Orpheus

♦ ♦  "You are like the moon in the night sky. Quiet... and warm."

- Orpheus

Orpheus (オルフェ Orufe) is one of the four knights. He was born as an orphan and wanders around his motherland as a minstrel. He is from the country Villet.

Appearance
Orpheus has messy white hair and bright red eyes, much like a vampire.

His hair style and fluffy fluttering scarf gives him a vain image design. Considering his height, he has a flexible body as a young teen.

Personality
He has a bright personality and a big heart, with just a little bit of love for mischief too. He's so friendly that he's able to become friends with anyone and even the spirited heroine is able to be herself around him but deep in his heart there is an opposite state of loneliness. He is also considerably wise in the world and strong-willed. Sometimes he says things due to his loneliness to evoke pampering. However, if you're careless you'll be led around. He has a bit of a devilish side and this might also be his appeal.

History
Orpheus grew up as an orphan in Villet. When he grew up, he became a minstrel wandering his motherland. One day, the Kamon chose him as the Knight of the Western Country. Being a Knight would mean he will have to be responsible of distributing Grace to the country and give up his human body to become a Hanabito.

Etymology
Pronounced as: AWR-fee-əs

His name is perhaps related to Greek ορφνη (orphne) meaning "the darkness of night." In Greek mythology, Orpheus was a poet and musician who went to the underworld to retrieve his dead wife Eurydice. He succeeded in charming Hades with his lyre, and he was allowed to lead his wife out of the underworld on the condition that he not look back at her until they reached the surface. Unfortunately, just before they arrived, his love for her overcame his will and he glanced back at her, causing her to be drawn back to Hades.

Butterfly
Orpheus' butterfly is Asagi. She resides in his Kamon and serves as his guardian.

Crest
When Orpheus was chosen as a Knight, he had to abandon his human body and become a Hanabito. His crest contains five pink dahlias which is the symbol of his country and green stem-like details.

Residence
His mansion is surrounded by nature and a beautiful lake. The living room is lined with plants and a stylish round window. The decorations are simple yet unique. The material used to make his home is nicely polished wood.
