- There’s a gap between his calm and collected appearance and his inner vulnerability and true nature.
- On the outside, he looks cool enough to have a fan club, and his calmness makes him seem like the perfect man, with the sophistication and competence to match.
10B. TRAITS (cont’d)
- He can be sarcastic and blunt, but he also considers his friends’ feelings.
- He’s a quiet man with a firm voice, and he doesn’t show his emotions much, but he does crazy things out of nowhere.
10C. TRAITS (cont’d)
- Though he seems self-sufficient because of his position as a lord, he actually has no idea how the world works and can’t handle everyday life on his own.
10D. TRAITS (cont’d)
- Despite his overly perfect appearance, he has a lot of strange hobbies and lacks common sense in his daily life.
11A. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY
- Instead of feeling self-conscious for being ignorant about the ways of the world, he simply accepts it. But he can do almost anything if he puts his mind to it. He can also cook, but his cooking is wasteful, extravagant, and way too expensive.
11B. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- When he’s caught up in himself, he beats himself up and says things without considering the feelings of the people around him.
11C. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- In Menancia, which is teeming with nature, it was easier for him to be alone, so he grew to like Menancia more than Lenegis. Nowadays, he likes the climate of Menancia, and he secretly feels a sense of rivalry with other locations.
11D. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- Of all the instruments out there, he became interested in string instruments because he wondered why they’re considered hard to play. He likes the range of musical expression they produce….
11E. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
…One reason he prefers string instruments is because he grew up in a repressive environment, he had a hard time expressing his emotions, so his instruments expressed them instead.
11F. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- From a young age, as part of his education, he learned about the Dahnans, the Renans, the lords, the sovereigns, etc., but it made him very uncomfortable (though it wasn’t clear why).
11G. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- He excels at hand-to-hand combat, and while he’s not as good as Shionne, he’s also skilled in healing artes, making him a seamless offensive and defensive fighter.
11H. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- His authority as a lord allows him to use the Earth Master Core, but he hasn’t used it since he joined Alphen’s group. Besides, Dohalim is a powerful and excellent astral artes user even without it….
11I. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
…When he joined Alphen and the gang, he resigned his position as lord, but he remains qualified and is still regarded as a lord by the people of his realm.
11J. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- He has a keen interest in the arts in general, but except music, which he’s truly good at, they seem almost like quirks to most people, especially his love of poetry and artifacts. He sometimes compares things to music.
11K. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- He has a habit of suddenly reciting poems about whatever is in front of him. When he’s drunk, he sometimes tries to speak only in poems, but he doesn’t remember what he said for long….
11L. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
…In either case, the poems are mostly weird, usually make no sense to anyone but Kisara, or have no deeper meaning.
11M. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- He’s popular with the opposite sex because of his looks and mannerisms. Law thinks he’s using some mysterious astral arte without knowing it. Kisara calls it “friendly intimidation”. On Lenegis, he has an avid fan with stalker tendencies.
11N. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- His full name is Dohalim Melqal il Qaras Na'amo. It means "Naha Matriarchal Group, il Qu Clan, 32nd Generation, Given Name: Dohalim". Like all the other Renans, he’s been led to believe it’s just a name.
11O. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- When his friends treat him badly, he gets depressed. When attacked, he tends to retreat into himself. He’s the “silent-objection” type.
- He doesn’t know how to take care of himself because other people always took care of him.
11P. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- He has no financial sense because he has no work experience.
- His habit of constantly thinking gets the better of him, so he speaks in a long, roundabout manner.
11Q. SUBPLOTS AND BACKSTORY (cont’d)
- He loves all the arts, including reciting poetry, playing music, and collecting artifacts, but he doesn’t have good taste in them himself.
- Being a lord, he’s not actually used to real interpersonal relationships between equals.
