Maroon Hood

❝ *Give me caffeine.* ❞

**Maroon Hood** is the second child of Cerise Hood and younger twin of Akari Hood. He is a demigod who attends Ever After High. Since he is younger and Akari is signing the Storybook of Legends, they are automatically a Rebel and has no set destiny in store for him.

## Character

### Appearance

He is tall and pale due to being inside a lot. Maroon is a bit skinny, but don't let that fool you; they're a bloody great athlete. They have brown hair with white streaks that usually block his sight due to it being a bit too long. His eyes are like a calm swampy blue-grey ocean. He has half-wolf ears which he hides under his hood. Light freckles spread across on their face. When his wolfiness kicks in, his eyes change into a yellowy gold.

In terms on clothing, Maroon likes anything that's comfy. They also like layering stuff, like one time he wore three sweaters, plus a hoodie on top. I mean, what can I say? He gets cold easily. Also, in terms of colors, he likes muted and neutral tones. Sometimes, the only colorful thing they wear is his scarlet red hood, which hides his half-wolf ears.

His usual attire is a bit complicated to describe. Maroon wears something which looks like a crossover on a collared shirt and a poet shirt. Basically, someone started to sew a collar on a white poet shirt for aesthetic purposes. Their pants look like black jodhpurs. Are they actually jodhpurs? Who knows. There is this big brown belt thing that looks like a corset, but isn't really one. They have brown knee-high boots that has a bit of a platform. He has a hood-cape thing that fades from a cherry, cerise-y red to a maroon shade. (Hah, get it?)

### Personality

Maroon is a shy and awkward person. It usually takes a while for him to adjust to new people and new relationships. Even with that, they might malfunction randomly. I mean, he isn't a robot, but you know, *human malfunctioning*. Because of his dumb, awkward self, they usually stay quiet and wouldn't speak up that much. When you are a close friend of theirs, he is sweet but, still, awkward, though you'll see less of it when you're a very, very, very close friend of his. But the awkwardness will always be watching. And stalking. And acting. It's always there.

He sometimes is gullible while sometimes being suspicious of others. It usually just depends on their mood. When they wake up on the wrong side of bed, make sure to steer clear from his way. They'll just be very grumpy and secretive even if you're a close friend of his. I mean, he's generally secretive, but still.

Maroon is also strives to be the "perfect" individual. He is usually caught up on other people's standards so much that they doesn't look after himself. They're just really afraid to break the mold of what his family would like him to be. When he 'fails,' they would just shut himself inside, weep, and wonder why they aren't good enough. He takes about, uh, two days to do this process.

When you are friends with him, consider yourself lucky; they rarely tell people that they're his friend. I think. I don't know, I don't stalk them. He is usually sweet and caring when they feel comfortable with you. He might seem protective, but they just \*care\* about you.

As Count, his alter ego, he is more confident in himself. They figured that since no one really knows their actual identity, they could act as out-of-character as they want. Count is more flirty, open, and approachable than his usual civilian self. They also try to experiment when in superhero form. By experiment, I mean ***sexuality crisis***.

## Fairytale/Destiny

## Trivia

* He has *\*internalized homophobia\** because of his backstory.
* They like mugs, a lot.
* Maroon got his name because of a common theme in the Hood names. Red. Maroon is a shade of red.
* Maroon's middle name, Cameron, is there because the creator of Maroon searched them on Urban Dictionary. One of the definitions caught the creator's eye. Maroon: A Gay Cameron.
* His superhero name, Count, is that because his kwami is named Draccula. Count Dracula is a famous fictional vampire, probably the most famous vampire of all time. That is why his superhero name is Count.
