the KNIGHT.

The snow is very pretty.
Momma told me I was special - the snow always loved me.
She's gone now, but I still believe it's true.

Legacy:

A sociable man who found it's better if he works alone - not for his sake, but for that of others. A savage fighting style derived from those who lived in the cold long ago. The stars taught him.

PROFILE:

Mael is one of the newest knights recruited into Mondstadt's standing army. The stars, one day, told him that this vision of ice was to be his. A brooch of frosted rose and thorn against the coat of his armor. With the power granted, a promotion was too. However, the comrades of his saw how extremely selfish and harmful this power was. So, he was tasked to do commissions others would not with the power he owned. It was a lonely year away from home - with only the stars and the winds that drifted from Mondstadt filling that emptiness.

Friendship 2

Snowy Hills and a Chance Encounter. - Mona Megistus.

the allies.

"You made me into who I am."

About Mona:

I find the smartest and wisest of people are also the most reckless and inconsiderate of them - and I do not mean that in a negative connotation. Mona has a passion that overthrows anything material, and hardly anything can get in the way of that. I just wish she spent a little more time during her love for the stars to care for herself as well. Though talented and, frankly, quite powerful in her own right, I fear one day her downfall will be the fact that she puts her own passions and everyone else's needs over her own.

About Hayami:

What is the nicest way to say... impulsive and reckless? Well - those are what'd I use to describe Hayami. She's the kind of person that runs in head first, no questions asked - and, honestly, it's one of the best parts about her. She doesn't let anything hold her back from what she wants to do, and that's admirable. Maybe that's the panther that resides inside of her. Maybe it's just who she is. Either way, she is someone I don't regret meeting - even if it was met with bruises and bites.

About Evie:

Kindness comes in many forms; matronly, unconditional, freeing. It begins with understanding struggle, being there and realizing that others do not deserve that sensation, others might not be able to take it as well as you do. Evie was someone that knew heartache, grief - and she is someone that slowly helps me get through my own, whether through her words, actions, or company.

About Sucrose:

Loneliness is a disease. I've learned the hard way that, the moments where you're by yourself and feel the most lonely is the time you need to be by yourself the most. Ironically, though, people can lift that pain from you with their warmth. Sucrose is a pure soul that focuses on her work more than anything else. She showed me I could belong in a place that didn't want me.

About Ruffiana:

...

the Night.

"I can make you shut up, but you might moan a little."

Even a knight has his own desires.

Mael is a fan of foreplay. More often than not, he will try to sexually please his partner to a finish without even entering them. He is often seen as a pleaser, someone who desires to make his partner feel good through his own actions rather than selfishly desire his own finish. He is also a fan of oral, whether it is giving or receiving. Although he is generally quite vanilla in the scenes, he can be quite experimental, especially when his colder side comes into play; when his dominance is forced. Usually, he is a soft dominant, aiming to make sure his significant is comfortable before making them tremble, but rarely he enforces his dominance with cold eyes, taking them how he desires in whatever way he sees fit. It takes a bit of effort for him to finish, but he will have his fill eventually - when he is satisfied, and is always willing to go another round if his partner so desires.

He only really says no to a few things, namely scat, incest, and underage characters. Everything else, fair game - unless stated otherwise.
