temper starts to come through in little ways when he's agitated, like it's clear he's getting mad if he starts moving more quickly or focusing his attention keenly
also important that he Does Not Reflect, pointedly. like he cares about interpersonal things to a degree but he will spend Zero time musing on morality because down that road lies ruin
it's important that he is preening often and emoting with just his eyes/eyebrows, that sort of thing. he shouldn't say anything that doesn't match Generally Softspoken But Burning With Anxiety Just Under the Surface
his posture is very good except when he's high. I try to keep in mind a really spoiled cat for a mental image, like he's either sitting upright with his paws perfectly aligned in front of him or he's completely head-to-toe sprawled across several pillows
my main thing to remember with Bene is that he cares a Lot about how he appears to other people and simultaneously is very used to not caring about that, so he's just kind of all over the place in the vibe he gives off
Mado I have to constantly remind myself is sort of twofold, he comes off as having zero emotional boundaries but is actually pretty circumspect about what he reveals about himself
the philosophy I hold in mind for him is pretty much 'give everything expect nothing', but being delighted if he receives affection in return and never resenting anyone otherwise
because he only reacts with his eyes and when he tries to talk he falls all over himself because he's so unsure of whether or not it's okay to say things
idk that htey all embody parts of me, I mean probably but if nothing else Barrow is how I prefer to relate to people and the world (sans Not Reflecting on Behavior), Mado is who I would have become if I were under my narcissist dad's thrall and didn't figure out boundaries, Teren is me when I'm mad about things,
