Still, though, I just can't keep my mind off of her. Even when I play, I just keep fucking up cuz I can't seem to focus right. Barely even passed my classes last semester. Maybe after the break I'll be able to actually get her to sit down and talk to me. You know, about the deep shit. I'm not sure if it'll work out the way I'm hoping it does, but I'm excited to see her nonetheless—I miss her. I've decided that I'm going to ask her if she wants to go to the drive-in theater with me. I figured it could be a good place to talk, but I don't want to trap her either if she doesn't feel comfortable. Goddamn, I don't think I've ever struggled this much with a girl before. She's worth it, though. . . I'll probably set up some blankets and pillows in the back of the rover and make it real comfortable. I'm sure it'll get all fucked up by the time we even get half way through the movie. Can't say I'd mind that." |

Personality Traits
♦ Trustworthy ♦ Ambitious ♦ Caring ♦ Respectful ♦ Depression ♦ Introverted ♦ Closed-off ♦ Pessimist ♦
Although Blake has the qualities of a morally good friend, he keeps his circle small and prefers to be left alone. He has a strong passion for his interests and enjoys the solitude of them. While he appreciates criticism with his art forms, he would rather be independent in his learning and enjoys being alone. As somebody who wears their heart on their sleeve, he feels as though he has nothing to show. What color there is of his personality is hard to find unless someone really got to know him. Many describe him as dull until meeting him further, unlocking his old-soul interests and his love for the arts.
Blake considers himself to be a kind person, never disrespecting the next person, but never befriending them either. Due to his strict upbringing and a history of being taken advantage of, he finds the safety of distance comforting. Although, the lack of interaction and his desire to be isolated has left him with a pulsating depression, spiking most when he’s faced with change and complicated social situations. Blake successfully hides his depression, masking it with a smile and stating otherwise when people question his mental state. Naturally, he doesn’t let many people close to him and he fears the vulnerability required for anything more than simple friendship.

Upbringing Synopsis
Blake is someone who struggles between passions, but more in a way that overwhelms him and keeps him preoccupied. He grew up close to his father with high admiration and idolization. His father was many things: a successful businessman, a lover of old music, a musician, a father of five children, and a man of strict, traditional rules. What laid beside the warmth of encouragement and humor were his high expectations of each of his children, especially Blake. It was easy for Blake to pick up the interests, but it was a constant battle to try and win the honor and appreciation of his father. This left him with his isolated nature and his self-disciplined manner; what was the point of having a talent and not honing it?
Granted, this made Blake’s high school years easy for him. While most social settings of high schools would pick on the musically inclined, Blake was lucky enough to win over his popularity with his talents. With his cello in hand and a love for culinary arts, he was an unusual hotshot of his high school. Blake delved in sports, but never enough to reach any considerable titles. What love he had for sports was not enough to outweigh his passion for the arts. Collectively, it seemed like there wasn't anything that Blake was particularly bad at, but in his eyes, he was never skilled enough at any one thing. To have multiple skills but nothing that's impressive stand-alone was not enough for him. He narrowed down his desires and focused on what he loved the most. To be artistic comes with an easy way to woo a crowd, but it also comes with it's haunting doubts: a take-away from what it's like to be creative.
Blake went through girlfriends in high school fast, never giving them enough attention to have a substantial relationship lasting longer than a couple months. To be consumed by his interests and his constant struggle to impress his father, he didn't have the capacity to devote time into a significant other. While he was raised to be respectful, he could never find it in him to divide his attention enough to pursue any act of love. This was fine for him, as he knew his talents would shape his future, a much more important concept.
Once he was old enough, he started working at a fine-dining restaurant as a chef. Blake often played for them on his days off and worked to enhance their menu until he won awards for the dishes he created. He began to blame his Italian blood for his obsession with cooking and classical music. As college approached, Blake was faced again with his struggle between passions, becoming lost on what career path would be best.
For an artistic person with incredible passion, dreaming big was as easy as counting to ten. But such dreams were built upon the adoration of a strict father, leaving them susceptible to becoming crushed. And like glass was it shattered, each piece resembling every doubt and worry he previously had. Many people talk about what it’s like to hold onto a dream, but nobody ever mentions the emptiness that follows the crash. For Blake, he remained hollow, following the footsteps that were always suggested of him. To get into an Ivy League college was nothing, and the tuition was like pocket change for his family, so he now enters with a different future in mind. One that he doesn’t necessarily call his own, but one where he can finally live with a proud father and family. Who knows, accounting could be fun.

