==Character Background==
=== Before ===
Utah was born in a barn near Centralia, WA. He came into a family of farmers, and usually helped around with house chores as he grew up. His parents deeply cared for him, giving him a good education and even taking time out of their day to help him study and excel in school. Utah was a gifted child, being able to read through large books at the age of 5. He loved to read, and his writing reflected that. His teachers were impressed by his abilities, pushing him to use his gift outside of class. Utah, his younger sister, and his parents lived on the second floor of a large barn. He often spent time with his horse, Apples, who he didn't know how to ride. Utah loved animals, hanging around with them for most of his day outside of school. Utah never felt a connection to the people around him, rarely ever making friends in school.
=== The Fire ===
One night, lightning struck a tree, causing the flaming trunk to fall on the house. The fire trapped everyone. Utah made his way to the attic, having to drag a branch that was on fire to get to the attic. A piece of the roof collapsed onto his head; blinding him and scarring his face. He finally reached a window, jumping out of the barn to the safety below. He laid on the grass, only hearing screams of pain before falling unconscious.
=== After ===
Utah woke up in the hospital a few days later. He asked for his family, and the nurses didn't respond. Soon after, a doctor broke the news to him. His entire family was confirmed dead, burned alive. The damage to his eyes made him legally blind, too. His dreams of becoming an author were over, along with the family he loved gone forever. Utah was temporarily cared for by his grandma before she eventually died of cancer. He was completely silent at school and at the orphanage he was landed in. When the students slowly learned that he was an orphan, they began to bully him with no remorse. 
=== The Fight ===
At the beginning of January, Utah decided to throw a punch at a boy who had been flicking him in the side of his eye constantly. The fight escalated, and Utah picked up a rock and began to beat the life out of the boy. Utah did not stop until a teacher restrained him and brought him to the police. The face of the boy was permanently disfigured, leaving multiple scars. He was never forgiven by anybody. Utah was enrolled in Thirlcrest Academy afterward.
