1. How tall are they? By
word of god he is 5'7". which seems fake but i have learned to accept it.
2. What's their general build/body type? way too skinny!!! i mean like everyone in s. jean's art style is thin but snowe especially seems frail
and honestly, he really is. he is delicate. be gentle with him, he breaks easily.
(also snek 5, 8, 10, 12, 15)
4. What's their least favorite thing about their appearance? currently? his scars. they really deeply upset him, each one for different reasons, but several of them he doesnt feel like he deserves for them to go away. for some of them, he hates them because theyre symbols of his shame and guilt
before he got his scars, though? hmmm
probably his eyes. everyone tells him he has his mothers eyes, and thats not a compliment
11. What's their skin like? Do they get sunburned easily? Are they sensitive to certain materials or textures? PALE AS HELL. EASILY BURNT AS FUCK. SO EASILY. poor rhea and canan had to coat him in sunblock
i wouldnt say hes particularl;y sensitive to textures/materials, but he does certainly love a some really nice fabrics like high quality silks and velvets... he has TASTE
16. How flexible are they? Can they touch their toes? Put their foot behind their head? not very, no, and no. he could try to touch his toes, bend only halfway down with his hands still a foot away from his toes at least and just grunt pathetically
hes just a delicate cleric prince
4. What's their least favorite thing about their appearance? artyom is generally pretty satisfied with his appearance currently, but for a while he sometimes didnt care for how small he was. not because he thought being small was lame, but because everyone else did
its not fun when people poke fun at you for being a skinny little guy
his callsign with the rangers was even 'rabbit' and anna, at the very least, if not many more rangers, used it teasingly
currently, though... im not sure, here in nexus and dating pavel, hes pretty satisfied with himself!
6. How fast or slow is their metabolism? Do they need to eat a lot to keep going, or can they just eat one meal a day and call it good? the latter, if only because thats what hes used to
he grew up in the post-apocalyptic metro, food was scarce and rationed, and usually consisted of mushrooms and SOMETIMES meats they got from whatever they could find... usually rat. very rarely, pork
artyom is used to being able to eat once, and then having to hold onto that for hours, even days, at a time
in nexus, sometimes hell gorge himself when he can get away with it, especially on sweets, but even ignoring his lactose intolerance, hell very quickly get himself sick. he cant eat too much yet
10. Do they have any notable birthmarks or scars? What about freckles? HE HAS A BEAUTY MARK BELOW THE CORNER OF HIS RIGHT EYE AND ITS THE CUTEST GODDAMN THING
its like... RIGHT on his cheekbone

ITS DARLING
11. What's their skin like? Do they get sunburned easily? Are they sensitive to certain materials or textures? hes usually very pale for obvious mole-people reasons, but naturally, his skin is olive toned and if he were to (gradually) give himself the chance, he could possibly tan really well
his skins pocked with various scars for various reasons- gunshot wounds, knife wounds, claws and teeth- his hands are usually callused from handling weapons, among other things
aside from that, though, and aside from body hair and scruff, his skins a bit soft-ish, once hed finally got it scrubbed clean of two decades of a thin layer of metro filth. hes kinda mildly obsessed with keeping himself clean, now that he can
16. How flexible are they? Can they touch their toes? Put their foot behind their head? he can touch his nose, but probably cant put his foot behind his head. hes doably flexible, a skinny bendy guy able to get into small spaces as needed
which, you know, in the metro, was more often than in our normal lives
just casually gotta go crawl around in all these tiny drain pipes
5. Do they exercise often? If so, what do they do? YES, AND ALL OF IT. okay, more accurately, probably [insert some army exercise regimen here]
for some examples, he definitely regularly does situps, pushups, pullups, and frequently goes running/jogging
gotta keep in tip-top super-soldier shape
8. Do they tend to be more comfortable in warmer or cooler weather? definitely cooler, there has to be a reason he opted for first the northern canadian wilderness, and then the alaskan wilderness in both his attempts to get away and retire, as opposed to, idk, somewhere in the bumfucked midwest or the amazon
hes clearly fond of cooler areas of the world, especially ones with long, dark winters and snow
especially where he can race his huskies...
10. Do they have any notable birthmarks or scars? What about freckles? no birthmarks, really, but he definitely has a lot of scars from all the battles hes been in. especially bullets and knives. maybe an electrical burn scar here or there. a couple recent surgery scars. etc
hes had a Rough and Tumble life
being a super-soldier, you know how it is
12. What are their teeth like? Straight, crooked, yellow, white? How many cavities have they had, if any? his teeth are probably as impeccable as he can get them. brush and floss every day. but he hasnt exactly seen a dentist in a long-ass time, but he doesnt notice anything off so hes probably fine
15. How comfortable are they using their off-hand? hes probably reasonably ambidextrous and to be honest im not sure what his dominant hand is. he seems to favor his right but he also kinda just. uses whatever hand he needs to in that moment sometimes.
he definitely was trained/trained himself to be ambidextrous from soldierly reasons
UR WHOLE BODY IS A WEAPON

gee whiz i
wonder

hmmMMMMmmMMMmm
(the question being "9. Do they take after either of their (biological) parents in terms of looks? How so?")
clemens, 6, 7, 9, 14, 16!
6. How fast or slow is their metabolism? Do they need to eat a lot to keep going, or can they just eat one meal a day and call it good? he probably needs to munch frequently, considering he is an herbivore. gotta graze fast
need all that energy for prancing
7. How much sleep do they generally need to feel rested? How much sleep do they actually get, on average? he probably doesnt sleep for very long at a time, but he has naps throughout the day sometimes
probably a few hours at a time
9. Do they take after either of their (biological) parents in terms of looks? How so? yes! he takes a lot after both his mother and father, mostly his mother, in terms of the shape of his face and the colors of his pelt and antlers
iirc he has his moms eyes, too
14. Are they right- or left-handed? ive never actually thought about it before, mostly because ive never pictured him really doing much that requires a dominant hand. but hes probably a southpaw, if not naturally ambidextrous
16. How flexible are they? Can they touch their toes? Put their foot behind their head? very! yes and yes! in both his forms, too, humanoid and deer. you should see him use his antlers to scratch his backside
4. What's their least favorite thing about their appearance? that hes fat. which is also like. one of his defining physical features besides "albino" and "bird" and "gorgeous"
hes just sensitive because hes been teased about it a lot
nooo.... baby... ur cute tho, fae....
ur cute n pudge n cute because pudge...
smooches his hair n pets him!!
8. Do they tend to be more comfortable in warmer or cooler weather? warmer, because cold hurts him. he doesnt like it too warm either because too much warm is suffocating for him but hed prefer that over cold because cold just fucking hurts
17. How's their immune system? Do they get sick often? he gets sick a little more frequently than the average person, being so sheltered and delicate. but its not always because of his immune system. he has conditions that make him get himself sick sometimes
19. Give me a headcanon of your choice. he hates growing in new feathers because they are so unbearably itchy its practically painful
the worst part is he grows downy fluff around his neck every winter and its itchy hell
but i bet hes cute and fluffy!!!
let him have a boyf that will scratch his feathers n tell him how pretty he is
that would make all his dreams come true
