Neighbor boy
Hoytt Al Sarrad/24/m
Personality: he's a sweetheart and seems to care about Jess a lot. He has this big brother complex with her and often checks up on her- usually to see if she's eaten or slept well. He's prone to bouts of silences though- meaning that he locks himself away in his apartment for days on end working on projects or studying. He's stubborn and moody. Likes to look like he has everything under control. Prefers facts over faith when making decisions. He sulks a lot, it seems, and broods over something that he hasn't shared with Jess yet.
Background: Hoytt belongs to a wealthy saudi arabian family- he moved here, alone, four years ago to carve out his own path. His father wanted him to take over the family business and marry- but Hoytt wasn't hearing any of that noise. Instead he shipped himself off to America to attend a university and live a life separate from his families- so he could "grow" into the man he wanted to be. His mother still sends him a shit ton of money to support him, though, even though his father has totally disowned him.
Job: student
Friend
Aurel Gosse/23/m
Personality: a bright ball of sunshine. He's peppy and happy and loves to make others laugh. Affectionate and kind he won't hesitate to make a fool out of himself to make someone smile. Aurel is loud and enjoys doing things that let him be as loud as he wants. He lobes the outdoors and is actually an avid mountain climber. He can get over-protective and even jealous at times- but he'll usually back off when he catches himself. In short he's always happy and quite the dork.
Background: He met Jess just before college and has been friends with her since. They attend the same school- although they took different majors. He belongs to a french family (that, unlike Hoytt's, actually shipped him off themselves) and is the only child to two business tycoons. The only family he has here in America is an aunt who hates dealing with him.
Job: student- illustrator (by commission) bartender
Agent
Joyce Moore/37/f
Personality: very too the point and strict- she's all about schedules and lists and keeping to them. Punctual, pretentious and prissy- she can be pretty annoying to deal with. But she often makes up for these things with her keen perception of how others feel around her. She considerate to the needs of others and, possibly because shes away from her kids so long, treats those that work with her as her own children.
Background: Mrs.Moore is a mother of three who lives on the other side of town. She is a lawyer who personally has no interest in art. She acts more like a mother than an agent at times- although, when she succumbs to the pressures of the company she works under, she can be harsh.
Job: Agent
