A/N: man this took a while but it was rlly fun to make this I hope u guys enjoy!! I threw in 2 references I doubt anyone will recognize...
First of all, I'd like to see him in a rugged cape because it reminds me of the java knocker.
After a while of stalking you he never attempts to take the time to take care of himself, causing them to smell horrible and his hair gets longer. He just doesn't want to miss a moment of you.
Speaking of smell and hair, he definitely smells of sweat and bark. His hair is thick and greasy and it takes about 4 hours just to untangle his hair after cleaning it.
Even if you're already bonded to it, they're still a bit of a jerk to you now and then. He has to have his fun sometimes, so let him have it.
He doesn't care what you call him or what pronouns, usually he goes by he, him, they, them, it.
➥ His name was given by villagers who rumored about him and his little stalking habit.
If you have pets he's instantly jealous of how much love they get instead of him. One day he even thought of killing them. You caught him in the act and put them in a time out corner, with the promise that if he ever tries that again you’ll leave him.
➥ That night when you both were snuggled up in bed, your pet and him were having a staring contest while you were asleep.
Speaking of animals, he’s not really fond of them since they alert villagers (and the player) that they’re around. But later, they get comfortable enough the more he hangs around the player.
➥ Of course, this upsets him since he has a big ego and his entire existence is to strike fear into any creature.
With you, they found his purpose, and that is with you eternally. If you ever shut him down he’s completely blaming himself and begging for your forgiveness or wallowing in shame somewhere in the woods. If you do forgive them he’s doing his best to do something in return like doing a task, tending to your animals, or giving you a massage.
His love language is quality time and physical affection, obviously. They want every second of your time, whether you're busy or tired. When is he not touching you? Never. He's always nearby, brushing himself onto you to mark his scent.
…I think he just likes rubbing off his scent on you while also having that satisfying shiver of smelling your own, especially if you've been gone for a long time; he's smelling your clothes or your pillow.
It also likes marking you in any form and shape such as kisses, hickeys, bruises, and small cuts if you’re into that. He can’t help but have fun with you while you sleep, and once you wake up you find that your body is covered with handprints and hickeys.
If he's in a vulnerable state (which he never shows out of pride) they'd be laying in your bed with your pillow smushed at his face.
➥ If you ever find him like this he'll attempt to act as if nothing happened. To this day he tries to convince you he was not acting weak or cute.
Whenever you're gone doing something he mourns you deeply even though you're CLEARLY alive. They lie on your bed all day till you get back, and when you do he's already at the door smothering you with affection and dragging you to the bed. Yeah, you're never hearing the end of him or how he missed you.
Doesn't blink. Like at all. It would attempt to squint their eyes at least while kissing so he doesn't freak you out. This includes as well while trying to sleep.
He doesn't need to sleep or eat particularly, they eat for the love of the game. Also don't trust his taste buds. Like at all. His favorite food is bread because you were the one that introduced them to it.
They're always the one to remind you it's late and that you should go to sleep, sometimes ending up with him carrying you up upon his shoulders to the bed. He would even wrap his arms around you so won't break free.
I’d like to think of him as cold blooded, so it always seeks you for warmth whenever you’re near. I guess this is also the reason why he doesn’t need to eat.
He definitely has heightened senses, especially night vision so he can hunt all day. Although when it comes to you it's handy to watch you sleep from afar or standing right next to your bed, staring at you intently.
If you ever asked him what he knows about you, oh boy is he going to recite a ridiculously long ass list about you, some that you never knew about yourself.
When is he never not following you? You can practically feel and SMELL him from a foot away since you've grown accustomed to their presence. No matter where you are, they're not too far to follow you.
It absolutely despises swamp biomes. There's not exactly a lot of trees to hide behind, the mosquitos are horrendous, and the sticky heat is just too overwhelming for him.
Has a liking for forest or birch tree biomes, it perfectly blends within the shadows and there's plenty of hiding places. Nobody knows the forest like they do.
It LOVES cuddling with you. Most of the day is just you both snuggling each other to death. If you offered him to cuddle up he's already on top of you, his weight crushing you. Good luck trying to escape. He wouldn't mind you on top of him either, both. Both is good.
They definitely have a long black tongue and they use it to his advantage a lot when it comes to kissing or going down on you.
Sloppy kisser. Doesn't know how to properly kiss so you have to show him…unless you're into sloppy make outs. He's usually a tongue kisser, exploring every crevice and corner of your mouth. Loves to tangle his tongue with yours as a competition, he always wins.
If you ever challenged him to something he isn't one to back down from a fight. They're just that stupidly stubborn like that. Also would be incredibly cocky if he won. Of course, you had to teach him a lesson for rubbing it in your face.
Their ways of courtship are…odd but at least it worked on you. Some of the following are:
➟ Circling you for minutes. He doesn't even get dizzy doing this, surprisingly.
➟ Leaving his fresh kill or bones at your front door step. They'll get real full of themselves if you actually accept his gift.
➟ Doing your hobbies along with you. It makes him feel more connected to you.
➟ And if your hobbies are drawing or cooking he'd attempt to do those things to impress you.
➥ They drew a poorly drawn image of you, which in response you hung it in your room. The amount of absolute joy that filled him when he witnessed that. They even tried cooking you dinner during your mining trip but… it didn't exactly go well. Half of your kitchen was burnt in the aftermath and the food was crispy as coal. You helped him improve his cooking skills from that accident.
➟ Lastly, it would attempt domestic tactics as well to prove that he can help around the house.
They… aren't exactly human, he originally has back spikes and a spikey tail but he hid those features to make themself less scary so he could approach you.
He's immune to fire. He always lights stuff up, including your house sometimes, and maybe himself! It's actually really terrifying to see him up in flames, it makes him look even more uncanny..
He has pale white teeth somehow. I doubt he even knows how to brush his teeth.
They're about 6’2, so he easily over towers you and indulges in teasing you about it. But he would immediately crumble if you pulled him from his hoodie strings just to kiss them.
Would do anything for you. It doesn't matter how ridiculous, how small, or how insane your demand is. They would voyage the seas and walk beyond land for you.
Overly protective. Always lingers whenever you're out on a trip at the mines to clear out the mobs. If anything or anyone even has the intent of harming you they'd instantly be overridden by regret and misery.
Great at foraging! Makes use of this skill to help you build recipes or anything else you need.
Pretty awkward when it comes to kids. Completely irresponsible for them and wouldn't blink an eye (get it? Cause he can't blink!) if they were ever in danger. Don't let him near them, actually.
Could perfectly mimic sounds and voices. Remember when I said he isn't exactly human? Well I think they can shape shift somewhat to a fine copy of a human being. It even shifted into you one time and your heart dropped so low to the floor.
I think he likes copying you in general. In terms of hobbies, style, and personality. It gets annoying at some point.
Please don't ignore them. He can't handle it, they'll end up lighting up the forest or invoke absolute fear into you. They smash your windows and knock harder as if he's trying to break the door.
But the moment you pay attention to him he stills, processing the fact that you've noticed it. Then he slowly calms down while staying in your shadow in silence.
I know it might be terrifying to approach him throwing a tantrum but he wouldn't hurt a single hair on your pretty head. The moment you sweet talk them or lightly brush your hand on them, they immediately crumble before you.
