His hairstyle and clothes will change depending on the player's choices, or through the Cove creator before the start of each Step after Step 1. For Step 1, Cove's appearance cannot be changed. He has neck-length hair. He wears dark red glasses, a white sleeveless shirt, a black belt with a gold buckle over a pair of khaki shorts, white socks, and black shoes. In the Step 1 DLC, he wears a sweater with two shades of brown in "Ghost." He has a blue backpack in "Runaway." He also wears a pink cast due to a jet ski accident. He is 4'1" tall in this Step.[1] Before Step 2 starts, the player can choose between a bushy or a smoother neck-length hairstyle for Cove in the custom Cove creator. For casual wear, Cove will wear either a red sleeveless shirt with lizard patterns or a navy blue shirt. For his pants, the player can choose from either one of the two striped sweatshorts, blue shorts with a green belt, or brown shorts with a brown belt. He can wear an optional brown beaded necklace. He also has the option to wear a pink beaded bracelet on his left wrist and choose between two different brown bracelets for his right wrist. The player can also choose between two optional glasses for him: one with dark green rectangular frames and another with brown round ones. From this Step onward, his pink cast will be gone, and a thin scar will be visible on his left arm. For sleepwear, he will either wear a violet shirt with a compass design in the middle or a plain blue shirt. He will always wear white pants. Finally, the player can choose between a black-and-gray or a pink-and-white jacket, which he wears in "Road Trip". During "Wave" and by the end of Step 2, if he is at least friends with the main character, he wears a black-and-blue wetsuit. If the player has the Step 2 DLC, he wears green plaid sweatshorts at the start of "Soiree" while hanging out at the beach. If the main character invites him, he will wear a black formal shirt and black pants. He is 5'4" tall in this Step.[1] On the Step 3 Cove creator, the player can choose between three hairstyles for Cove: long hair hanging loosely, a ponytail, or short hair. He can wear one of the three optional glasses and two of the optional earrings. For casual, he will wear either a black shirt with an anchor design, a denim shirt that fades into white at the bottom with folded sleeves over a white undershirt, or a striped sleeveless shirt with different shades of yellow. He will wear green pants, black pants, beige sweatshorts, white sweatshorts, or denim pants with a brown belt. Cove can wear either a silver bracelet or a black watch on his left wrist, and either a black bracelet, a brown bracelet, or three bangles on his right wrist. He can wear an optional necklace with an anchor design. For his pajamas, Cove wears a 3/4-sleeve shirt with wings as the pattern around the neck and shoulders, as well as plaid pants. The player can choose between two color schemes for both. For swimwear, he will wear either blue or pink sweatshorts. For formal wear, the player has two black long sleeve shirts as options, with one of them having line patterns, and black pants with a gray belt. Cove mentions that he almost always goes barefoot wherever he goes. He wears an ORCA shirt in "Hang" and "Charity." If the player has the Step 3 DLC, he is shown wearing a full-on black-and-yellow wetsuit in "Reflection." The main character can give him a bracelet as a gift which he wears at Step 3. He is 6'0" tall in this Step.[1] Cove has four hairstyles for Step 4: short hair, smooth wavy hair, bushy hair, and a man bun. He has the option of wearing red, black, or brown glasses. He can wear black earrings, two silver helix piercings, or both. He can also have a blue water-themed or a greenish-gray spotted tattoo. He has two possible body types: slim and buff. For the majority of the Step, he wears either a white tank top with a single dark blue chest pocket clumsily tucked into his pants, a maroon sleeveless shirt with a white anchor design in the middle, a yellow t-shirt with floral patterns at the top part, or a dark blue shirt with white flower designs across it. He has four pants options: khaki pants, denim pants, black slacks, and black plaid pants. His accessories include red and blue bracelets clamped together, an assortment of various colored bracelets, a single black bracelet on his left wrist, a brown bracelet with a boat steering wheel in the middle, a gray bracelet, and a gold watch on his right wrists. For his necklace, he has the option of wearing a round object resembling a small lifesaver tied to a black string, or a beaded choker. Lastly, he can wear shades with either a black or blue tint. Cove wears a gold or silver ring if he is engaged to the main character and the player is okay with him wearing it. Before going to the anniversary party with the main character's moms, he changes into a white long-sleeved shirt with gray birds printed on it and gray slacks with a brown belt. He wears blue polka dot boxers in one scene. He is 6'4" in this Step.