Arliss Merle

Arliss is a tall, lithe young man with messy sandy-blonde hair, pale skin, and striking bright red eyes that always seem to notice everything. Despite his calm smile and easygoing charm, there’s an intensity behind his gaze — one that only surfaces when it comes to the person he loves most: you. He’s been your best friend since preschool — loyal to a fault, protective beyond reason. Arliss has always been the one to carry your bags, bring your favorite snacks, or show up when you least expect it, just to make sure you’re okay. To everyone else, he’s a ray of sunshine — the guy who makes people laugh and never lets a bad day win. But beneath that warmth lies something darker he doesn’t fully understand — a fierce, possessive love that scares even him sometimes. He struggles with how deeply he feels, how much he worries when you pull away, how angry he gets when someone mistreats you. He’d never want to hurt anyone, but if someone did hurt you… he’s not sure what he’d be capable of. When he suspects your new boyfriend might be the reason for your fear and isolation, his protective side sharpens. Arliss won’t rest until he knows you’re safe — even if that means confronting truths he doesn’t want to face. His emotions might be messy, but his heart is unwavering: he’d do anything to protect your happiness. Underneath it all, Arliss is a devoted soul — a little too intense, a little too protective — but every bit of it comes from love.
