to resonate more with feeling. *hint, pleasing other people/ hero complex ;)
At this point, I started to doubt my idea of categorizing him by external v internal, so here are some comparisons from the holy grail, 16personalitytypes.com
'External'; ENFJ, Protagonist:
Some defining characteristics; serve a greater purpose, born leaders, advocate for their values, care too much for others
Some defining characteristics; ‘bedrock’ of the community, devoted to close bonds, altruist
+Strong practical skills, strong sense of duty, very loyal, sensitive and warm, good at connecting with others
-Worried about their social status, inflexible, vulnerable to criticism, often too needy, too selfless
I still stand on my idea of his social, projected personality being ENFJ and his internal, true self being ESFJ. ENFJ's have this level of optimism that doesn't seem genuine to Leander.
*All of the above traits for ESFJ and this post in general could very well be accurate, but it's difficult to define him without the full game release.
—
TLDR: My initial impression of him was; he projects as ENFP but is internally ENTJ. But after digging into it, he seemed externally ENFJ while being ESFJ internally. This post is longer than usual, so I recommend reading more on ESFJs, especially the romantic relationships & friendships categories.
vent post abt TS fans on reddit (ch 1 spoilers mentioned)
So obviously now that chapter 1 preview is out, there’s a bit more discussion about the content within it and people’s opinions on it. It’s allowed that people can have thoughts and feelings on it - ch 1 preview is a form of media that’s meant to be engaged with.
But what really has me stewing is the fact that some people on Reddit said they were going to email the developers and express their concerns. Some of the comments on patreon had a similar feeling or were overtly this way.
If you’re a fan of the game, I’d hope you want it to come out. And let’s just look at it practically - if the developers make 2-6% progress on writing each month, voice lines are fully recorded for some routes, and art is established for later on in the story, it’s just absolutely crazy to ask for or expect major overhauls of what we’ve seen in chapter 1. Visual novels are like trees anyway - altering chapter 1 in significant ways would send cascading edits throughout their entire work thus far, even to the point of impacting later CGs and re-recording voice lines. The devs have spent months editing and writing the chapters. I can say that ofc it’s reasonable there are changes that people might prefer or wish for - I think that’s natural for any game. But just because people want a change doesn’t mean it should be made or is practical for it to be made.
Also, a common critique is about the pacing. IMO, part of why the pacing might be faster is that literally the scope of the plot is a lot larger than plenty of other otome/amare games. The devs planned to have 5 chapters for each character. Think logically about the path each character is on.
Vere is escaping the Senobium at night through shadow form (?) and has been plotting how to leave the Senobium for like 100 years. Kuras is strong enough to raze the city to the ground and like, shatter heaven. Ais is being overtaken by a god (?) who may try and seize control over the city. Mhin’s been investigating the shroud and traveling through time(?). Leander’s being himself. LIKE. The game isn’t going to be a slow burn romance where it takes a long time to hold hands because things need to get moving to reach a satisfying conclusion on these plot points in only 5 chapters. The characters need to fall in love with mc, have a personally and possibly world shattering conflict, and then resolve it. We can’t waste time blushing while peering at each other from beneath our lashes.
ALSO, 4/5, possibly 5 out of 5 characters are fairly sexual people. Ais, Leander and Vere all go without saying. But even Mhin has hooked up with Leander for example, and Kuras has dated plenty in the past. MC is absolutely thrilled to have someone they can touch without fear of irrevocably damaging them - and they can touch plenty of the LIs. if we go canonically, it doesn’t make that much sense to me for the physicality of the relationship to lag behind that much. Maybe it’s not what YOU would do, but the Touchstarved devs have a vision for the MC and the game as a whole - and importantly, many constraints that they’re working under.
I don’t think the devs are faultless or something, but it’s like. 1) be realistic about what changes can be made at this point 2) understand that we have a much more narrow view of the characters and the plot 3) the devs are working very hard to create something that both fans would enjoy and represents their artistic vision, and it doesn’t feel that appreciated to me.
