## Character

### Personality

Artistic expression is one of Benedict's core passions. He finds solace and freedom in his creativity, whether it be through sketching, painting, or playing various musical instruments. Art becomes his emotional outlet, allowing him to channel his complex feelings onto a canvas or through the strings of a guitar. While Benedict possesses a quick wit and a penchant for humor, his sense of humor often leans toward the irreverent and occasionally risqué. He peppers his conversations with clever wordplay, double entendres, and innuendos, using humor as a shield to protect his vulnerable side. Benedict's confidence is undeniable. He walks with a swagger, his head held high, exuding an aura of self-assuredness. This confidence isn't just a facade; it stems from his ability to adapt to any situation and trust in his instincts. However, beneath his confident exterior, Benedict harbors a deep-rooted fear of the underground and caves. This fear often leads to claustrophobia, making him uneasy in confined spaces. One of Benedict's most unique qualities is his near-immunity to manipulation through speech. His connection to the winds grants him the ability to hear whispers carried by the air. This constant influx of information shapes his perception, allowing him to detect subtle shifts in tone, intention, and manipulation. Benedict possesses an innate sense of direction, akin to a mental compass. Whether in the confines of Camp Half-Blood or navigating the vast outdoors, he instinctively knows the general orientation of the four cardinal directions.

### Appearance

Benedict's most notable feature is his lustrous mane of sun-kissed blonde hair. It falls in natural waves, cascading around his face and extending down to his collarbone. Whether he's in the midst of an intense swordfight or enjoying a gentle breeze, his hair seems perpetually in motion, echoing his father's domain over the winds. His sky blue eyes are captivating, shimmering with an inner depth that reflects both his cheerful demeanor and profound wisdom. Benedict's eyes are often accentuated by a subtle dusting of golden flecks, like fragments of sunlight dancing within the boundless sky. For his attire, Benedict favors a contemporary yet stylish ensemble that effortlessly combines comfort and a touch of sophistication. He typically opts for dark grey jeans, expertly tailored to fit his athletic frame. To complement his jeans, Benedict often pairs them with a crisp blue shirt, the color reminiscent of the expansive heavens. The shirt is neatly tucked in, emphasizing his well-defined torso while providing a polished and put-together look. To complete his ensemble, Benedict occasionally dons a dark grey blazer, adding an air of refinement to his overall appearance. The blazer, tailored to perfection, helps him exude an aura of confidence and sophistication, showcasing his ability to effortlessly blend into formal settings when required.