placeholder ☮ | MacKenna Diedrikson Varma | ☮ ______________________________________________________ "Mac reminds me of an orange. The peel is bitter but the inside is nice." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: Blake and Mac connected from their underlying love for creativity. While they both assert their focus and time into much more promising fields of study, they look to their passions as an outlet. Blake, with his love for music, and Mac, with her incredible poetic ability, find themselves attending each other’s events—whether it’s open mic night or an orchestra performance. Blake has a great appreciation for her since she constantly uplifts him with his desire to play music. While her encouragement for Blake to switch to musical performance is convincing, he can’t seem to look past his doubtful father’s influence. Mutually, Blake demands more of Mac’s poetry and tries to inspire her to write more. Mac’s opinion doesn’t come with any feather weight, but it’s rather valued more since she isn’t one to be fake and speak anything else but the truth. The two make a great pair of friends. |

placeholder ♥ | Lola Francesca Russo | ♥ ______________________________________________________ "Best mistake I’ve ever made. . ." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: Lola and Blake have an interesting dynamic. It was Lola’s towering confidence and fiery seduction that pulled Blake in the first night, and it was her flirtatious allure that kept him coming back for more. Lola is possessive, to say the least, demanding his loyalty despite not being formally committed to each other. For Blake, he’d never picture himself to be interested in more than just lustful hookups with this blonde vixen, but there’s something about her that he’s dying to explore. For Lola, she refuses to express her feelings on the matter, and Blake worries that she doesn’t have the same feelings for him. As of now, Blake continues to try and truly talk to Lola in between the sex and the flirting, but she’s quite uncooperative. Still, though, the potential relationship is worth the potential heartbreak. |

He’s heard him in the music rooms, but he’s never approached him or introduced himself. Instead, Blake has enjoyed his playing from a distance and given him mental accreditation. |

placeholder ☮ | Ramona Michelle Martin | ☮ ______________________________________________________ "A great chef—I gotta admit." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: Blake met Ramona in a culinary arts elective. While he has a great love for cooking, he decided not to pursue it further with education besides this simple elective that he took. For Ramona, she has a natural talent and continues to master her craft through further education. Blake finds himself to be a little envious of her inherent ability to create tasteful things, and he can’t deny her great ability in the art. During their time in class, he found himself competing with her a lot, but such was just fun competition. Blake does admire her ability to cook and hopes to learn a thing or two from her one day, should he get the opportunity to. |
placeholder ☯ | Leonidas Ajani Windsor | ☯ ______________________________________________________ "A little much for me." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: While the two of them haven't met beyond what Lola has introduced, Blake is sure that Leo might've heard things about him from Lola. Leo does sport a more adventurous, impulsive personality which is very opposite of what Blake enjoys. But, while he finds a personality such as that to be a little overbearing, he does find respect for him being fun. |
placeholder ♫ | Cassian Asa Lee | ♫ ______________________________________________________ "Cass is similar to his style: very black and white. Still, I respect his honesty even if he’s a little mean sometimes." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: Blake first met Cassian when he had trouble with his classes. Going into college unprepared with a major that demanded a lot from it’s students, he found himself needing extra help. Cassian began tutoring Blake and eventually they ended up spending more time than intended together. Through the time they’ve known each other, Blake has come to learn about Cassian’s incredibly motivated and brutally honest personality. And amidst these qualities lies Cassian’s genuine nature—a quality that Blake admires most in a person. Now, they stay as good friends; Blake admiring Cassian’s honest and ambitious personality, and Cassian finding a sense of relief when Blake finds ways to pull him from his constant work. |

placeholder § | Bastién | Clemént | Bonfamille | § ______________________________________________________ "Not everything can be won by knitted sweaters and blazers." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: Blake has known Bastién and his family since childhood. The two of them were instilled with a rivalry ever since their family’s began to compare them. They both delve in the arts, classical music accompanied by the extreme wealth of their families has created a stigma of who is more of a golden child. Wealthy families have their way of being passive aggressive and finding new tactics to subtly improve their image—especially by belittling others. Naturally, the two families rivaled each other and used the two, Blake and Bastién, as competition. Now, as they enter the Ivy League college together, Blake has found himself to still hold on to the rivalry by habit. Perhaps things could change. |

placeholder ☯ | Devin D'Artagnan Coal | ☯ ______________________________________________________ "It’s people like Devin that really help to open your eyes—this guy’s got some serious talent." | R E L A T I O N S H I P D E T A I L S: While the two don’t seriously hangout with one another, Blake has found himself admiring him from a distance frequently. Devin has won over Blake’s accreditation through fighting such adversity and honing his talent despite his predicament. It really makes Blake begin to count his blessings, and simultaneously applaud someone for rising above such a struggle. |