Sure, there are changes that I would make if I was an editor for the game. And I think that probably the devs should announce a second delay, because following the percentage progress, I don’t think they’re on track to release this this year unless things start progressing faster.
But like emailing the devs about your issues with the game and requesting specific changes just feels so entitled to me idk. Ppl reading this might say - “it’s not entitled, I paid money so they should create the product that I want.” ok, but it’s not a personalized, made-to-order meal. If you read a book or watch a movie and don’t like it, it’s inappropriate to go to the creator and demand they make changes until you approve, even though u bought the novel or paid a ticket.
Also there’s risk inherent to backing smth on kickstarter - the game not coming out at all, totally shifting in direction, etc. paying money there literally is just like “I want these creators to be able to attempt this idea.” IMO, if someone going to be very specific and nitpicky about execution, they’re not the type of person who should be backing things in advance. If they care that specifically about the end product, they should wait for it to actually exist and make sure it meets their various standards before spending anything. Unless you’re paying for the backing tiers where you are allowed to help shape the game, your money only entitles you to receive the product that is created.
This! Criticism is always welcome for any media, and you don't have to be a super fan to enjoy something, but I hope more people remember that this game is a passion project made by indie developers. Not an overworked corporate team that lacks the time to have soul or creativity.
This could be a non issue, but it seems apparent to me that a lot of people feel like they're owed something because touchstarved was so successful on Kickstarter. I follow many indie teams and support several Kickstarters, and I've never seen this amount of this type of criticism. Maybe this is another ignorant take but imo, wanting the plot of a game/book/movie to be different is what fanfic is for. I find it bizarre to see so much of it with so little of the game out.
I don't blame anyone for being suspicious that this one will be disappointing in the same way as Last Legacy or The Arcana, and I'm not as highly educated as some on the failures of Nix Hydra, but this is a different team of devs who have put in a lot of work to be transparent and informative about their goals & process.
I've noticed controversy about Ais' character in the preview which I've been surprised about. Ais is a consistent character thus far in my opinion. Because of common criticism I thought why not make my own case for Ais.
I believe the marketing of the game always had Ais as a dominant kind of character, and this was driven home in the demo. That was always supposed to be his archetype and that was always the appeal. So I was surprised when I saw people genuinely complaining about the way he was acting in the preview. If anyone finds it corny or a little cringe that's completely fair and I see where you're coming from, and to some extent can agree, it just doesn't necessarily mean that something is poorly written.
In addition, I saw some felt the mark was missed in comparison to the demo, and I disagree. He had the same short way that he speaks combined with the same demeanor as in the demo.
In his character card it says that he "lets his emotions rule him". We see that if he feels a certain way in the moment he will act on it. If he feels genuinely annoyed with the mc in the moment he's likely to express that. This is a major character flaw that I can see potential development in where he learns to actually have some self control, for his own sake and also being cognizant about the way he reacts to the people around him he cares about.
Some people expressed the distaste of Ais going to the brothel and the implication that he might have gotten services there. I somewhat agree and disagree. I agree in the way that if he were real, I'd be turned off and disgusted. But this is a fictional world where sex work and receiving those services aren't taboo or potentially inherently exploitative in a way that mimics the real world. In TS it seems like a gray area, rather than reprehensible which I think adds to the already questionable morality that Ais has, combined with the loneliness he said he hates. Even with all that said, if you hated this and don’t fw Ais anymore because of this scene that is justified.
Speaking of Ais' loneliness, a lot of people felt like the pacing was way too fast for the preview in general (it was) but I think for a character like Ais it can work. Remembering that he is lonely and craves connection which causes him to get attached far too easily; what was basically a confession to the mc toward the end of preview before he goes cold, makes sense for him to do. He felt like he was losing the mc, someone who at that point- did not know the full scope of how violent and brutal he can be, in addition to unpredictability as said in another character card:
This shows the viewers where Ais is mentally (ill), with how he is already attached and drawn to the mc- who wasn't so naïve to not point out that they only just met. By the end of the demo he becomes extremely distant towards the main character and tells them not to talk to him again unless they’re ready to drink from the spring. Probably because he doesn’t want the mc to be around him when he loses control of his own body to Ocudeus, who is possessing him. This is where that unpredictability comes in again, because just minutes prior, he was seeking out the mc.
