~Casually takes the risk~

I'd like a bit of advice for my character Blanchard Lunaire? I have his history, homelife, background, ext. fleshed to a T and all figred out, but I've been having a difficult time for months trying to put his personality in words, or knowing just exactly what his personality even is. For a little while, when I started roleplaying and writing about him off-site, I had a pretty solid idea on how to write him even if I couldn't describe it, but I slowly started losing my grasp on just that and now it's like I trying to describe someone else's character in words.

Even worse, it was also around that time where I started seeing a few people describe him as being shy, or perhaps thinking of him in terms/descriptors that weren't exactly what I intended of him to fiy. Introspective? maybe, but not nessesarily shy. Maybe I started doubting how I wrote him when I started letting what others though of him define who he is. I've been growing tired of knowing what I don't see him as, rather than realizing what he is.

He's a rebel as mentioned on his profile. For a while I was focusing on the being-afraid-of-love aspect as the main reason, but as I played him I I think I started exaggerating this portion of him on accident. While of course, I'll keep the fact that he might be wary of crushes/being fancied by cute guys and gals (which hasn't been added to his page yet, although I'm going to do so with different wording), I'm going to develop more on the idea that he just doesn't want to be typecasted as some freak/oblivious outcast in his own community.

As for anything else that might help in detangling/figuring him out: The one other thing that might come to mind is that he might be somewhat poetic? Not sure how to explain it since it wouldn't be a defining trait at all. I also see him as having been given vocal training (voice lessons) around 13-ish when most voice artists start out, since the genre his destiny is focused on is partially realted theatre/nursery rhymes usually to with music, but then he was forced to quit after a year or two since Pierrot is more often portrayed as being mute. Kinda tied in with his rebel alignment, ehe.
