Name: Dante Jones-Yasuragi
Appearance: Age: 13
Gender: Male
Personality: Risk-averse and non-confrontational, Dante is unusually reserved for a lad of his age. He tends to keep to himself and away from situations that would entangle him in group dynamics; which, combined with a pronounced stubborn streak and a smart mouth, makes him come across as difficult and unwilling to work with others.
Though certainly not a social butterfly, this is largely unfair to Dante. Though perhaps a bit too reserved for his own good, he is the way he is not out of any sense of malice or sense of superiority, but a deeply-ingrained sense of caution and responsibility instilled into him by a difficult life. Though he tends to avoid other people and their problems if he can help it, that side of him often compels him to get involved anyway. Though he'll often rationalize it as 'just trying to do the right thing', he's certainly not the most pragmatic individual, regardless of how he tries to present himself.
Brief Bio: It'd be remiss to say that Dante's life has been full of tragedy, though it certainly hasn't been an easy one.
He and his twin sister were born to young parents; a young English man and a Japanese international student, only a couple years after their graduation. Despite a decent financial situation and plenty of support from their families, things weren't easy for them; Dante's parents genuinely loved each-other and their children and did all they could to provide, but they themselves had issues to work out that often forced them into a difficult balancing act. As of this, whilst they had the care and resources they needed, he and his sister had to learn to take responsibility for themselves at a fairly young age; helping out with cooking on nights where the family was worn down or short-handed, running extra errands and chores when the need arose, and doing their absolute best to stay out of trouble so that things didn't get any more difficult for them.
Things picked up significantly two years ago, when after some needling from Dante's aunt and her partner, his parents started seeing someone about their issues. Whilst things were still difficult at times, the improved psychological health and a handful of job changes and promotions lead to a significantly less demanding and stressful home environment, even by the time Dante and his sister entered secondary school. That lead to its own issues, however. Whilst they had a handful of friends from earlier in their life, the move to a bigger environment in secondary school was a difficult one for them; they didn't quite know how to interact with such a large number of class and schoolmates. This lead to some bullying at first- it was hard enough fitting in without the bonus of being mixed-race in a otherwise mostly homogenous environment-but between a handful of growth spurts and more or less retreating into themselves, they managed to make it a survivable environment; just one no less difficult than before.
