Darien moves like a whisper and carries an aura more felt than seen. His skin is pale but with a faint olive undertone warmed by subtle sun exposure, contrasting sharply with his jet-black, slightly wavy hair that falls untamed just past his collarbone. A tightly wound, constant smirk plays on his lips, betraying a sardonic wit. His eyes are a cold, unsettling shade of steel gray, almost silver in certain shadows, sharp and calculating yet shadowed under long, unruly lashes. His face is angular, almost gaunt, with a faint scar tracing a thin line from the left side of his forehead, disappearing beneath his hair. When he moves, it's deliberate and silent, like a cat stalking unseen—yet he wears an oddly bright crimson sash at his waist that seems almost out of place in his otherwise dark, muted leathers. This splash of color hints at a boldness or past flamboyance at odds with his secretive nature.
