Pyro

Liquid hazel eyes masked behind a pair of thick rimmed glasses were darting around as the boy became quite anxious. His messy thatch of curly brown hair swirled around his head as if it were a tsunami. A nest of freckles were gathered in a ritualistic matter around his nose, becoming sparse and scattering across his soft cheeks, reaching the edges of his features. The slender lips that rested below his nose were stretched into an awkward smile, searching for something to say. His collection of freckles contrasted his pale skin, bringing out his other features. The anxious boy wore an oversized galaxy hoodie and a pair of jeans, in an attempt to his his hourglass figure, which was quite unusual for a male to have. He stood around the height of 4'5, causing him to appear younger than he actually was. He used his index finger to quickly push his glasses up his symmetrical nose, enhancing his vision while further masking his eyes behind the lenses of the thick rimmed glasses. This was an easy way to hide the dark circles under his eyes from having no sleep. Hidden within his jungle of curls, a pearl colored mark of the past was etched into his flesh. A curved scar that was approximately 3cm long was embedded into his skin as a reminder of his past.
