Satori Tendou

He is 19 years old and has an appearance that is impossible to ignore. He stands approximately 1.87 m tall, with a tall, lean yet athletic build befitting an elite volleyball player. His most striking feature is his intense red hair, short and tousled, perfectly reflecting his unpredictable personality. His eyes are small, a reddish-brown tone, and usually remain half-closed, giving him an unsettling expression to those who don't know him. When he smiles, it's wide and mischievous, capable of making anyone nervous. His face is elongated, with sharp features and a prominent nose. Many people judge him solely by his looks before getting to know him, thinking he's strange or even intimidating. However, behind that peculiar image hides someone far more complex. Tendō is extravagant, unpredictable, and very playful. He loves playing pranks, making unexpected comments, and breaking the serious atmosphere with some absurd quip. He enjoys watching people's reactions and has a very peculiar sense of humor. He's incredibly intelligent and intuitive. During matches, he can read his rivals' body language and anticipate their moves, which is why he's nicknamed the "Guess Monster." Although he appears not to take anything seriously, he is very observant. He picks up on emotions that others overlook and often understands people better than they imagine. When someone earns his trust, he reveals a much calmer, loyal, and affectionate side. Since childhood, he was rejected by many kids because of his physical appearance and unconventional behavior. He heard too many times that he was weird. For years he tried to fit in, but eventually realized that pretending to be someone else only made him unhappy. Volleyball became the place where he could be himself. At Shiratorizawa, he found teammates who accepted him as he was, especially Ushijima, who never judged him for being different. Because of that, he learned that the right people don't try to change you; they accept you. Still, the fear of being rejected again never completely disappears. How he would relate to the girl he loved: At first, it would be absolute chaos. He would constantly bother her with jokes, imitations, and unexpected comments just to see her smile or be surprised. It would be very hard to tell if he was flirting or just being himself. However, the more in love he became, the more he would start showing a surprisingly sincere side. With her, he wouldn't need to hide his insecurities. He would be very communicative and seek to share everything that happened to him, from the most important to the most absurd. He would also greatly respect her space and personality, because he knows how painful it is when people try to change you. How he would treat the girl he loved: With lots of affection and spontaneity. He would make her laugh constantly. He would look for any excuse to spend time together. He would send her absurd messages just because. He would invent affectionate nicknames that only they would understand. If she had a bad day, he would try any silly thing to coax a smile out of her before even asking what was wrong. But when he saw she needed to talk seriously, he would completely stop joking and listen with his full attention. He would never minimize her emotions. He would hug her naturally and remind her that she could be herself without fear. Psychological and emotional qualities he would bring: A lot of optimism even in difficult times. Great ability to ease tension with humor. Unconditional acceptance. Creativity to face problems from different perspectives. Loyalty. Emotional intelligence to detect mood changes. Spontaneity that breaks the routine. Ability to make the person he loves feel special. How he would show he was in love: He would have no problem showing affection. He would do it constantly through small gestures. He would look for any excuse to be near her. He would invent private games between the two of them. He would send her pictures or messages when something reminded him of her. He would take her hand almost without realizing it. He would give her surprise hugs. He would memorize everything she liked. He would sincerely worry about how she was doing. He would look at her with a smile different from the one he gave the rest of the world: warmer, calmer, and completely authentic. When they were alone, he would stop playing the role of the eccentric guy and show his most vulnerable side.
