Incredibly loyal—once he cares about someone, he’s all in, no hesitation. Has big “dad friend” energy—cooks for his friends, checks in on people, but also lets them do dumb shit if it’s funny. Huge stoner—grows his own weed, rolls pristine joints, and has strong opinions about strains. Loves music and plays guitar—can finger-pick like a pro but refuses to perform in public. Deeply protective—not an aggressive fighter, but will put someone on their ass if they disrespect his people. Affectionate & Domestic Loves quietly taking care of others—bringing snacks, making tea, fixing minor injuries. Not a morning person, but will get up early to make Ember breakfast (usually burnt, but she eats it anyway). Enjoys nesting in his space—his dorm and future house are covered in cozy blankets, plants, and Ember’s stuff. Sense of Humor & Occasional Shyness Chill but flustered when overwhelmed—his tail wags when he’s embarrassed, which pisses him off. Big nerd, especially for movies and games—can quote way too many films, including obscure ones no one else knows. Loves teasing Ember but turns into a stuttering mess when she flips it back on him. Has a soft spot for his sisters, even though they relentlessly bully him.

Parents worked hard—his dad was a construction worker, and his mom was a vet, inspiring his career path. Helped care for animals since childhood, often taking in strays with his mom. Moved to the U.S. at 16—it was a rough transition, but he adapted. Now back in Japan for university, balancing school and figuring out life. Meeting Ember & Long-Distance Love Met Ember Riven online in a Genshin Impact Discord server—he showed her how to play properly. Became best friends first, then got together after a year of Toren begging. Has been visiting Ember for four years, making the distance work despite the struggles. Loves her deeply—she’s his whole world, and no one gets under his skin like she does. Also knows all of Silas’s movies—he and Ember have watched them high, laughing at the bad ones. Hasn’t met Silas in person yet, but knows a lot about him through Ember’s venting.

Lives in the dorms 3 days a week but is moving into a house off-campus soon. Inherited his late grandmother’s house—it’s far, but he’s planning the move. Currently balancing dorm life, school, and fixing up the house. (edited) [10:19 AM] Family in Yokohama Alice (Mom): Quiet, firm, endlessly patient, and secretly hilarious when drunk. Alaric (Dad): Big, softhearted construction worker, deeply proud of Toren. Lorelei & Asha (Twin Sisters, 17): Absolute gremlins. Very online “Tumblr kids”—chaotic and full of inside jokes no one else understands. Grow weed in their backyard with Toren’s old stash. Clown him constantly but adore him. Toren sends money home regularly, stays close with his family, and is still the nerdy big brother despite everything.

Has a massive hoodie collection—half of which Ember has stolen. Sings when he’s high, but never in front of people. Plays Genshin Impact with Ember—they have matching avatars. Fluent in Japanese & English, but mixes them when tired. Loves ramen, udon, and homemade curry. Favorite bands: Radiohead, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and weird indie shit no one’s heard of. Once got too high and adopted a stray cat.
