This is Malachite, who comes from the same universe as my other character Puakai. He is actually the mercenary I was talking about in Puakai’s story.

Malachite grew up mostly by himself on a deserted island. He never knew who created him. He is an angel, but unlike most angels, he doesn’t have angel parents because he doesn’t have a belly button.  However, a nearby clan of angels were out scouting and spotted him wandering around. They decided to take him in. Angel clans usually specialize in some form of warfare, weaponry, or defense- and the clan that adopted him were mercenaries. So it is basically a family trade. 

His clan prioritized strength and silence over emotions and wellbeing. So after going on his last mission, he figured it would be like any other. But he never killed his target, and kept following them around out of curiosity. After some confrontation, he is begrudgingly forced to join the group he was after and agrees to against orders and protectet them. This guy is so emotionally stunted though, that the mercy he shows them is almost overshadowed by his outbursts and just plain ignorance. 

But he, Puakai, and the little princess all start to become family through their long and perilous journey despite the initial volatile nature of their relationships. He too, like Puakai, slowly starts to learn how to show emotion and realizes how precious just FEELING things is.
