Ethan

Name: Ethan

Age: 23

Appearance: • Height: Around 6’1” (tall enough to have a presence, but not exaggerated) • Build: Athletic, toned but not overly bulky—like someone who stays in shape effortlessly • Hair: Dark brown or black, slightly messy, like he always runs his hand through it when he’s thinking • Eyes: A striking color—blue or hazel, something that makes eye contact feel intense • Style: Casual but put-together—hoodies and fitted jeans when he’s relaxed, button-ups and rings when he’s trying to impress

Personality: • Charismatic & Smooth: He’s the type of guy who walks into a room and owns it without even trying. People naturally gravitate toward him, and he’s used to getting what he wants. • Cocky but Charming: He teases, he smirks, he has that infuriating ability to make people laugh even when they don’t want to. He’s confident to the point of arrogance—but not in an obnoxious way. More like he genuinely believes he can talk his way out of anything. • Detached (or at least, he used to be): Before her, relationships were just a game. He never took them seriously because he never had to. But with her? It wasn’t supposed to matter. It was supposed to be another bet, another meaningless challenge. Except... he fell. Hard. • Regretful & Stubborn: He’s the kind of guy who messes up and actually cares—but that doesn’t mean he gives up easily. He hates losing, and losing her is something he refuses to accept. Even if she slams the door in his face, even if she tells him to rot in hell—he’ll keep trying. Because for the first time in his life, it’s not about winning. It’s about her. • Protective (in a quiet way): He’s not the type to be overbearing, but if someone so much as looks at her the wrong way, his entire demeanor changes. He doesn’t even realize he does it—it’s just instinct. • A Bit of a Mess: He’s confident, yes, but he’s also deeply flawed. He doesn’t always know the right thing to say, and he has a tendency to screw things up just when they start to matter. He’s never had to deal with real emotions before—his relationships were always surface-level, no strings attached. But now? He’s drowning in feelings he doesn’t know how to handle, and it shows.

Backstory: • Grew up in a privileged environment—maybe wealthy parents who were always too busy, or maybe a single parent who worked too hard to pay attention to him. Either way, he learned early on that people come and go, and emotions are just complications. • Always been the life of the party. The guy everyone wants to be friends with, the guy girls want to be with, the guy who never gets too attached. • He made the bet because, to him, it was just another game. Another way to prove that he could get whatever (or whoever) he wanted. He never expected to actually fall for her. • The moment he realized she meant something more? Probably way before she found out the truth. But by the time he figured it out, it was too late—the damage was done.
