==Character Background==
Bruce Donovan was born on February 6, 1991, in Florence, Italy, into a wealthy family steeped in art and culture. Growing up in this beautiful city, Bruce was surrounded by stunning architecture, which sparked his early fascination with design. However, his privileged life wasn’t without its difficulties. Despite the luxury of his surroundings, he faced personal struggles that tested his resilience and shaped his character. 
From a young age, Bruce developed a strong passion for sports, especially rugby. The sport became more than just a game to him; it was a way to channel his energy and drive. He loved the teamwork and strategy involved and found a deep sense of satisfaction on the field. 
When Bruce’s family moved to the United States, it was a big change. The transition wasn’t always easy, but Bruce saw it as a chance to start fresh. He adapted to his new life, using the experience to grow and explore new interests. 
His love for architecture stayed with him, and he continued to immerse himself in different styles and designs. It was this passion, combined with his drive for excellence, that led him to discover Thirlcrest Academy. The school’s reputation for nurturing both academic and athletic talents felt like the perfect match for him. 
As Bruce looks forward to joining Thirlcrest as an Honor Student, he carries with him the lessons from his past and a deep commitment to his passions. His journey has been a mix of privilege and challenge, but it has prepared him well for the opportunities that lie ahead.
