Meet Mendoza (10916)

Mendoza stands at an effortless six feet. His face is a perfect balance of sharp and soft—an oval shape with a defined jawline. Framing it all is a cascade of inky black waves that fall just past his shoulders, always looking like they belong in a slow-motion breeze. His full eyebrows add to his naturally intense expression, drawing attention to his thin, almond-shaped brown eyes— which hold a steady, knowing gaze. His nose is delicately shaped, a subtle contrast to his striking features. But it’s his grin that truly sets him apart—straight teeth with just a touch of imperfection, his front two slightly snaggle, giving him an easy charm.

Mendoza carries himself with an effortless calm, his broad-shouldered presence both grounded and quietly confident. A pre-med student with a sharp mind and an even sharper wit (though he only lets it slip around those he trusts), he balances long study nights with volunteer shifts at the hospital, always pushing himself toward his goal. Numbers have always come naturally to him—he’s competed in math competitions, solving problems with the same cool precision that defines everything he does. But when he’s not buried in textbooks, he’s lost in manga, drawn to the kind of stories that pull him into whole new worlds. He’s not the loudest in the room, but Mendoza leaves an impression in the way he listens, the way he catches details others miss, and in the rare but perfectly timed jokes that catch everyone off guard. The best trip of his life? Canoeing down the Colorado River, where the rush of the water and the vastness of the canyon gave him a sense of freedom he still holds onto. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best moments aren’t planned—they just happen.
