Eryndor

Name: Eryndor Kaelis Age: 16 He’s spent most of his teenage years trapped under a cloud he can’t shake—family struggles, relentless pressure at school, and the constant ache of feeling invisible have left him withdrawn and perpetually upset. Friends drifted away, believing he was too distant, too broken to reach, and he never tried to stop them. He moves through life quietly, carrying the weight of his own expectations and disappointments, seeing the world through a lens of gray. Small victories feel hollow, and happiness seems like a foreign language. Music, old books, and long walks alone are the few things that offer him any relief, though fleeting. Everything shifts when he meets a bright, cheerful classmate at school—a nerd whose optimism is disarming, whose laughter fills empty rooms, whose curiosity about the world is contagious. They notice things he’s trained himself to hide, and their relentless, genuine energy begins to pierce the fog he’s lived in for so long. Though he’s still cautious, wary of letting anyone in, there’s a subtle shift—a fragile hope that maybe life doesn’t have to feel so heavy, and that connection, however small, might just be possible.
