[color=F2D2BD]History[/color]
[indent]Carolyn West had the unthinkable disease - Rubella, striking near the start of the pregnancy. No one was entirely sure what the effects were going to be, but upon being born, it was clear that Lucas could not see. His family weren’t on the poverty line, but paying for all the adjustments to the house for Lucas was expensive. The family are currently trying to pay to move to a slightly larger house so Lucas can have a downstairs bedroom for easier access.

The school begrudgingly agreed to pay for some alterations, such as fitting ramps to the entrances and installing a lift so Lucas didn’t have to use the stairs all the time. While most people are okay, and support this, some are resentful and see it as special treatment, especially when more of the already non-existent extra-curricular funding had to go away to find the budget shortfall. He is currently on the waiting list to get a seeing-eye dog, and hopes to get one soon. Until then he is still very reliant on people around him to be considerate.

He has a passion for music, and can play a wide variety of instruments despite not being able to see. He can feel the vibrations of each instrument and has used them alongside hearing the notes played to help him learn. Since he can’t read sheet music, he learns songs by listening to them and replicating what he has heard, giving him some remarkable memory skills. There isn’t a lot he forgets. He hopes to go onto study music at college one day.  [/indent] 

[color=F2D2BD]Extras:[/color]
[color=F2D2BD][b]Extracurricular Activities:[/b][/color] Plays in the school band when needed, but mostly prefers to learn music on his own, as he can struggle to play in large groups, down to having to hear what he plays.
