Lieutenant Blouse - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Lieutenant Blouse is an earnest and somewhat naive officer in the Borogravian army, known for his bookish nature and lack of practical military experience. Despite his initial awkwardness, he demonstrates a surprising resilience and adaptability, becoming a key figure in the events of "Monstrous Regiment." His character highlights the absurdities of war and the unexpected potential within seemingly unremarkable individuals.
Physical Appearance
Lieutenant Blouse is a tall, lanky figure with an air of academic absent-mindedness, often seen wearing the standard-issue Borogravian military uniform, which seems slightly too large for his thin frame. His spectacles, perpetually perched on his nose, give him a scholarly appearance, contrasting with the ruggedness expected of a soldier. His hair is a nondescript brown, usually tousled as if he has just run his fingers through it in thought. Blouse's demeanor is often one of polite confusion, with a gentle, earnest expression that belies his inner determination and growing confidence.
