Backstory

Hugo lived with his aunt Ramona for most of his life, as his mom was always in and out of rehab due to substance abuse. That being said, Gulls Landing was more of a home to him than Cedarwood Village, the town he grew up in. Hugo was diagnosed with ADHD very early on in his childhood. As his aunt likes to say, the signs were neon writing. Dealing with his ADHD was kind of hard; Hugo often got in trouble for not paying attention or being too fidgety.

Hugo continued to live on and off with his aunt up until high school. By the time he was in his sophomore year, his mother gave up custody of him to his aunt. Hugo was angry by this, feeling as if his mother was giving up on him, on their mother-son relationship, and for a while he became volatile and mean. After some counseling and opening up to his aunt, he realized that his mom giving up custody wasn't about him, it was about her. From then on, Hugo vowed to keep his cool and be open about his feelings to avoid damaging relationships and snapping at people.

After Hugo graduated high school, he took a job at his aunt's boyfriend's shop, Saltwater Surf. It was there he learned how to craft surfboards, and he used his art skills to create custom boards and earn more money on the side. Along with earning money from surfing competitions, Hugo wants to save up for his own small home. In the meantime, he continued to live with his aunt, giving her a hand around the house after she welcome her new baby.

Connections

Ramona Allen: Hugo's aunt, the younger sister of his mother. Ramona was taking care of Hugo since she was twenty and he was three. Ramona was a wonderful parental figure to Hugo, and he loves her a lot. Fun loving and sweet, Ramona is also quite popular in her small neighborhood.

Dale Jones: Ramona's boyfriend. Dale is a kind and rather quiet man, unlike the cheerful and extroverted Ramona and Hugo. When Ramona vented to him about her worries when Hugo decided not to go to college, Dale was quick to offer Hugo a job at his store.

Jane Allen-Jones: Ramona and Dale's one year old daughter. Jane is an extremely sweet and cheerful baby. However, Ramona and Dale worry about her a lot due to Jane being born with down syndrome. While she's expected to live a relatively normal life, they worry about her quite a lot.

May Allen: Hugo's mother, and Ramona's older sister. May had Hugo very young, and never found out who the father was. Due to depression and anxiety, May had issues with substance abuse. Due to this, she was often not in Hugo's life, only having him for a year or even as little as weeks at a time due to relapse. She eventually gave custody of Hugo to Ramona, knowing he needed the stability that she currently couldn't give him. May is currently out of rehab and hopes to rebuild her relationship with her son.