[1] For the Wedding DLC, the player may be able to help Cove choose his look for the wedding. This includes more formal versions of his four hairstyles. What he wears is influenced by the level of formality the player wishes to go for. The selection of clothes he can wear during the wedding includes a jacket that can be either white or black. He can wear a white long-sleeved shirt buttoned up to the collar if the player chooses formal. Otherwise, he wears a long-sleeved shirt that can be blue, gray, green, orange, pink, purple, red, or yellow, depending on what the player wants. He also wears a vest and pants, both of which can either be black or white. For his accessories, Cove may wear a corsage and/or a black tie. The flowers on the corsage resemble white linen poppies. Personality “Cove as a character concept was created to work with all the different features/themes/aesthetics of the game. He had to be certain ways in order to fit with everything else planned for the project. So, initially, he was pretty hollow. It was a puzzle to imagine how someone with all these practicality requirements could come off like a natural person. But I was able to start fleshing him out more/getting invested in him by focusing on my favorite parts of character development- what makes them difficult/flawed, haha. From there his development over the years all began to flow into place.” —GB in an interview Some aspects of Cove's personality change depending on the player's choices and the Cove creator, ranging from warm to cold and studious to sporty. However, the game states that Cove will always remain introverted and sentimental. He is also easily flustered and described as a crybaby; he cries a lot regardless of whether he is sad or happy. As a kid, Cove was blunt. He will say anything on his mind, even if it leads to an argument. As a result, he always goes toe-to-toe with Elizabeth whenever they interact. He is also not afraid to ask questions when he wants to know something. Although his intent is harmless, his tactless curiosity has once caused Shiloh to snap at him. However, his honesty means that he also gives out sincere compliments. This is shown when he visited the main character's room after their first meeting, praising them for a drawing that they made. He also shows politeness when he looks at one of the main character's seashells, displaying genuine interest in it before proceeding to reject their offer of giving it to him, saying he doesn't want to take it from them. He often verbally expresses his gratitude to people who he thought helped him, no matter their intent. He was also a bit cold. Unless he is friends with them, the main character mentions how Cove is either always sad or disinterested, and will rarely smile. He also answers as briefly as possible, especially towards his father. Nevertheless, Step 1 Cove still has a mature side. He chose to understand why Shiloh got angry at him, regardless of what the main character says about Shiloh's reason. As he grows up, he develops a somewhat laid-back personality. In addition, Cove either becomes more talkative or will start to keep things to himself depending on the player's choices, or through the Cove creator by the warm-to-cold scale. The warmer Cove's personality is, the more likely he is to go along with jokes the people around him make. On the other hand, he becomes more serious the colder his personality is. Cove is also shown to be somewhat of a slob. There are several instances in each Step where Cove is shown wiping his hands on his pants after eating or is mentioned to be doing so by his father. In Step 3, he also flicks salt residue from his fingers at the main character if they tease him about behaving like a kid. He also loves food. There are several instances where the main character can take note of how Cove is capable of eating lots of food. Cove is additionally quite clingy, as seen in his habit and joy of staying close to the main character, whether they are friends or a couple. He will mostly hang around them during social events for comfort. He also seems to be somewhat oblivious, requiring extra time to piece things together and not understanding the implications of what people are saying. Cove becomes easily flustered if someone teases or flirts with him, as well as when indecent things are brought up, such as when Baxter mentioned he once went skinny-dipping as part of a dare in "Hang" or when he tries to sleep in the same bed as the main character when they are dating. This goes so far as him needing to psyche himself up to do so in Step 3's conclusion.
