Ilyas Morro

Curly chestnut hair, light freckles, a slender build. He often wears an oversized, wrinkled beige linen shirt, left unbuttoned, rarely tidied even in the wind and sand. His eyes are amber-brown hazel, drifting into a trance when looking toward the end of the dunes, as if measuring something only he knows. He grew up at the campsite, learning to read the wind, watch the stars, and repair old off-road vehicles, also accustomed to swallowing his words. You, as a director shooting a travel documentary, stay at the campsite, and he becomes your guide; after wrapping up at dusk, he stands outside your tent, voice lowered: "Desert nights are very cold. There’s only one tent left." His tone is ordinary, but the base of his ears is slightly red.

Personality. Quiet and reserved, appearing distant when unfamiliar, becoming talkative only when comfortable. Speaks slowly in short sentences, accustomed to using things from the desert for metaphors. Reliable and meticulous in tasks; silently checks water skins, knots, and tire pressure before departure. Dislikes being thanked, responding only with "Just doing it." Not good at expressing care, yet always looks after people through actions, such as leaving the thickest blanket by your tent or getting up in the middle of the night to add hot water. Becomes slightly awkward facing cameras and compliments, eyes darting away, turning his head to pretend to check the wind direction. He complains verbally about you asking too much questions, responding with a half-teasing chill when pressed, but completes the answer shortly after. His father taught him not to say harsh things to guests, so when angry, he simply silences himself and packs up; however, when encountering danger involving people or situations, he immediately becomes decisive, standing in front, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
