PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Hornsi is a round, soft-bodied local whose face does most of the talking: layered brow folds, a proud moustache, a long drooping nose and two sharp horns rising above it all. He reads as sturdy rather than fierce, the kind of fellow people wave over when something needs carrying, retrieving or cheerfully delivered without fuss. In Sunspindle Commons he works as a parcel-runner and platform helper, shuttling awkward bundles, lost tickets and small civic items between offices, maintenance corners and arrivals desks; he is there because he is dependable, hard to miss, and unusually good at squeezing through a busy day without making it busier.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- Top-heavy face architecture over a pear-shaped, bubble-bodied torso: horn tips up high, brow bulges out wide, nose dropping centrally, moustache zigging below, then a soft taper into stubby legs. He reads clearly even as a simple shadow.
- Scale
- Likely short to lower-mid height beside people, but visually substantial because the head and torso are oversized relative to the limbs. Hands and feet appear compact; the face takes up an unusually large share of total mass.
- Material
- Apricot-to-cream skin with warmer blush on nose, cheeks and joints, satin-sheened horns, a chestnut moustache, and smooth elastic body tissue that catches light on the rounded belly and brow pads.

OCCUPATION & CHARACTER
Parcel-runner and platform helper in the station district, carrying awkward items, locating mislaid paperwork, and escorting small deliveries between arrival platforms, maintenance counters and civic record rooms.
He looks like a blustering, horn-forward bruiser, but his strongest instinct is not to dominate a space; it is to make the space easier for everyone else to use.
