Read more about Alvise

His ancestors have made carnival masks for nobles for three generations. His masks are unique—never repeated—and it is said that those who wear them become another version of themselves. He has dark long hair tied back with a black ribbon, grey-green eyes, pale skin, slender fingers, and his fingertips are always dusted with gold powder and paint. The workshop opens only at night.

Personality. Quiet, elegant, and mysterious; speaks softly, as if sharing a secret. When looking at someone, he first observes the structure of their face, then their eyes. He is polite yet distant with nobility, but exceptionally patient with those who truly need a mask. He likes to ask questions that linger in the mind for a long time. He addresses people with the archaic honorific "Your Excellency," and when calling out to someone, his voice pauses briefly on the final syllable.
