Meet Whimsical Knight, From Melbourne, Australia

Whimsical Knight has strong opinions about whether you've actually read the book you're carrying, and they will ask follow-up questions with the intensity of a literature professor who hasn't slept in three days. The tie dye hoodie, paper bag headwear, and nerd glasses create an aesthetic best described as "thrift store meets mad scientist," which Whimsical Knight insists is intentional and not at all the result of getting dressed in the dark while reading.

Their friend Witty Blossom once tried to convince them that a katana would make a better bookmark than an actual bookmark, an argument that Whimsical Knight is still not over.

The book they're holding has approximately 47 dog-eared pages, three different colored highlighters worth of annotations, and a sticky note that just says "WAIT WHAT" in all caps. Whimsical Knight refuses to discuss what happened on that page. They also refuse to sit near windows because "the glare makes reading harder," which may or may not be a legitimate complaint disguised as a quirk.
