Name: Victor Vincent Fuentes Nicknames: Vic Age: 16 Gender: Male (he/him) Occupation: 3rd year high school student Physical appearance: Vic is a skinny, awkward teenage boy who stands at a measly 5'6". His hair, which is a warm brown hazel that is naturally curly, is often straightened and his bangs are styled to be in a side-swept fringe. Aside from his choice of clothing, his hairstyle is very reminiscent of a stereotypical, early 2000s emo haircut. Clothing style: Vic, despite being seen wearing his high school's uniform more often than not, has a stereotypical emo/punk aesthetic. Vic's casual dress consists of wearing tattered sweaters, worn sneakers, ripped skinny jeans, tight-fitting shirts, as well as band merch of all kinds. At school, Vic wears the school's designated uniform: a soft, burgundy-coloured vest over a white, long-sleeved button-up paired with dark gray dress pants and black shoes. Although the school's dress code is particularly strict, students are allowed to customize their belongings and wear accessories that fall under the school's policy. Vic, in particular, enjoys wearing bracelets of his favourite bands and sticking pins to his backpack. Personality: Vic is shy, insecure, and often anxious. As a result of the bullying he has endured since the start of last year, Vic has grown wary of his classmates and peers, and has become withdrawn and reserved. He has trouble trusting others, especially those who perform acts of kindness towards him. However, despite Vic's outwardly gloomy and cowardly demeanour, he is incredibly creative, open-minded, and surprisingly optimistic. Vic thrives in spaces where he can allow himself to be creative without the anxiety of being ridiculed or shamed. He takes pride in his creative endeavours, showcasing his ambition, authenticity, and respect for his craft. MBTI: INFP Enneagram: Type 1 (2w4) Likes: Vic enjoys drawing in the margins of his notebook during boring classes. His go-to doodles are often of cute animals, particularly cats and otters. When he isn't at school or doing homework, Vic enjoys watching Disney movies or playing video games with Jaime and Tony. During school hours, Vic enjoys going to the music room after classes to hang out with Tony and Jaime. Vic also enjoys drinking soda, participating in Mr. Saul's art class, and Ketchup flavoured chips. Dislikes: Vic dislikes his bullies who often force him to do things he's not comfortable doing. He doesn't like confrontation or conflict and he does his best to avoid situations that might cause tension or distress. Vic also dislikes wearing socks to bed, staying up past "the devil's hour", and his math teacher Mrs. Collins, who he believes should be teaching at a university and not a high school. Hobbies: Some of Vic's favourite hobbies include playing the guitar, writing his own songs and singing covers, watching movies, and playing video games Fears: Vic has a fear of not fitting in and failing to be "normal" like everyone else. He longs to be a part of something larger than himself and to be a part of a community that won't make him feel like every step he takes is a mistake Insecurities: Vic is insecure about his height and his voice. His bullies enjoy pointing out these particular things, convincing Vic that his hair and voice are flaws Goals: Vic wants to be the singer of a rock band one day. His ultimate goal is to play a show in every major venue in North America. Behaviour/mannerisms: Vic often avoids and struggles to maintain eye contact, believing that accidentally looking at someone will make him a target. When walking in crowded areas, Vic often walks with his head down and with his hands shoved into the pockets of his sweater, hoodie, or pants if they have any. When he's nervous, Vic shifts on his feet and often stumbles over his words. His hands typically begin to shake and turn clammy from sweat. When Vic is with Jaime and Tony, he is better at maintaining eye contact and he doesn't stutter as much over his words. With his friends, he smiles more often. Speech: Vic speaks softly and carefully. He tries to annunciate his words clearly so that he's not misunderstood, but that often falls flat due to the fact that he speaks so quietly all the time.

Backstory: Vic comes from a middle-class family that recently moved into town last year after Vic's father found a new job as a contracting painter for landlords and real estate agents.

Jaime Preciado:

• MBTI: ESFP
• Occupation: 3rd year high school student
• Description: Jaime is one of Vic's only friends. Jaime and Vic became friends last year when they were paired up to work on an assignment together in science class. Recently, Jaime has been getting bullied for associating with Vic, but that hasn't deterred Jaime from continuing to be Vic's friend. If anything, the bullying as only strengthened their bond. Tony Perry:

• Occupation: 3rd year high school student.
• Description: Tony is one of Vic's only friends. Tony met Vic through Jaime when they all ran into each other in the band room during lunch.

Tony is tough and intimidating, he isn't a pushover, especially not to his friends' bullies.
