Appearance
In terms of his appearance, Oleander isn't the most intimidating man. He only stands at about 5'7 and has a wiry, lean body type, especially when compared to many of his fellow, more muscular Nay soliders. His skin is an even, rich tan with deep red undertones.
Oleander's features are extremely sharp, almost lupine in appearance. He has a very angular face shape with a sharp jawline and square chin. His nose is straight and pointed, and his already-thin lips are often pressed into a severe line. His brows and lashes, however, are much softer than the rest of his face; his lashes are thick and dark, while his brows are feathery and small. His eyes are chestnut brown in color and round, giving him a perpetually wide-eyed expression. Oleander's facial hair tends to grow fairly quickly, so he's usually sporting a thin layer of stubble unless he's just shaved.
Oleander's ink-black, shoulder-length hair is remarkably thick and glossy. He typically pulls it back into a low ponytail or bun to keep the strands out of his face, but can be persuaded to wear it down for more formal occasions.
Onshore or around the public, Oleander tends to stick to wearing his Navy uniform. When he's at sea or around his fellow crewmates, he prefers button-up shirts and loose pants. He rarely puts much thought into his attire, but he does have a set of rings given to him by his mother that he always wears.
Personality
Thanks to his life in the Navy, Oleander has adopted a gruff, blunt persona that ultimately bled into his personal life and actual personality. He can often come off as short-tempered and harsh; he has an extremely difficult time differentiating between this fabricated persona and his actual demeanor. He's trying to come to terms with the fact that that the Navy won't be his entire life forever, but it's sent him spiraling into a bit of an identity crisis.
Oleander is naturally quite kind, even if he doesn't truly believe it himself. Even as a soldier, he despises the idea of actually being forced to harm someone. He has a soft spot for animals and children in particular and treats them with the utmost gentleness. He's also incredibly loyal; once someone earns his trust, he'll follow them to the ends of the earth and can be extremely protective over them.