I used character cards that RSS made years ago and I usually wouldn't use information that viewers would have to find outside of the immediate material, but from the little I know about these kinds of games, promo character cards are normal to introduce the character and reference, correct me if I'm wrong.
I also think part of the issues with many fans finding the characters have become inconsistent is the large time gap of canon content that puts a lot of fans in a position where we'll just kind of forget. I don’t think Ais was poorly written, I think the writing in the preview could have been better if this is what is what to be expected from his actual route, if you catch my vibe.
I'm not the least bit worried about the direction RSS is taking with Ais. He is the first character they made and he is front and center in almost every cover piece that's like... their golden child. I'm not saying writers can't fuck up their own characters because I've definitely seen some crazy character assassination before, I'm just saying that as of now, I'm not concerned about RSS doing that. now i'm dick riding. Whatever.
Feel free to weigh in with your own opinions and interpretations. I'm genuinely interested to hear them, especially if you didn't like Ais in the preview, I'm not here to argue.
I thought his characterization was very consistent with the impression I got during the demo. He's standoffish, violent, unpredictable, and somehow still flirty. He kabedons the MC in the demo! That's blueprint tough guy nonsense (and I love it). His situationship with Vere was presented to us from the get go, his relationship sheet/ Vere dialogue about Ais, so the brothel scene wasn't surprising for me. If someone reserved like Mhin or Kuras was in a brothel I'd assume it was purely business. (And we're only speculating why Ais is a regular, it isn't technically confirmed) I think he was a prick for some of the stuff he pulls but that's part of his charm/ character trope imo.
The pacing for his route seemed just fine to me, even though I've spoken about it, I just think the affection could have been turned down by like 30% to feel less jarring. Even still, I appreciate it and I wouldn't mind if the finished game keeps this scene in his first chapter. I find him and Mhin the most genuine out of the cast.
Summary: You escape the Wet Wick, gone with the wind. Leander comes home to find your room empty, and he starts to wonder if this is the end of the line.
Leander x Escaped!Reader
| ふりかえりおもうたび, こたえがみつからない |
A/N: It's been so long since I've done a TS one-shot, so I figured I could share this with you guys.
. . .
The air is suffocatingly still in the room where he once loved you. He can't find your hood, or your bandages, and only your scent is left behind the sheets. Leander finds himself buried in the cotton of your blanket, poorly attempting to calm himself down in the faint reminders of the nights that used to be. Fire light glows through the window, the flames illuminate the streets as the Adders call your name, beckoning you to come forth before a greater danger finds you—as if the soulless are the true beasts that haunt the streets of lower Eridia.
Leander's makeshift solace is beginning to wane in effectiveness, and he can feel his heart beginning to shake from within his chest. Did the Senobium suddenly decide you were worth their time? He could find you if those high and mighty bastards took you. A soulless, no matter how brutal, could never erase your presence like this. Was it Ais who stole you away in the night? Or perhaps Vere—he always had such a way with words. Kuras was in the crowd of Adders, keeping an eye out for you anyway. Mhin..? It made no sense for them to take you under their cloak.
The moon is shining, it's your lamp—there was once a time where Leander was lucky enough to occasionally catch you soaking in the silver rays, like a moth waiting by the candlelight. If only he could see the way your eyes rejuvenated with light when you were alone with Mother Moon and her tender shine. Eridia had a way of taking that joy away from people's lives, and perhaps it is that light Leander wants to restore into you. Yet, no amount of magically verdant lilies had ever drawn more than a meagre thanks, and a smile that never reached the rest of your face.
