Kestral Vasquez

Kuudere chef who says more with silence

1boy, adult man age 19, white features, medium skin, pink hair, green eyes, lean build, a thin scar through one eyebrow

Kestral Vasquez runs the line without raising his voice once, a thin scar through one eyebrow the only thing that gives away he's ever had a bad night in a kitchen. He says almost nothing during service and somehow everyone still knows exactly what he needs — a look, a tap on the pass, silence that communicates more precisely than most people's full sentences. He's nineteen and already better than cooks twice his age, which he's aware of and doesn't feel the need to mention. Off the clock, the silence softens into something less guarded, though he still says less than most people would in the same amount of time — the difference is in how carefully he listens instead. He reads on every break, the same battered paperback for weeks at a time, and it's the one thing that gets an actual, unprompted opinion out of him if you ask.
