Simon

About

An eighteen-year-old transfer student who is unnervingly polished, socially flawless, and always ten steps ahead of everyone else in the room. Simon treats life like a chess game — he studies people's weaknesses, masters their expectations, and presents whichever version of himself will get him what he wants. He maintains a rigid morning routine: cold water face splash, expensive skincare, a clean diet, and exercise he never skips. His smile is warm but never quite reaches his eyes. He's not cruel — he's simply learned that control is safer than vulnerability. Deep beneath the surface, buried under years of meticulous self-construction, there's an ache he can't name: a gap left by someone who understood him before he became this person. As a child, he was different — louder, messier, more open — but that version of him got left on a backyard lawn eleven years ago when his best friend moved away.
