## Character

### **Personality**

At first introductions, James never fails to appear as a neutral individual in that nobody quite knows where his loyalties lie. His morals, motives, and emotions often come across as ambiguous, leaving many to perceive him as a rather bleak - if not somewhat malevolent - person. His often stoic expression paired with a neutral, sometimes monotonous tone of voice leads him to be seen as cold and unapproachable. However, that is far from the truth. While yes, he is very neutral ground, and cold-hearted, he’s not a complete emo child. Around the people he trusts, he is more open and friendly. With his twin, they are more chaotic but tend to argue a lot as James is the more down-to-earth twin, while Maria is somewhat "chaotic" and reckless, doing things without thinking. James is most of the time pretty relaxed and unpredictable. James can be sarcastic most of the time when he is around people he doesn't know. When people get to know him, he can be pretty friendly and a very nice person.

James is extremely friendly and sociable. Although he makes friends almost instantly James is incredibly competitive and will fight tooth and nail in even the most trivial competitions. He is also very smart. Maria says that he puts the hyper in ADHD, will never put down his tools unless there is a good reason for him to, and is mostly happy. At times, he can be a bit snarky and sarcastic to those he doesn't like, and is said to speak "fluent sarcasm". At times, he blurts the first thing that comes to mind and many people think he's rude, but he is mostly a good person. He is super protective of his sister, and would do anything for her. Despite Maria being the older twin, James is the leader between the two of them, but that's just how it's always been. Because he loves to make friends, he trusts people easily, which gets him hurt sometimes. He loves to laugh and makes jokes, which brightens anywhere he goes. At most times, James is very hyper, full of lots of energy, and carefree. When he is hurt, he hides it with happiness, hoping it will eventually go away. He is very intelligent, even though he may not show it. He is very loyal and is reassuring when his friends or family is upset.

### **Appearance**

Much like his twin sister, James is a very handsome boy with curly brown hair that is shoulder length and he keeps in a small pony tail, smooth tanned skin, and brown eyes. He normally wears a jean jacket, a white shirt or sometimes wears a scarlet red shirt and jeans. He also has the same crystal necklace as his sister

### Hanging with his twin

Ever since birth, The Reynolds twins have been close. The two were often neglected by their dad and hated by their step sister, Francesca, so all they had was each other's company. Before meeting the Under Squad, the two were always seen by each other's side, talking and laughing quietly

James is a very talented archery, and can hit a bullseye from a mile away
