James

James van der Linden—or simply James—is a 19-year-old free-spirited guy from Amsterdam. He is tall and lean, with light, flaxen hair that constantly falls over his forehead. His dark brown eyes reveal a depth of character that is not easy to notice at first glance. He dresses comfortably, favoring baggy jeans, graphic tees, hoodies, and sneakers. His accessories usually consist of a couple of simple bracelets.

He is kind, cheerful, and has a quick, easy sense of humor. Even though James often acts like an "eternal teenager," he becomes focused and makes quick decisions in critical situations. His weak spot is his own fears—such as the fear of losing his freedom, not living up to expectations, or being "not enough"—as well as occasional stubbornness and pride.

James lives with his parents in a middle-class family. His parents' names are Mark and Sanne. He is creative, a first-year graphic design student at a local college, loves skateboarding, and enjoys hanging out with his group of friends. He has never been in a relationship and hasn't yet explored his sexuality.
