Gentle
Tender, Gentleness
な adjective, noun
A gentle and peaceful person is gentle and tender.
柔和 is commonly used in literature to describe someone whose nature or features express gentleness.
You didn't learn this reading of 柔 with the kanji, so let's remember it a different way. You have to be gentle and tender if you want to touch something that's new (にゅう) to this world... a puppy, a kitty, a baby, etc. Anything new needs that gentleness.
あそこで柔和な笑みを浮かべている理髪師は、実はこの辺りのポン引き男どもの親分なんだ。
That gentle looking barber over there is actually this area’s pimp boss.
