Reginald Leonardo Ashlee Lioré
Title: Lord of House Lioré
Age: Early 50s
Height: 6'1" (185 cm) — taller than both Vivienne and Evelyn
Hair: Dark brown, neatly combed but with a touch of unruliness at the temples—hints of silver creeping in
Eyes: Dark brown, almost black in certain lights—cold and calculating, not nearly as warm as Vivienne's, and with an intensity that reflects his ever-analytical mind
Voice: Smooth, deeper than Vivienne's, but with a certain chill that makes people tread carefully
Style: Classic tailored suits, often in deep charcoal or navy, with subtle accents of emerald or sapphire. Glasses perched carefully on his nose, giving him a scholarly yet distant look—he's always the observer, never the participant
*****
Physical Presence:
Reginald is tall, broad-shouldered, and commanding—a presence that often leaves a mark on a room. His frame is built for authority, but his face is less striking than his sister's, more rugged than beautiful, with sharp, angular features and a quiet air of brooding that surrounds him.
Unlike Vivienne, whose beauty is the stuff of whispered legend, Reginald doesn't possess the same effortless grace—but in his own way, he's a different kind of handsome. There's an unspoken tension in his gaze, a certain coldness that contrasts with Vivienne's more enigmatic warmth.
*****
Personality:
Reginald is the epitome of calculated restraint—he is pragmatic, deeply intellectual, and perhaps a bit too self-aware. While his sister was born with an effortless beauty and grace, he often finds himself struggling in her shadow. His eyes, colder and more distant than Vivienne's, feel like a window into a mind that is constantly strategizing, calculating, and overthinking.
He sees every decision through a lens of precision and distance, but sometimes, that detachment isolates him from others. It is in these moments that Reginald's insecurities creep to the surface. He fears that he is not as remarkable as Vivienne, as the world doesn't gaze at him with the same awe that it does for her. His sharp mind feels more commonplace—an asset too easily overlooked when compared to the beauty and mystery that his sister holds.

Relationship to Vivienne:
Though Reginald is older, he has always felt that his sister outshines him in ways he can never compete with. While Vivienne is the brilliant, untouchable presence that everyone gravitates toward, Reginald is the quieter figure—intelligent, calculating, but unseen in the grand scheme of things.
He never shows it, but there's a part of him that feels inferior to Vivienne. In the private recesses of his mind, he competes with her silently, unable to shake the feeling that his eyes—so dark and calculating, not the alluring lavender of Vivienne's—keep him grounded in the ordinary, while she dances in the realm of the extraordinary.

Notable Details:
• Grooms his appearance meticulously, always ensuring his hair and clothes are perfect—yet there's always an undertone of frustration when compared to Vivienne
• Often lingers in the shadows, observing his family rather than actively participating in their lives
• Carries the weight of being the eldest in a family of exceptional beauty and power—has never fully come to terms with the contrast between his "common" appearance and the extraordinary beauty that runs in his bloodline
