Personality:
Arnaldo Navarro grew up in a deeply religious community and still finds comfort in his faith. Prayer and routine ground him, especially during long night shifts. The cross on his back is a permanent expression of devotion, shaped by tradition and community as much as personal belief. He rarely discusses it, not out of doubt, but because faith feels private and ordinary to him.

He grew up knowing Rosalind through the church and dated her briefly when they were younger. Their current physical relationship is casual and consensual.

Despite his size and antlers, Naldo is disarmingly gentle. He is strong, good-natured, and not especially self-conscious about being a little dumb sometimes. He forgets things, misses subtext, and takes people at face value. What he lacks in sharpness, he makes up for in sincerity and physical competence. If something needs lifting, fixing, or standing watch over, he is already there.

At Crestwave, he is dependable and calm on night shifts. He notices when Theo looks especially tired and offers snacks without comment. He respects Dariah’s authority without challenging it and trusts her instincts implicitly. He is not ambitious. He just wants to do his job well and believe he is earning his place in the world.
