[color=676FA5]Appearance Details[/color]
[list][*][b]Hair:[/b] Cael’s touchably soft, shaggy hair has been chemically altered since basically forever (a.k.a. early middle school). Cael’s locks are bleached to a pale blonde color that he often temporarily dyes himself to appear any number of pastel shades. Mint green, powder blue, and soft lavender appear to be his favorites, which he frequently switches between to suit his ever-shifting moods. Currently, his hair is a light lavender purple.
[*][b]Eyes:[/b] Cael has heterochromia — both of his [url=https://imgur.com/lwectln]eyes[/url] have underlying grey tones, but his right is greenish while his left is more blue.
[*][b]Height:[/b] 5’7
[*][b]Body Type:[/b] Slim but toned from many years of dance and other activities
[*][b]Clothing Style:[/b] Pastel colors, loud prints, cozy sweaters, black skinnies, floral designs, patterned tank tops, and punk boots. Cael’s sense of fashion is a little all over the map, yet it is undeniably fashionable. He wears what he wants when he wants, and he boldly owns his flamboyant style choices.
[*][b]Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:[/b] Virgin skin… but considering earlobe piercings.[/list]
[color=676FA5]Personality Traits[/color]
[indent]If one were to divide people into seasons based on personality, Cael would be the embodiment of spring. On the average day, he is [color=676FA5][b]cheerful[/b][/color] and [color=676FA5][b]energetic[/b][/color], with one of the most contagious laughs that you have ever heard. The old saying goes that you cannot have May’s flowers without first April’s showers, and similarly, Cael is as prone to bouts of melancholy as he is to his more… manic episodes. His mood is as shifting and [color=676FA5][b]temperamental[/b][/color] as springtime weather.

At a young seventeen years old, Cael is relatively [color=676FA5][b]guideless[/b][/color] and woefully [color=676FA5][b]naïve[/b][/color] in terms of what the “real world” is like. This is partially because Cael spends a fair amount of time in his own head, so instead of being shackled by the restraints of reality, Cael is boundlessly [color=676FA5][b]imaginative[/b][/color] and full of fresh ideas, with an unyielding desire to learn and grow as much as possible. Cael is also inherently [color=676FA5][b]meddlesome[/b][/color], always getting into other people’s business, and is intrigued by all things [color=676FA5][b]gossipy[/b][/color]. It’s all in good fun, of course! Cael doesn’t [i]intend[/i] to harm anybody with gossip, he just likes to entertain the tales that waft around the halls of Rosefell High… and maybe, fan the flames, just a little bit.[/indent]
[color=676FA5]Biography[/color]
[indent]Cael Crawford, like many students of Rosefell High, had a relatively modest upbringing. Cheryl Murphy and William Crawford were high school sweethearts that grew up in Ohio, went to school in Ohio, and have lived in Ohio ever since. The Crawfords got married shortly after Cheryl graduated from Columbus State University and landed her first teaching job at Rosefell Elementary, while Bill had went to work as a logger straight out of high school. Cael came into the world not even two years after their nuptial union, and the boy has shaken up their otherwise cookie cutter, traditional lives ever since.

Cael was far from a normal boy growing up. He frequently talked to his imaginary friends in the closet, under his bed, and most importantly, in the backyard. He spent the majority of his childhood playing outdoors, rolling in the grass and soaking up as much sunshine as he could in the dreary Ohio climate. He was an indecisive child, unable to pick a single hobby or activity to practice — he sang, he danced, he played instruments, and he participated on sports teams. The only activity that consistently stuck with him then and continues to stick with him now, is dance. His boundless energy and easily distracted mind earned him a diagnosis of ADHD as a child, but that mattered little to him. Cael was as happy as could be, though the same was not true for the Crawford parents.

Children with the endless font of energy associated with ADHD often begin acting out in class. Cael was no exception to this, often finding himself in the role of class clown — disruptive and meddlesome. Cael endured many a day of detention and even the occasional suspension, which really stressed his mother’s pride as a teacher. She had raised her boy better than that! And then, of course, came highschool, when Cael’s experimentation with vibrant and flamboyant self-expression became experimentation with sexuality. Cael would sneak out at night to be with girls and… eventually, boys as well. That last part was what stressed his literal lumberjack of a father the most. He had raised his boy better than that!

With all that said, the Crawford home is a loving one at the end of the day. His parents accept him for who he is even if they don’t approve of his behaviors. They just wish he could be more [i]normal[/i], and well-behaved. On the flipside, Cael just wishes that they’d give him more freedom to fly. All he needs is to find his wings so he can soar up and out of this dusty old midwestern city. Where to? … not a fuckin’ clue![/indent]

[color=676FA5]Misc.[/color]
[indent][list][*] Cael works part time as a barista at [i]Plouf[/i], a cafe and patisserie on the wealthier side of town known for its wannabe french decor and insufferable clientele. The java drinks, teas, and pastries are actually fantastic though, so it’s worth it. Cael actually really likes his job, especially the discounted bakery treats to quell his insatiable sweet tooth, and the free coffee perks, not that he needs the extra energy.
[*] Recently obtained a fake ID with the intent to go clubbing, as a nightlife of dancing and grinding while covered in glitter and sequins seems like the best place for Cael to bloom.
[*] Cael is the number one supporter of the Rosefell High theater department and participates as the male lead in nearly every production — despite it being WOEFULLY underfunded and kind of lame as a result.
[*] The Liberty High kids joining Rosefell is a very exciting prospect for Cael. 1) There is about to be an incredible influx of super hot future sugar daddies, and his body could [i]not[/i] be any more ready. 2) All these trust fund kiddos are gonna come with their rich parents, which could mean extra money for the goddamned theater and arts departments!

