As a kid, Jiwoo Seo didn’t have any friends because he was scared of mistakenly revealing his powers to others. On one occasion where he revealed his powers to his peers, he was treated as an outcast or a freak (Chapter 8), his first friend turned out to be a cat, setting the tone for him having a soft spot for cats.
The second-year high schooler feeds the stray cats in his neighborhood, he even goes as far as fostering a pseudo awakened cat experimented on by Dr. Delein. Jiwoo Seo is a soft-hearted and sincere man as noted by his master Kayden. He is short and possesses a slim but muscular build.
