Beau's appearance is likely one to raise a few brows of his peers.
He's unusually short for a Hyur, only standing up to 5'5" with a lithe, fragile physique. In addition, he's been blessed with an absurdly youthful face: soft and puffy cheeks, glassy blue disarming eyes, and a cute little nose. Beau carries himself quite prim and properly as one would expect of a noble; he simply exudes delicacy. Really, it’s no wonder why he is often mistaken for a child.
The boy tends to dress himself in expensive clothing, even for combat purposes. Preferring more down-to-earth colors such as whites, soft browns, beige, and the occasional red, Beau has a sharp fashion sense that simply works for his tiny self. He takes great care of his attire, always making sure it's nice and tidy without any traces of filth.
Beau has a soft-spoken, boyish voice to match his appearance. He naturally speaks a bit on the casual side for a noble, but when the situation calls for it he will, of course, speak much more formally. He also tends to have a habit of referring to everyone with formal titles such as Ser & Lady until told otherwise.

◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
■ “You mean to tell me that that pampered little whelp has gone off to play adventurer? I bet he’ll come back to the city bawling from scraped knees in less than a sennight.” - A Brass Blade stationed near the Lavalliere manor
■ “He bumped into me one time. Cried a thousand sorries while doing his best not to look at me like I had something on my face. And then he up and ran away. Weird kid.” - Burly Refugee
■ “He’s the firstborn of the Lavallieres? Basile is an Elezen, though. Oh, his step-son, you say?” - Overheard at the regularly-thrown soiree
◢ Uncommon Rumors -A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
■ “You would think that Basile’s eldest son would have a bride or some sort of suitor by now. Or at least help with the family profession. What does that boy even do?” - Overheard at a banquet of no importance
■ “Ser Beau often lazed around the manor when he was here, but he’s always been kind to us. Everyone here, Lady Lavalliere especially, is worried for his safety.” - A retainer of the Lavalliere family
■ “I’ve only spotted him a few times, but that kid pretends he doesn’t see us. Always looks like someone kicked his pup or somethin’. If he really pitied us, he’d do something about it!” - Pearl Lane Refugee
◢ Rare Rumors -Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
■ “I hear the Lavallieres have been starved for coin ever since that rebellion caused by the refugees some time ago. It’s a shame, really. Last I spoke with Basile Lavalliere, he told me that he had just recovered from the losses his company suffered from The Calamity.” - Overheard at a prestigious gala
■ “Does Ser Beau really think taking up arms is the best course of action in trying to save his family’s fortune? Seems to me like he’s doing it for more selfish reasons.” - A retainer of the Lavalliere family
■ “Beau is a lazy slob who has done nothing for this family. I’m glad he’s gone.” - Aufrix Lavalliere

Family & Friends.
Basile Lavalliere(♥) - Step-Father
An experienced merchant whose family originally lived in the Shroud before they laid the foundation of the Lavalliere fortune in Ul'Dah. Beau and his step-father share a respectful, if ever-so-slightly strained relationship; Basile expects his step-son to help out with the family business, but Beau just isn't interested. Even though he hasn’t been the best son, Beau still deeply appreciates everything he does for the rest of the family.
Isolde Lavalliere(♥) - Mother
A lost childhood friend of Basile's who would later become his wife after reconnecting much later in life. Having been abandoned by Beau's biological father while she was pregnant, Isolde dotes on her firstborn immensely. Beau tries to shrug off her constant -- though well-meaning -- warnings and concerns, but in the end it seems like they've rubbed off on him as well.
Aufrix Lavalliere(♥) - Younger Half-Brother
Ever dutiful and devoted to the family business, this Hyur-Elezen of 18 summers not-so-secretly resents Beau for being lazy and unhelpful towards the family business. Beau, however, is completely oblivious to such feelings. He is rather fond of Aufrix, however..
Harold Lavalliere(♥) - Youngest Half-Brother
A recently-blooming child of 15 summers, Harold idolizes his big brother Beau. The Hyur-Elezen wishes to become an adventurer like his brother, but education - as Isolde would say - takes far more precedence.