[color=676FA5][b]“Rae is the peanut butter to my jelly. The can to my spam. From backyard hooligans, to mischief makers, hair dye buddies, pastel punk prowlers... we’re ride or die, man. We’ve been best friends for forever, since we live right down the street from each other. Rae used to come over all the time and we would go on all kinds of fantastical adventures together in the backyard. To this day, she still swears that the faeries we talked to were real but, I dunno, man. I mean… maybe? They say magic is just science we don’t understand yet, right? Anyway, before you ask, because everyone ALWAYS asks, no, we’re not dating. Yes, we hold hands sometimes. Yes, we go to school dances together occasionally. Yes, we taught each other how to kiss in middle school. But it was just like… [i]educational[/i], ya know? Honestly, I think everyone should practice kissing with someone they trust to give them constructive criticism. It’s way better than embarrassing yourself with a potential romantic partner you’re trying to impress. I’m just saying...”[/b][/color]

[color=676FA5][b]“Sean is a hero and a national treasure, honestly. He has come in so clutch when it comes to Rosefell’s dismal budget for theater. Between his skills with a needle and thread, and the combined efforts of our motley crew of fellow cast members’ creativity… we make it work on a dime. Also, his personality is just kind of contagious. Once I got to know Sean, I was glad that I got to call him a friend. I think a lot of people assume that we aren’t tight because we sometimes compete for the lead male role in the school’s productions, but it’s not like that. We’re chill and supportive of each other, always. And those insults everyone talks about us yelling at each other in the halls? They’re just lines to musicals, and these plebeians don’t get our dignified references. Their loss, not ours. Also! Anime nights with Sean, Rae and I are the shit. Y’all are really missing out on the pocky and kawaii vibes.”[/b][/color]

[color=676FA5][b]“They say you never forget your first, and boy, how could I? Minty and I dated for a while when I was trying to be straight or... bisexual, at the very least. She's beautiful, creative, fun — I loved her, for sure. Not past tense, I still do love her... just not in the romantic sense. You see, our relationship went to where exploratory teenage relationships sometimes do and by the time we both had our clothes off and hormones raging... well, it felt rude to call it off. I knew right away that pussy wasn't for me, but like, I couldn't hurt Minty's feelings. So, instead, I gave her what will probably be the worst sexual experience she's ever had. We talked about it the morning after and it was then that I came out for the first time. She... said that she already kind of knew. We decided then and there on her bed that we would never talk about the awkward sex again, and instead we would keep up our charade of a relationship until we could have the most dramatic breakup that Rosefell has ever seen. There was screaming, cursing, I think I might have even flipped a lunch tray of food for dramatic effect? It was an elaborate act that we performed in the cafeteria for our entire class to see. Let me tell you, it was the [i]hottest[/i] bit of gossip for about a week or so, until I fully came out as gay and everyone saw the act for what it was. Boy, that was a blast. Nowadays, Minty and I are still tight — prowling the halls for boys to put under our spell, all so we can swap stories and dick pics from our conquests. Sometimes we even make a guessing game out of it!”[/b][/color]

[color=676FA5][b]“I got to know Rico through Rae, because they're close. For a while, we were just friends. But I mean, come on, Rico is Rico, and I'm far from the type of person that would resist Rico's charms. I live for the dark, handsome musician type, so I flirted back. One thing led to another and Rico and I ended up hooking up. It was a fantastic experience and neither of us have any regrets, but we decided to cut it short at that one experience... for Rae's sake. We both know how highschool relationships can go, and we wouldn't want to put Rae in between us in the event that things might go sour... so we're just friends now. Not even the type "with benefits", just friends... and Rae still doesn't know what happened on the night of our "Disappearance". Some mysteries just should not be solved! ;]”[/b][/color]

[color=676FA5][b]“Ah yes, Mr. Black Eye Coffee. I don't know his name, but he comes into the cafe most of the days that I'm working. He's the quiet, mysterious type. I think he is some type of businessman, because when he doesn't have his nose buried in a gothic horror novel, he's working on his laptop sorting through spreadsheets and the like. Whatever his job is, he is one hundred percent daddy material. I'm glad to have the eye candy around, it makes the shifts go by faster. Plus, I love making him smile by teasing him in the rare occasions when he orders a blueberry muffin with his coffee. And don't get me started on the days he wears his glasses... ugh, yes [i]please[/i].”[/b][/color]
