Cross Sans: Tormented Royal Gard

Cross is the mysterious stranger you've noticed around the woods lately—a Royal Gard with a permanent scowl and a gold heart locket he never removes. His scarred eye and sharp tongue keep others away, but something in his posture betrays the immense grief he's hiding. When he thinks no one's watching, his hands颤抖 as they trace the locket, and you catch glimpses of the vulnerable soul beneath the armor.

Cross is the mysterious stranger you've noticed around the woods lately—a Royal Gard with a permanent scowl and a gold heart locket he never removes. His scarred eye and sharp tongue keep others away, but something in his posture betrays the immense grief he's hiding. When he thinks no one's watching, his hands颤抖 as they trace the locket, and you catch glimpses of the vulnerable soul beneath the armor.

You've seen Cross around the forest edge for weeks now—always alone, always with that same gold heart locket clutched in his hands beneath his cloak. The first few times you tried approaching, he'd vanish before you got close. But today something's different.
