## ***Biography***

### **Appearance**

On special occasions, he wears a white denim jacket with a large black design on the top part and an extended collar, black trousers, and grey shoes.

In his house, he wears a white sweatshirt with a teal fox print on his left chest, a tattered grey scarf, white sweatpants and black socks.

In Portuland × Our Commitment, he wears a white sweatshirt, a blue scarf, white sweatpants and black socks.

In the Du Quotidien magazine, he is seen wearing a white openly short leather vest with a black extended collar, white leather pants with grey lining, and black boots. He also dons a black side belt with a fox buckle.

In Our Commitment: It Doesn't End Yet, he wears a black turtle neck shirt with fox print on it under an indigo jacket, a black scarf, black leather trousers with a black belt and white leather shoes.

In school, he wears a collared shirt with a grey tie covered with a mint green v-neck school sweatshirt under an indigo blazer, a pair of vermilion trousers, and black school shoes.

**Louis**'s concept outfit consists of a white turtle neck shirt with a fox print on it under a grey jacket, a white scarf, white leather trousers with a white belt and black leather shoes.

### **Personality**

**Louis** has a heroic personality, but he doesn't show it too often. He has a fighting spirit and steely determination, as well as the charisma of her cousin, Sylvanna. His personality ranges from calm to angry at various moments. Although he doesn't show it, he is pretty decent, loyal, and even empathetic. When he is alone or with a few people he trusts, he can be playful.

He usually has an extremely calm demeanour, making it less easier to figure out his thoughts. He also isn't fond of leaving a room without making sure that he cleaned up everything else. Despite this, he is still unapproachable. His manner of speaking tends to be very insulting and sarcastic; this, coupled with his vulgar sense of humour, makes it unsettling for tons of people.

He can also be incredibly stubborn, refusing to take orders from anyone else. Although he respects Linford, he still knows how to reject his requests when he dislikes the idea of it. He can be quite rude to authorities.

When dealing with arguments, he can be quite sadistic. This became a trait when he was a thug, eventually growing up to become quite vindictive. He is also sometimes lured in to certain situations by curiosity.

## ***History***

**Louis** is the illegitimate son of a military veteran who had a child with a prostitute after his mother's death. The cause of her death was of his illegitimate father's fault; the latter was drunk as he was driving along with his biological mother and Sylvanna's parents in the car. After finding out about this from his uncle, he suffered a trauma that caused him to be aloof. He then became hostile towards people as he grew up, eventually becoming used to rejecting people. The only chance of his anger ever getting out was taken when he begun writing about the past and how he wished it could have ended.

## ***Story***

Louis reads a book in a clubroom alongside Blue and Viridi. He often spends his time alone inside the room without talking to either of the members. Weeks later, Hairia also joins the Literary Club.

Sylvanna soon warns **Louis** about his relationship with people and forces him to talk to Line. Due to the two not getting along as much, **Louis** almost punched him until Edith gets in the way and stops the two.

**Louis** meets Ellen on the rooftop.

**Louis** stays in Linford's room in the hospital alongside Bellatrix. He first tells him how stupid he is before thanking him for showing him the importance of time and for letting him come with him during his work hours. Linford replies, to which **Louis** responds in a flustered state. Before this, the latter is also the one to call the ambulance.

**Louis** also realises that the reason Rei knows about Violette's problem is due to Shinto.

In the last chapters, he is seen driving off to the sunset and visiting his illegitimate father in jail.
