==Biography==
“Yo”
===Early life===
Connor was born on March 14th, 2003, to Greta van Roojendakkerdammer-Carrera and Chinabadam "Heehoo" Carrera, in Gouda, the Netherlands. Connor has two siblings: Gale, his older half-brother, and Payton, his older sister. 
Connor grew up in a small townhouse in Gouda, very close to the road. He grew up speaking both Dutch and English, which his father spoke a lot at home. His mother raised him and his older siblings to be independent and made them learn how to spend money wisely from a young age. This turned out to be particularly effective for Connor, as he nowadays often finds ways to do things that would otherwise cost money, such as repairing his stuff instead of replacing them, and building his own stuff out of scrap materials. 
In the first few years of his life, Connor's parents were often busy with work, and were sometimes working so late that they couldnt find time to have dinner with their family. Connor was looked after by family and acquaintances of his parents, until he started elementary school, in 2010, when his mom started staying home more. Coincidentally, this was also the same year that his oldest brother started high school.
Connor skipped group 4 in 2011, equivalent to second grade in the American school system.
====High school years====
Connor started high school in 2014. He received advice for the vwo level, but he went to do the havo level. He was a pretty smart, but unmotivated student, who easily passed each year and didn't prepare a lot for anything at all, until the fourth year, when he chose the Nature and Technology profile, just like his brother, and included the upper math level. This was harder than he expected.
In his free time, Connor liked to work out. He became a bit of a fitness fanatic and at some point visited the gym four times in one week. He also started building stuff from scrap materials he found, known examples of his work are a hammer fan and an off-road shopping cart. The hammer fan has since been taken apart for obvious reasons.
After acquiring his havo diploma in 2019, he decided to have a gap year. He spent the first two months working almost daily to earn money, although his earnings weren't amazing as he hadn't had any work experience before.In august, he traveled to Nepal and stayed for six months to "find himself".
===Life in Lower Duck Pond===
====Moving to Lower Duck Pond====
"Bro that self-discovery journey in Nepal thing is BS man, I'm telling ya I ain't learned a thing about myself other than the fact that I hate spiritual guru shit."In February 2020, Connor returned to Gouda, having found absolutely nothing new about himself. He then decided he still wanted to study. After taking all options in consideration, he decided to follow a similar path as his brother, and signed up for the engineering bachelor course at the Lower Duck University in Lower Duck Pond. To get to know the place, he moved to the small town in May already. He moved in with his brother, and slept on the couch. Living with three people in a tiny house with one bed turned out to be quite uncomfortable, becuase the sleeping area was not divided from the living area, and the couch that Connor occupied was the main seating space inside. It became problematic enough to cause sleep deprivation for all three residents, and Connor spent a lot of nights elsewhere.
At some point, Connor befriended Ernest Bergmann.
Connor only built two projects while living with his brother; First, he designed and built a monowheel from scratch, which runs on an old moped engine provided by Pete Stamper. The monowheel turned out highly succesful, and is still commonly seen on the streets of Lower Duck Pond. He also built a motorized, off-road shopping cart, similar to one he built years ago, for Luna Davis.
====Becoming a university student====
Connor moved into the Raccoon dorm at the Lower Duck University on 18 August. He is now his second semester and delivers average results.
==Personality==
Connor is an extremely laid back, chill guy who could be described as being a "gym bro". He doesn't really care about other people's problems, unless he knows them well, and he has become very good at pretending to be interested in conversations. He gets bored easily and does questionable things to pass the time, and doesn't really bother to hide this, as he often tells people he is bored. He likes doing slightly rebellious things, doesn't really care about authorities or consequences and often goes his own way. He loves memes. Connor likes to talk in a very informal manner, both on- and offline, and uses no punctuation whatsoever in any of his writing.
==Health==
*Connor has a very healthy lifestyle. He goes to the gym often, to fill his time, which results in him being very swole. He thinks people should eat and live more healthy.
*He believes practices like cleansing and using steroids "are utter bullsh*t and ya just gonna go get ripped the natural way".
* Connor thinks drinking is unhealthy.
*His favorite drink is water in a tall glass with a little parasol straw and a slice of lemon on the rim.
==Hobbies==
“I gonna build a monowheel. Why, ya ask? Cause I be bored.”Connor has two main interests: inventing and working out. He enjoys building stuff, projects that generally aren't that special or mindblowing, but he enjoys them because they're cool. Some other projects were made solely "because I can". He also enjoys working out, sometimes going to the gym no less than four times a week.
==Trivia==
*Connor is easily the most athletic person in his family.
*When he moved to Lower Duck Pond, Connor managed to bring his off-road shopping cart with him. How he achieved this is unknown, as items like this are generally seen as unsafe and would most likely not be permitted in a plane.
