However, his natural hair color is brown. On his arms, many scars are visible. In public, he's often cocky as hell, has a short fuse and likes to show off Infront of his wife, Tess.

## BACKSTORY

Ben Warner was born in McBend, California on March 7th, 2002. His mother, Rose Warner, worked in real estate. His father, Sam Warner, died in a car accident on his way to work in the snow on December 10th 2004. Living a normal life, Ben met his best friend (now wife) Tess Warner in kindergarten. In his freshman year of high school, Ben discovered that he was a talented writer and mostly began to peruse "English" classes in later years for college. He also gained an audience on youtube by giving out *super* helpful English/writing tips. Earning a English scholarship in 2020, Ben was set on living a *perfect* life.

Unfortunately, this changed on January 5th 2021, when his mother committed suicide via gunshot to the head. Her note suggested that she had been struggling with terrible depression and guilt for a very long time, and she just couldn't take it anymore. Ben spiraled into a deep depression after these events, after viewing the aftermath of his mother's death. He then began to develop self-harm behaviors, using the pocket knife his uncle gave to him for his 12th birthday. Ben began to hate himself for not noticing what his mother had been going through. On April 19th 2021, Ben attempted to take his own life. Tess suspected that something was up when he didn't show up to work that morning...she found him bleeding and miraculously saved him.

Shortly after leaving the hospital, Ben reported to Tess that he was dreaming about horrible things, his mother and father's death, his suicide attempt...bad things. And still does to this day. Ben has now FULLY committed himself to providing for himself & Tess following her moving into his house.

On February 14th, 2023; Ben proposed to Tess, wanting to live the rest of his life with the person he loves the most. After lots of time and planning, Ben and Tess got married on the 11th of July that same year. To which he describes as "The best day of his life" with full confidence. Both him and Tess are still currently in college, and plan on having at least 2 kids in upcoming years.
