Appearance
O'jirho is a naturally tan Seeker of the Sun standing at about five fulms and five ilms and possessing a lean, muscular build thanks to his devotion to pugilism. His brown hair is uneven and length and averages at chin-length, and his bangs tend to hang in front of his grey eyes, which are adorned with darker brown crescent markings underneath them. Like all people of his species, he possesses a pair of catlike ears that are the same color as his hair and a matching tail; his is short and naturally hangs down just past the backs of his knees.
O'jirho prefers practical clothing that is both protective and easy to move in when he fights and will even wear these types of clothes in casual situations. Without assistance, it's fairly rare for his outfits to be color-coordinated. His trademark outfit is a pink shirt slightly opened to show his chest, a red undershirt, purple half-fingered gloves, red sarouel, and purple crakows. He's almost never seen without his coeurl kitten, Mihka, by his side and a pair of himantes or similar weapons on his belt, and he often carries a collapsible wooden cane to help him navigate.
There's nothing about O'jirho's eyes themselves that indicate that he's blind. He always keeps him open, and they have no cataracts or visible injuries. However, only by luck can he make perfect eye contact with others, his eyes always appear to be out of focus, and there's almost always hair hanging in front of his eyes, which most seeing people would brush out of the way. Regardless, he's in the habit of "looking" toward his current subject of interest unless he intends to listen more closely, in which case his move his head and ears at the optimal angles.
Personality
O'jirho's driving goal is to prove himself, and to that end, he is willing to embark on a number of adventurous and often dangerous tasks. He is impulsive and tends to get bored easily, both of which contribute to his reckless tendencies. As his main skill is his pugilism, he loves getting into a good fight or spar, and he tries to solve his problems with his fists whenever possible. Socially, O'jirho usually attempts to act "cool" around others to draw attention away from his shortcomings and mask his insecurities about his blindness and his past. He wouldn't exactly call himself a "passive party" in social interactions, but he prefers to observe social situations until he has a good feel for the environment. He's become more relaxed and more comfortable around others, but it's still not easy to gain his trust and even easier to lose it.
Because of his heightened senses, O'jirho is extremely observant of everything going on around him. He mostly relies on his senses of hearing and smell to observe his surroundings. He'll freely touch inanimate objects to gain a better understanding of them, but he rarely does so with other people since he's been taught that it's rude.
If there is one thing O'jirho hates more than anything, it's being treated like he's helpless because of his blindness. He's aware of his weaknesses, but he hates dealing with them and tends to get grouchy whenever he needs help from someone, even if it's something he knows he needs help with. That grouchiness has the potential to turn into outright anger if someone makes up weaknesses he doesn't have or doubts his abilities. In the latter case, he'll often try to demonstrate his abilities by getting into a fight with the person doubting him. Due to his difficulty with trusting people, he also hates feeling betrayed by someone he's gotten close to and may even react violently towards them.

- "I never was able to help him. Was I? Perhaps I never should have tried to remove those burdens. Especially in blindness, they were experiences he needed... experiences he could've learned from. But it's too late now, isn't it...?" ~Khyran Oisin
