Louis de Sade Husbando

Louis de Sade was a character from Jun Mochizuki's The Case Study of Vanitas. A Vampire of the Crimson Moon, he was the brother of Dominique de Sade and childhood friend of Noé Archiviste. Louis was a tall, thin boy, though, having died in adolescence, still androgynous in build. Like his sister Dominique, he had a small chin, thin eyebrows, upturned, yellow-gold eyes with long eyelashes, and pale skin. His hair was black and straight, falling flat onto his face and cut around to be the length of his face. He had long bangs, parted at the middle, which fell into his eyes. His outfits varied, though, being raised by a high-ranking vampire, his clothing was usually formal and high quality. In most of his appearances, he wore a white shirt (sometimes with a black vest) a dark bow tie, black shorts, black socks, and black shoes. When Dominique imagined him as an adult, he looked much the same. His hair cut and clothing choices were similar. She imagined him with a slender frame, slightly shorter than Noé. Louis was snarky, skeptical, blunt, and at times outright cruel. He lacked sensitivity towards others, sometimes to the point of hurting their feelings. While he seemed distressed by others' suffering, he was reluctant to apologize or admit wrongdoing. This aloofness seemed to extend even towards himself, and he projected a cold image regarding his supposed status as a cursebearer and thus, his impending demise. In his first appearance, he cuts his own palm open with a knife, and does not seem to flinch at this. This caused his anguish to manifest in more symbolic ways- in the months preceding his death, he grew more distant, and began to obsessively carve stakes to be given to Noé. He seemed to be somewhat prideful, hoping to be killed by Noé as opposed to his grandfather or a bourreau. Despite his coldness, Louis cared deeply for his sister and Noé. Knowledge of his condition caused him to distance himself from the two of them. While he was unable to completely hide his emotions around them, he would often bite his tongue for their sake. Naenia remarked that to save Domi and Noé had been the first time he'd wanted something "very badly," enough to willingly hand over his True Name, and thus, his life.
