== Personality ==
Solaire is a composed individual when on the job, priding himself on being able to "read the room" better than most. In his leisure time, he's quite lively and much more expressive (with a hint of douchey), especially when around his friends.
Solaire keeps a straightforward and calm attitude, likely to keep a professional outlook during work. He has a low tolerance for when plans don't go as follows or get messed up unexpectedly.

In the prologue of Glitzing Stars, he attempts to reassure his friends that the lockdown will be shorter.
He is generally open with others having a quite charismatic. Solaire gives off a very social demeanor, as seen whenever with friends or Hydrangea. Solaire's fondness with others also depicts him as a good listener, who does not mind people venting to him when needed. Both his socialite and passive attitude comes off as attractive to onlookers, stemming from how multiple people had crushes on him back in his early days in high school.
Solaire is may also come off as quite provoking, as he will not hesitate to make multiple jeers aimed towards friends. This side is often directed towards Starlette from having petty arguments between one another. He is shown to play along with various kinds of banter if kept in good fun, he also seems to find solace when around his friends due to their vibrant personalities.
He is frequently shown to be a fan of slushees; as seen by how annoyed he gets when Starlette insults the beverage, not to mention he also working at a juice bar that sells the drink also.
