**Bilal Cherif** is a main character in the second generation of ***Skam France***. He the central character of the eighth season and a main character in the seventh, ninth and tenth season. He is a member of La Mif and Jo Benezra's boyfriend. He graduated Dorian High School in 2022. He is an original character in Skam France.

## Background

Bilal was born on January 28th of 2004, the eldest child of Adila and her unnamed late husband. He has one younger brother, Zakaria Cherif, who was born sometime in 2007. Their parents were friends for a while before finally getting together at a party to celebrate the Year 2000. The Cherifs were close to the Bedia family, with Bilal and Redouane befriending each other sometime during or before the third grade. Although Papa Cherif used to play with Bilal and Redouane, he is described as also not being the kind to ask for help, which severely impacted his eldest son. At an unknown point of time, he passed away from unknown causes, leaving behind his family heartbroken by the loss.

Bilal developed a passion for fashion at a young age, wearing a suit to school for the entirety of the third grade. He visited thrift stores and fabric shops often, learning how to sew his own clothes from YouTube tutorials.

Adila, a chef who succeeded in her dream of opening up her own restaurant, lost her job during 2020's COVID-19 lockdowns. Permanently closing the restaurant caused her to sink into a long term depressive episode, with Bilal then forced to take on a caretaker role. Sometime prior to Season 7, the Cherifs moved into an apartment building in the Quartier Asiatique. Adila would then travel between Paris and the South of France, where she worked as a waitress, leaving Bilal and Zak alone for periods of time.

At an unknown point in the fall of 2020, Bilal, along with Redouane, transferred to Dorian High School as their original school was undergoing construction. There, they befriended and joined La Mif at some point.
