HEADCANON, HEADCANON EVERYWHERE but that's nothing new fff
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Cress is 5'9".... and a half. The extra half is very important. He's on the thin side, but not scrawny.
2. How old is he?
17; 20 in RoadtoViridian.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Cress carries himself as well as possible, always standing up straight and proper. His posture often gives off his arrogance. If he's slouching, something is Very Wrong.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Hahahahaha, Cress in shape hahahaha. He really doesn't exercise, so he's not fit much at all. Other than that, though, he's pretty healthy; despite all the sugar they serve at the Café he doesn't eat it all that much.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
SO GRACEFUL. Always graceful. He tries to model himself after his preferred type, so he moves very smoothly.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
HAHAHA well, he's pretty pretty! |D But he can generally be considered very attractive and/or bishounen. And OF COURSE he thinks he's utterly gorgeous. The café fangirls don't help his ego, either.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Pretty fair, and unblemished since he's a nut about keeping healthy (and pretty HANDSOME)
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Dark/medium blue and very smooth. It's, er, well, kind of strange in that it slightly resembles tentacles in the front, but it's supposed to be like water. Really. It's also sweeped over one eye, which he believes adds to his charm (and an aura of ~mystery). Pff.
9. What color are his eyes?
Blue, again. Don't ask how he and his brothers all have different hair/eye colors. cress is adopted POKEGENETICS.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
His facial expression-- it's usually set in a little self-assured grin. Confidence, he has it in spades.

WHAT DOES THIS QUESTION MEAAAN
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
While he usually wears his waiter uniform(he likes it and it's classy), he also has more casual clothes, if you could call them that; they're pretty fashionable and usually blue, or a complementing color.
BLABBERING ABOUT HIS UNIFORM'S DIFFERENCES FROM HIS BROTHERS':
Unlike his brothers, whose pants reach their shoes (Chili's moreso), Cres's pants are high waters, cutting off above his ankles. His pants are also much less baggy than his siblings', with crisper lines-- he's much more precise with his clothes; you won't find a wrinkle unless it's a really off day for him.
He also wears different shoes. His are pointed, as opposed to rounded. GAY OR EUROPEAN?? Yeeeaahh, I don't know either.
he and his brothers actually all have the same size pants, but the length it hits on them depends on their height LOMMY STOP BEING DUMB