Eventually, the only thing Leander can smell in your comforter is his own cologne, and there's nothing left for him to do except retire to bed for the night. The Adders will be more effective for now, but tomorrow, he will not rest until he gets a lead. Those Senobium bastards will pay for even grazing a strand of your hair. The milky light of the night spills into his room, and he grazes his fingers upon his desk to guide himself, but then he feels it. A wax seal.
He quickly lights a candle, and rips the envelope open, tastefully discarding the shredded paper and the flawless wax without a second taste. Your eye for aesthetics has never been anything short of perfect if you have the time for your craft. Eridia isn't exactly a place for the mundane arts, but Leander has always appreciated the way you make the world that much brighter... for him at least. It takes a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dark.
Dear Leander,
Goodbye. This is the last time.
What is that even supposed to mean, he wonders to himself as he scans both sides of the paper, holding it over the candle to look for any strange ink. He even uses the glow of his lilies to search, but no. You have left nothing else for him to go off on. Nothing about your location, nothing about why, you are simply gone. Will Vere come tomorrow to inquire about your whereabouts? Will Ais call "Sparrow" in the night, but not hear anything in return? Mhin, he knows that they will scan the floor, and leave once they realise you're no longer here.
You are gone, but he can find you! Leander will always find you. You can run, but he'll always be here if you want to come back, he... this isn't the last time he'll see you, he's sure. The moon is the witness of his love, and so long as the night is bright with silver, you will be his.
Are you coming back?
No, you are coming back.
. . .
A/N: I kind of lost my mind towards the end of this. Does the ending make sense? I hope it makes sense.
Is Leander a Cancer or a Gemini? Was he born on June 21st AND ‘The Summer Solstice?”
Let’s talk about Leander’s birthday.
When someone is born on the transition date of a Zodiac, their Sun sign will be determined by the time and location of their birth. For example, the Sun enters Cancer June 21, 4:24 am EDT this year, but last year it was June 20th at 10:42 pm EDT. Anyone born before these times would be a Gemini, as the Sun can only be in one Zodiac at a time. (roughly speaking, I’m sure exact long. & lat. could make a difference)
In general, June 21st is recognized as Cancer upon a quick google search, but there is technically no way to know until RSS confirms Leander’s zodiac. (Side note, I think the only reference to western Zodiac they’ve made is calling Ais a typical Leo last year lol)
Below are two concise info sheets I’m fond of that describe Cancer and Gemini, for your consideration.
He's so much more Gemini right?? cuz he's two faced....
And then descriptors for his birthday I found in my copy of “The Power of Birthdays, Stars, & Numbers” by Saffi Crawford and Geraldine Sullivan, keep in mind it was originally published in 1998.
Though it’s most likely that he was born June 21st and it landed on the solstice the year he was born, its still fun to speculate;
The Summer Solstice can land on June 20th or 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. The social media posts for Leander’s birthday have landed on the following dates. Captions included for fun at the end :)
June 20th, 2025 (the Solstice of last year)
June 21, 2024 (not the solstice of ‘24)
June 21, 2023 (the Solstice of ‘23)
Suspicious? Since last year's post I’ve wondered if Leander is actually born June 21st and/or the solstice of the year he was born, or if RSS made an error. ( alt/ conspiracy theory; his parents made up his bday).
Promised captions; direct quotes from RSS
Happy Birthday Leander! What do you plan on giving him for his special day? ‘25
“Waking up to see your face… I couldn’t have asked for a better gift.” Happy Birthday Leander! ‘24
It’s Leander’s birthday! That means all drinks at the Wet Wick are on him… but aren't they always? What kind of present would you get him? ‘23
TLDR; Until RSS tells us what Zodiac Leander is, in my heart he is a Gemini & the year/date he was born landed on the solstice but perhaps it didnt and his parents say he’s born on the solstice.
p.s. there are none better at consuming media for this VN than I, but if anyone has found any explicit mention of his, or any of the other of the casts zodiac, please lmk!!
