Subaru from X/1999 is more subdued, less coltish than he was at sixteen. These days he tends to be more disaffected, polite and distant and totally focused on achieving that which he wants most in the world. He's still kind-hearted but this is seen more in flashes and actions than a heart worn constantly on his sleeve, occasionally able to be touched and demonstrate something of the boy he was. He's much slower to trust these days but when that trust is given, Subaru is willing to put himself in harm's way. There's a streak of recklessness in him now though, throwing himself in situations with almost suicidal abandon. He has never gotten over either his sister's death or the betrayal of someone he loved and trusted and his heart has become a complicated battlefield, loving and hating at the same time.
