WEST’S BACKGROUND: West is the only son of a high-profile music producer. His father had him enrolled in the academy more as a PR move than a parenting choice. He rarely shows up to class and frequently disappears from campus for days at a time, only to reappear unbothered, no explanation given.

Despite his aloofness, he's technically brilliant, especially in music. West plays drums in an off-campus band, and he's incredibly talented, even if he doesn’t advertise it. He's performed at underground shows in the city but rarely tells anyone unless they already know. Teachers tolerate his truancy because of his family name, but most students avoid him due to his intense presence.

• Aloof
• Withdrawn but observant
