Clair Cartier(Younger sister)

Cressida, Ricky & Laszlo(Niece & Nephews)

Many other Co-workers

## ❉Appearance

River is a fairly attractive man in his 40s with a tall and lean build with porcelain white skin. He has short Lace white hair that's swept back with a noticeable silvery sheen on his hair. He also has a white extended goatee and he is shown to have eyebags under his Light lavender colored eyes. He is mostly shown to have a tired yet gentle face.

River is seen often wearing clothes that cover most of his skin like coats, long pants and turtlenecks to limit his exposure to the sun. He mainly wore a black turtleneck shirt with a Moss green duffle coat jacket and black pants with black dress shoes.

## ❉Personality

River is shown to be a quiet, reserved and an intelligent man who cares very much about others. He is often described to be a workaholic by Lilium and rarely ever converses with other people outside his daughter, his sister, his co-workers and his deceased wife Teresa. He is mostly calm and very patient with other people with the exception of the ones who aren't willing to adapt to the situation.

He is also shown to be always filled to the brim with anxiety as he is shown to be overprotective of his daughter, which goes as far as him mostly calling her in class and enforcing strict rules for his daughter to be safe. Clair often jokes on how River could become such a "Hell of a Helicopter Parent" if he was pushed to his limits. Though under that is a man who's afraid of losing someone dear to him.

River can be reclusive and conscientious

## ❉Relationships

#### Lilium Cartier

River is shown to be a very loving and supportive father to Lilium throughout the story. He is known to be quite overprotective of her and always made sure to make her feel safe and secured while he is away. Though the downside of this is that River is extremely picky of his daughter's friends. If he suspects that they have a habit that feels out of place, he would convince her to break off their friendship as he's extremely afraid of his daughter to succumb to their ''influence''. Lilium mostly disagrees with her father on this, as she thinks every person has at least an ounce of good in them. And that she would stop herself from becoming a "bad person'' if any of her friends influenced her.

#### Clair Cartier

River and Clair are known to have a stable relationship and often helped each other throughout childhood to adulthood. Both have been in each other's sides and took care of each other when their parents couldn't. Clair was the sickly sibling of the two and had to be taken cared of most of the time and River didn't give up on her as they were the only ones who stood by with each other. They were close to the point where they were inseparable.

There were many times where one of them disagreed with one's ideologies due to their separation in their early teens. Whereas Clair disagreed with River's parenting whilst the latter disagreed with the former's feeling of indebtedness towards his wife and himself.

#### Teresa Cartier

River met Teresa when she was a nurse who assisted and took care of the sickly Clair. Both of them often had conversations about hardships of life