I don't typically participate in art trends/redraw challenges, but it was so fitting for him. I crashed out several times while working on it, but I lived (used the game bg for the top panel bc I didn't have time for all that 💔)
Another reddit prompt that scratched my brain so here was my response 🫶
Is Leander a yandere?
CW; very minor ch 1 spoilers for Leander's dialogue (original ver-minimal change for Leander's route)
Short answer; no I don't think he's a yandere. I think RSS is being genuine in his MANY yandere traits but I don't think he'll totally fit under the yandere trope.
*read this short post first for some context
Long answer; he is MANIPULATIVE, some intentional and some by genuine accident (the worst kind in my opinion). There's no way to know if he's intentionally love bombing us (meaning his goal is to shower us with affection and then withhold it to gain control over us) until the game comes out. But he definitely seems to enjoy our particular situation where affection could easily be a tool to be used against us. Some of Leander's dialogue in chapter 1 alludes to him feeling discontent and stressed by maintaining his public image, only doing so out of obligation to step up when no one else would, and we get a few moments where he seems to put his walls down. The first time it happens (by my account) he refers to himself as an unfinished painting, then is genuinely surprised and embarrassed that he said that to us because he knows it's out of his character. This is one of several moments where Leander makes us feel special in this way, like we're the only person he's ever felt comfortable around. The first one feels unintentional, but the few after give me the impression that he's seeking a confirmation bias ie several claims that 'he knew we would understand 'x' about him' or how he feels (meaning he wants to believe this so he finds any and all things about us that confirm his opinion). I don't think the devs would spend a decent chunk of his first chapter building this dynamic of 'golden-boy who only feels understood and like himself around you' just to throw it away and say, 'well actually, this was his plan all along.'
As per terms I found on the Yandere wiki, Leander is lovestruck, affectionate, obsessive, possessive, lonely and he values trust and devotion. He mentions multiple times that he can't get us out of his head. I'm dying to know what he sees in us and why he wants us around. He claims to feel surrounded all his life yet still lonely, except with us.
To be a true yandere, he'll have to have a few moments where he acts out on his possessive/jealous feelings (per demo- leash comment/wants to keep you to himself). We'd have to see some kind of mental instability and that truely horrible obsessive nature, not just a fixation on a crush. He exhibits a lot of the behaviors that could lead to a very successful yandere reveal, but I'd like to think RSS is going to give us something less predictable.
Tldr he is my morally gray king and I'm wearing RED tinted glasses. He just has a crush you guys let a man be a little delulu 💫💖🫶
I'm taking a shower now, and I was thinking... What professions would the LI from Touchstarved have in the Modern AU?
Like, I know Kuras would be focused on some area of healthcare, doctor, nurse, or something like that. And Leander would work in a bar (Or not?). That makes me wonder; would Mhin work at some pet shop (or cat adoption center) or something more serious and "dangerous"?
What would Vere do? In my mind, Ais would be unemployed. It's funny to think of him trying all kinds of jobs and never succeeding at any of them. PFT-
I think Leander would still be the leader of a gang, but it's not a gang he swears! They're a family 🤗🫶 you think he would break the law? You're safe with him he promises nothing bad will happen. Not to you 🙂. Just a close knit family that values devotion and loyalty and trust and as long as you're always abiding by those things then you stay family 😁
And ex-gang leader Ais has double the mystery because no one knows what the hell his group used to do or stand for. Which is true regardless, but we can make assumptions based on the setting. In a modern day I have no clue what shenanigans Ais would get up to. In my soul he's too uncommitted (externally) /strong willed (internally) to be a proper assassin, but as we know (ch 1) he'd still kill someone for info
Maybe I should do a deep dive into organized crime to assign them more accurate modern hcs 😭
Just a few harmless Leander dialogue screenshots, for the good of the people 🫣
*ch 1 original ver spoilers-minimal change for Leander's route
(it's chapter 1 sshh)
*they keep getting cropped weird but I think I fixed it 🫡
Leander you are just as amazing and horrible as I hoped you would be
Also I'm completely willing to answer any questions in comments/ reblogs etc ♥️ & my insta is in the comments if you want a little more than I'm willing to share on Tumblr
I posted this a little while ago on the Touchstarved reddit to answer someone's question about the ages of the cast and I thought I'd post it here for your theory consideration 🙂↕️
*I use human years (HY) and Shroud years (SY) on occasion.
