Description
A small, frail eight-year-old boy with white skin, thick, straight black hair falling to his shoulders, a prominent forehead, a large mouth, and thin, slightly pink lips. His lively expression carries a mischievous, capricious quality and appears older than his age. In chapter 110 his body is cold, rigid, and lifeless.
