From "Courageous Cowardice: Sebastian and Gabriel" by AimeChambers Name: Gabriel Jefferson Age: 16 Personality: Gabe is a little rough around the edges. He's always acting like some hot shot who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'consequence.' He skips school, refuses to do homework, and leaves his room a mess. He also refuses to acknowledge strangers, waiting for them to come to him rather he go to them. But the truth of the matter is that Gabe is trying to keep people away. Not only does he find himself insanely afraid of the dark and just about all scary stuff, he also... well, you can find that out later. He actually has a more innocent, childlike side to him that comes out whenever the sweet tooth gets his hands on some chocolate. Biography: Gabriel's father had been having bad luck ever since his wife left. He didn't quite understand enough to take care of a baby, and almost always thrusted Gabe onto his sister whenever he had a problem with the child. As he grew older and his Aunt started thinking he would be fine with his father, the place would get messier and messier until his father started getting a maid to clean up every three months. As a child he was one of the brightest kids, playing sports, staying outside all day, loving to learn. But his father went in and out of one nasty relationship after another, so much so that he got in the habit of getting hammered a lot. He would come home to a messy house and a dirty son... only to get so furious he would start breaking things. Gabe started faking his smiles and made sure to never ask for new toys, his father had a habit of throwing them all away in his rage. It wasn't until Gabe was around 12 that he started hitting him. At first, these were few in between, but as they continued to get harsher and harsher, Gabe became jaded and twisted, but something like fear always kept him from running away and leaving his father. But when Sebastian comes to live with them, his father James is seemingly always in a 'happy' mood, ready to see the twin brother that would resemble his ex-wife so much. The man had backed off when it came to hitting his son and just chose to have only a few drinks a night, choosing to not get drunk on purpose. But... in James's ramblings, Gabe had heard that his father actually despised his mother and anyone that looked like her. Both of the twins took to their mother for appearance, causing Gabe to be worried about his brother's safety. He didn't have room to care for another person, but he would at least keep Sebastian out of reach of their father's fists. Fears: The dark, the supernatural, Halloween, and birds. Appearance: Unlike Sebastian, Gabe didn't use glasses, they would get broken too easily anyway. His stature was a bit more muscular, but he also had bruise scarring all over his back and little line scars from a knife on his left side.
