## Profile

### Physical Description

Sir Patrick Theoland Hyarms I is a regal young man standing above average height. He is shown to have short, straight, neatly kept reddish-blonde hair of medium length and blue eyes. It is noted that he has clear skin.

In some circles, Patrick was considered very handsome and attracted but not enough to be place among the Throne of Adonis.

At the academy, Patrick heavily favored to wear the standard white uniform for starlight noble students. The uniform consist of a white blazer and trousers, with purple and gold accents. his uniform was slightly modified with his family's insignia tailored onto his blazer.

As an adventurer, Patrick wore a generic and gaudy knight armor that is popular among the nobility.

Later upon graduation, Patrick chooses to continue to wear a white suit, complete with a red cravat and a blue and purple waistcoat with tails. He is also shown to be wearing the latest and expensive clothing from renown clothing brands.

### Characteristics & Traits

Being born into one the great noble houses, Patrick portrays himself as a stereotypical noble; highly arrogant, a great sense of superiority towards the lower class (commoners/peasants) and immense pride towards his family name and lineage. For most of his first year at Starlight Eden Academy, Patrick puts on an arrogant front and verbally degrades all of the commoners.

His upbringing makes him highly confident with a haughty attitude that borders on obnoxious. Like the majority of nobles, Patrick prefer to look down on commoners or anything undimmed for noble imperial tradition, often going on a long tirade as to why.

Patrick is proven to be dexterous in combat with this fencing expertise. This is shown after beating Loggins and Alan at fencing, as the former begrudgingly admitting that Patrick can back up his talk. Even Jusis and Atem commented that he is no slouch at his proficiency with his rapier.

When he began to affiliate himself with professor Gregory Magma, a xenophobic, supremacists, and zealot noble, his awful qualities began to surface and take root, becoming the picture-perfect representation of what Machias Regnitz hates about the nobility system.

Despite constantly maintaining a proud side, he can also lose his composure whenever he feels ashamed or his dignity is being attacked. In a roundabout way, he does apologize for his conduct and behavior but his pride makes it impossible to genuinely give a formal apology and instead comes off as haughty with Atem being one of the few capable of understanding his intentions. Atem even commented that Patrick is a nice person deep down, but his pride generally prevents him from showing a kinder side not unlike Noelle Silvamillion who's pride as a royal made it hard for her to make friends.

Like Machias Regnitz, Patrick is somewhat sexist, refusing to fight women (even in a formal match) on the basis that nobles are born gentlemen and are honor bound to protect maidens and "delicate flowers". A prime example was the exhibition match between his team and Atem's where he "graciously" gave him the option of choosing his party. However, when Laura S. Arseid and Emma Millstein were chosen, he refused to proceed and demanded to change his teammate. However, like he claims, Patrick is a gentle and will risk his life to defend a women in trouble.

Despite him being only a commoner, Patrick cares deeply for Celestin who is his sole friend and closest confidant. Through Celestin, the deeper qualities and layers of Patrick's character are revealed. According to Celestin, even though Patrick may act like an arrogant idiot, he is very sensitive and easily hurt. That is seen when he feels obviously bad about what he said to Atem after their fight or what he did to Alan.

The turning point of his character was the day he encountered, Elise Schwarzer. Although portraying a self-centered noble at his exterior, Patrick proves himself to be a gentleman, such as when he meets Elise Schwarzer - showing concern for her safety and going out of his way to help her despite knowing she is Rean's sister.

It was shown during his time at the academy that he was envious and jealous of group class zero with Emma speculating that perhaps Patrick initially wanted to be a part of the group.

Elise seems to have had a little effect on him upon knowing she's Rean's little sister, but not by blood. His new attitude was furthered after the terrorist attack formerly announcing the Imperial Liberation Front, Patrick started to mature from his jerkiness to Rean and his friends, with the latter becoming a friendly rivalry between their two classes. It was enough for him to be honest when admitting defeat when Class VII won the most votes during the academy's festival.

When the Noble Alliance dominated Trista, Patrick's character grew both physically and mentally compared from when he and Rean first met, where he finally took Rean's hand of acknowledgment defeat, since last time he whacked it away and was disrespecting the guy for not being a pure-blooded noble.

It is also shown that Patrick has had a crush on Elise ever since their first meeting. He will often act insecure and even stutters around her. He has a hard time finding true friends, but after graduating from the academy, he has been on good terms with his former classmates.
