He loves to draw and uses all types of mediums, his favorite being pencils and markers. He loves to draw his boyfriend Kevin and make comics. He loves the song ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun.' His color is light blue. I associate him with stars and/or night. If he were an animal he’d be a black wolf.

Kevin is like my only character with no sad backstory haha. Kevin’s mom and dad are loving, and kind, while also pushing him to excel academically. His mother is a professor while his father is a nuclear physicist. His parents are very supportive of him no after what. While he had the grades to go to a private college his mother encouraged him to stay close to home for a couple of years.

Kyle’s mother left her when she was only 4. After her mother left they moved from Ireland to the United States. For years after her mother leaving her father was extremely depressed and wasn't active in her life until she became a teen. She was already not a very mentally stable child and needed support badly, without it she was left to fend for herself. She parties a lot. Her father is a mechanic. She can be very sturdy and dependable when needed, but normally she just keeps to her own and has fun. She’s the very chill mom of the group.
