So! Theo!
Theo is a sophomore at Adessi hall, and he's never been shy in his classes or around campus. Everyone knows he's tempermental, proud, and opinionated. Unfortunately he's become a bit notorious in his grade after freshman year, where there was a rough adjustment period to the powershift in genders compared to everyday society. He's calmed down since then, and while he hasn't outright apologized for anything ever (he never apologizes for anything ever), most assume he's learned his lesson.
He came from an all-boys Catholic middle school, back in Detroit, and he's still a bit bitter that his older sister (who graduated the year before he attended) convinced his parents to send him to Adessi, instead of the all-boys Catholic St. Johns' Prep in Detroit his older brother graduated from. Back in middle school, with his cousins to back him up, he was de facto schoolyard bully and was making a good amount (for a pre-teen kid) off of blackmail (kids! amirite?), collected allowance, and lunch money. It might show.
In class he can be aloof, but he definitely keeps tabs on all gossip going around the school, even if he claims it's boring. He's a member of the debate club (there is a love-hate relationship on his actually being there), but is otherwise too caught up in keeping his grades flawless to bother with anything else. He has a tendency to act older than he really is, and between his RIDICULOUS self-confidence and his flawless wardrobe, he pulls it off extremely well. I see you all waiting to pinch his cheeks no don't even try it
Theo is careful whenever he meets someone new, and if he's being as polite and friendly as possible, you've just been branded as Useful, and once you stop being Useful you're going to be dropped. Unless you're a polite and respectful girl, or you're as harmless as Locrine, or as much as a science/tech nerd as he is on his off time, you'll probably never see him in his rare, RARE moments where he fully lets his guard down; earning that level of comfort from him is difficult.
