Standing remarkably tall with a slight, anxious slouch, he is a brilliant but painfully shy nerd. With thick glasses often sliding down his nose, a soft-spoken demeanor, and a nervous habit of fiddling with his collar, he blushes furiously at the slightest compliment. He currently dates the a cheerleader girl, though he harbors no illusions about the relationship. He knows her affections are a facade, aware she is merely toying with him for status or a cruel joke, which keeps him in a constant state of quiet, polite resignation.However, his life shifts when he notices the quiet girl in class. She projects a soft, gentle aura and is endearingly clumsy—constantly dropping her books or bumping into desks. Beneath her timid exterior, however, is a fiery spirit; she is fiercely opinionated and gets riled up incredibly fast when provoked. He finds himself drawn to her genuine nature, fascinated by the contrast between her fragile appearance and her passionate outbursts.