CW; very very mild spoilers from backer updates
tldr at the end ♥️
Oldest to youngest; Kuras, Vere, Ais, Mhin, Leander and this is dearly canon with Vere, Ais, and Mhin having some ambiguity in Shroud years.
1)
In Kuras' character lore page he's implied to be referenced in humanity's oldest tales, I think Kuras being the oldest is backed by this piece we got about Vere last month too;
2)
Vere is the second oldest if you're counting years in the human realm, but technically the third oldest (update #58)
*In updates about their birthdays and such RSS jokes about Vere and Kuras being an obnoxious 15+ digit age haha
3)
I assume Ais is the third oldest in human realm years, but I think in Shroud years ™️ he's older than Vere? Because it's either him or Mhin, and Mhin has to be young enough to be from Eridia, unless Eridia is effectively Mesopotamia
- Since he's from the Shroud, he doesn't have the same restraints on age that humans do.
-Leander mentions knowing Ais for 6 years give or take. It's possible he's only been in the human realm about that long, as he presumably needs to travel into Eridia to have built his relationship with Vere (I don't believe they knew each other in the shroud, as Vere has been collared for a long time. If they did know each other then centuries, at the very least, will have had to pass since they were reunited)
-And then whatever his ties to Ocudeus imply that we don't know. According to the Death Knell lore drop I think Ocudeus is the only rival to Kuras' age, maybe it's older.
4)
I've seen a theory on here about Mhin being from a different era and getting stuck in time during a trip to Lovent or the like. They've mentioned being from Eridia and how things weren't always the way there are, yet everyone believes they are new. (The Lovent is from a 'bygone era' too, if we take that literally it could be implying Mhin is the one older than Vere in SY, or at the very least that means Ais and Vere are older than an era SY) Compared to Ais, who could be a few decades old or much much more, and Leander who likely isn't older than 35, I don't think Mhin being here is a stretch.
*also, is Mhin human? I've been certain they are for so long I've forgotten where I might have read they were human. I know Leander is just some guy ™️ so does that mean he's the only human? Even though everyone is monstrous, but I'm not sure if it's exactly cannon that Mhin isn't a monster from the Shroud. I could just be misremembering 😓
5)
Leander is the youngest (update #32 -June 2024)
"...Leander was expected to join the Senobium when he came of age. Instead, he packed up his bags twelve years ago to chase his own dreams..."
I wonder what exact age this quote is referring to. Normally, we'd assume 16 or 18, but 'of age' in Hightown could be something completely different. 16 is the youngest I figure, so minimum he's possibly around 28 but it's anybody's guess.
TLDR;
Kuras - history has been forgotten plenty of times since his arrival to the human realm, Eons
Vere - confirmed second oldest in human realm years, Epoch or Era
Ais- third oldest in human realm years, potentially older than Vere in Shroud years
Mhin- second youngest, potentially older than Vere in Shroud years.
Leander- confirmed youngest and personally I see him as mid to late 20's, 25-32 ish
Ais wants to see your tattoos, Ais wants to touch and trace your tattoos, he wants you to move your clothes and show him everywhere your body is permanently m̶a̶r̶k̶e̶d̶ inked. If you try to verbally describe them, he'll stare down the parts of you he can't see until you understand that words aren't enough.
I've seen many people mention how an 'adder' is a snake but has anyone looked up how they literally symbolize 'someone who is treacherous or deceitful,' which ofc is a common symbol for snakes but not always!
if you took a bite of Leander or if he bit you you'd get sick I'm sure 🤕
