His family’s status has afforded him opportunities to study at some of the best institutions, culminating in his exchange program at the University Lumière des Yvelines Sud (ULYS).
Appearance:
Deric is a tall, lean young man with dark curly hair and sharp, attentive eyes. His wolf heritage is evident in his slightly elongated canines and the lupine ears that twitch at the faintest sound.

He is empathetic and kind, often using his art to bridge gaps between different communities. However, beneath his calm exterior lies a fierce loyalty to those he cares about and a determination to challenge the prejudices he encounters.
Role at ULYS:

He has starred in a few plays and is actively involved with the book club, though he isn't a particularly prominent figure in the overall university landscape.
