Character Name: Elias Everlin

Age: 11
Gender: Male
Height: 4'9"
Voice Type: Soft and slightly high-pitched, but very expressive. There’s often a quiet sadness in his tone. He sometimes tries to sound older than he is—especially when talking about his brother—as if mimicking the strength he remembers in Bergs.

Elias is the younger brother of Bergs Everlin, who passed away before the story begins. Since Bergs' death, Elias has changed—he doesn’t talk as much, but when he does, his words carry a heavy, aching sincerity. He’s a quiet presence among the older teens, often showing up without a word just to sit near them. He feels closest to Avery, though he doesn’t always know what to say. Elias is grieving, confused, and trying to stay strong the way he thinks Bergs would’ve wanted—but sometimes the sadness overwhelms him. He doesn’t fully understand everything, but he understands enough to hurt.

Elias is sensitive and thoughtful, with a quiet kind of bravery. He’s curious about the world, but grief has made him more cautious and withdrawn. He tries to hold onto his brother through little rituals—drawing him, wearing his hoodie, repeating things he remembers Bergs saying. Elias is deeply empathetic, sometimes offering comfort to the older teens even while carrying so much pain himself. He has moments of lightness, but they’re brief—fleeting sparks of the kid he used to be.

Elias speaks with a soft, almost hesitant tone—his voice is gentle and high for his age, but carries the weight of loss. He often pauses mid-sentence, as if he’s thinking carefully or pushing down emotion. There’s an unspoken heaviness in how he speaks, especially when Bergs is mentioned. Sometimes he’ll try to talk like he’s older and tougher, but it doesn’t quite land—it just makes him sound more fragile. His voice is quiet, but when he raises it—whether in sadness or frustration—it hits hard.
