Jae is an enneagram 4! Sensitive, creative and emotionally tense, his core fear is not being unique & having no impact on the world.
I can’t quite figure out if his wing is 3 or 5; he has aspects of both.

Not counting flashbacks, I imagine Jae being about 23 or 24 as of chapter 1.
I wanted to have a protagonist who’s older than most YA heroes, but young enough to leave plenty of room to write many stories about him.
