Aesthetics - Teddy’s aesthetic is a mix of wealthy CEO and dark academia as it gives off the facade of being respectable and learned, something he actively tries to be for his own selfish agendas
Colour - His pink hair is a big part of his characterisation bc his mother has the same head of pink hair. A spitting image of his father, the pink hair is the only resemblance he has with her, and he holds onto that fact dearly bc of his strained relationship with his absent father
Movie - The first movie that came to mind bc of the main character’s schemes to charm their way into becoming someone they’re not
Animal - A bit self explanatory. Theodore - Teddy - Teddy bear. Unlike other bears, however, the image of a polar bear alone in the vast expanse of the north pole snow feels like the true him somehow
YEVGENY “ZHENYA” BOGDANOV
Specifically the first season of Codename: Anastasia’s webtoon version where Zhenya somehow outsmarts the MC at every turn. He has this mysterious charm about him where it seems like he’s hiding something, but you just can’t confirm it
Definitely more extraverted and more engaging than Suocheng, but still hides a lot of aspects of himself just like Suocheng. In the webtoon, I interpreted Suocheng as having a complex relationship with his mother based on what little crumbs we have of his backstory, and that definitely seeped into Teddy’s backstory a bit
Just like Ivan, Teddy’s an observant guy who picks up little social cues here and there from his surroundings and uses them to put on an image that’s palatable, even sometimes attractive, to everyone
Once again with the wearing a mask to hide his true agendas, just like Mizuki. And similar to Mizuki, he would soon find himself at a crossroad when he begins to feel attachment towards the buddies he pretends to befriend. I also think Mizuki’s voice is very fitting for him. The amount of charm and sass is just perfect
Terrified of commitment and only using people for his own selfish goals, especially the naive ones, the line of ‘You’re too sweet for me’ definitely speaks to his attitude towards those whose feelings and emotions he takes advantage of
Teddy can be a bit stubborn about his own goals of tracking down his wizard father, and the song speaks to his dogged desire of ‘chasing his father’ and ‘proving himself to his father’
“I’m on my knees praying for glory. Anyone read this underdog story?”
Teddy started off as a (perceived) squib with no magical ability and no idea how to make contact with the magical world, and he’s desperate to prove his father wrong for abandoning him
It’s always been on my mind that I want Teddy to fly too close to the sun one day and Viva La Vida perfectly encapsulates his fall from grace that I’ve always imagined
