Despite this, there was one person who knew him the most. Growing up in upper class London in a family that had wealth but also prestige, it was hard for Wesley to feel like he was recognized, but there was nobody who made him feel valid in a family where only the oldest mattered and who also saw him as someone who could do great things. This person was his older brother of three years, Sylvester. Sure, he had other siblings but they were younger. Sylvester was the one who he looked up to most. To his parents, Sylvester was the apple of their eye, the one who Simon and Yvonne could place all of their hopes and dreams on. Sylvester always encouraged Wesley to follow his passions, which always centered around photography. First with polaroids, which his brother gave him for his ninth birthday, and eventually giving him his first "professional" camera that the pros use. Sylvester was his best friend and his hero. So when Sylvester was taken from them suddenly, by an illness of unknown origin just three days shy of Wesley's eleventh birthday. It rocked the Cross family to its core, felt not only by his parents but his younger brother and sister, Benjamin and Cassandra. The biggest change of all, however, was not the emptiness that his passing left in their home, but Wesley becoming the focus of his parents expectations. Perhaps it was their way of coping with Sylvester's death, but it didn't change anything. Simon tossed him straight into the pit of more work than fun and Wesley's confidence was practically eliminated. He became something of an empty shell who didn't speak unless spoken to and became a well-mannered, almost timid boy, doing what his parents told him to (mainly his father). His mother gave him [I]some[/i] leeway. Thus why he was at summer camp. His mother persuaded his father to allow him to experience some fun, claiming balance was good for him or something. The only way he'd allow it, however, was if they temporarily relocated to Salt Lake City, which was roughly an hour away. So, Wesley has that cloud looming over him.[/indent] [b][color=FCE883]Digimon Partner[/color][/b] [center][url=https://wikimon.net/Pururumon]Pururumon[/url] → [url=https://wikimon.net/Poromon]Poromon[/url] → [url=https://wikimon.net/Hawkmon]Hawkmon[/url] → [url=https://wikimon.net/Aquilamon]Aquilamon[/url] → [url=https://wikimon.net/Silphymon]Silphymon[/url] → [url=https://wikimon.net/Valkyrimon]Valkyrimon[/url][/center] [indent]At his Digicore, [url=https://i.imgur.com/3iIfuz1.png]Hawkmon[/url] represents everything that Wesley could be: confident, able to speak up without being addressed, and sure of himself. But they also share a certain genuine compassion for those close to them. Hawkmon is an assuring bird-type Digimon who always makes calculated decisions based on what's best in the given situation. That being said, he is also fiercely protective over those closest to him and if they are in danger, regardless of the size of said danger, he will do everything in his power to defend them from it - which sometimes can lead to a sliver of impulses taking over.[/indent] [/indent][/indent][/color]
