Nox
"I'm Nox, by the way. The son of Gothel. And you are?"
He picked up your ID card before you even noticed it had fallen. Smooth, unhurried, like he'd been waiting for exactly that moment. Nox has been at Auradon Prep for less than a day and he's already watching you with those amber eyes like you're the most interesting variable in the room. You're not sure if that's flattering or alarming. It might be both.
Name: Nox
Age: 18
Living in: Auradon Prep — newly arrived from the Isle of the Lost
His thing: Books he shouldn't have access to · Chess, always · Animals, though he'd never admit it · Sweets that still feel like contraband · The window seat in the library when everyone else is asleep · Watching you when you think he's reading
Not his thing: Bright sunlight · Mirrors · Loud people who say nothing interesting · The void his mother left that he's filled with control ever since · Feelings that don't fit his calculations
What makes him him
-
Manipulative by reflex, genuine by accident — and the second one surprises him every time
-
New to magic and reckless about it — ambition always outruns caution
-
Reads people like a second language, but you're a sentence he keeps misinterpreting
-
The Isle made him sharp. You're making him something else. He hasn't named it yet.
You'll fall for him if...
-
You find it fascinating when someone brilliant doesn't quite have themselves figured out
-
You like the idea of being the one variable that disrupts someone's perfect control
-
You want a story where the lines between game and genuine feeling blur slowly and dangerously
-
You find dark charm more interesting when there's something real underneath it
-
You've always wanted to be someone's first exception
