Lester

**Lester Ridley** is a coach created by **GrandTheftAutoHero (SFPR)**.

## Backstory

Lester wasn't born at the hospital, instead, Ms. Ridley gave birth to him in a train, where a doctor was fortunately aboard and helped Ms. Ridley. And years later, Violet was born, however she was born at a discotheque.

He, Violet and their parents lived in a really poor apartment at New Orleans in a really spooky street featuring many homeless, prostitutes, and drunkards.

He was physically and emotionally abused by his father who was alcoholic and has a bad temper. And mostly sends him to sleep outside in the cold whenever he gets unjustifiably punished.

His mother has never shown any signs of love or affection for him either, she even looks down upon her son, she was mostly spending time working at a strip club as a stripper. However 70% of the money she collects goes to the bar her husband loves going to in order to make sure it doesn't go out of business.

Lester used to have childhood friends, but however all of them at one point have left him for really selfish reasons, leaving Lester to be all alone, each of them leaving him at a certain stage.

He has known Herbert too from his school, but didn't hang out much with him.

The first time one left was due to during the high school dance, Lester has unintentionally gotten an erection when dancing with his dance partner, resulting in his dance partner slapping him and having him become a laughing stock during the school dance, which even resulted in his mother laughing at him while his father beats him more and considered him a "pervert" when he got home. And thus it resulted into Lester having venustraphobia.

At one point, a domestic violence between his Mr. and Ms. Ridley involving his alcohol addiction caused Mr. Ridley to run away from home and he eventually got killed by an incoming train.

Ms. Ridley eventually had passed away from strong cases of cancer inside her heart. Leaving Lester in charge of the home, however the damage was already done and he and his sister Violet were already ruined with what they have went through. Leading Lester to gain interest in Heavy Metal, Punk Rock and Grunge Rock at one point.

## Current Story

Eventually Lester and Violet decided to move and have found themselves to find a home in #bad-habits-streets, however they mostly ignored the first time Amber had made her sign there and just moved on. They wanted to see the building at one point, leading them to go there, and Violet decided to climb, but then she made an oopsie and hung on the edge, about to fall to her death, Lester ran inside and asked Azzedine, Marwan and Tawfik for help, at first they found him weird and didn't know him, but eventually Azzedine has built up a friendship with him and his sister had gained interest into Azzedine. Marwan and Tawfik have since been fond of Lester as well. Eventually leading Lester into having new friends.

## Personality

Unlike the more quiet and calm Violet. Lester here is more of a grizzly bear, as he is unhinged, unbalanced, unpredictable, rash, foolish, tough, wisecracking, rebellious in a good way, has a weird sense of humor and has the darkest thoughts. But however despite his weird actions he can make;

He is not a mean person at all, there are lots of times times he has shown love and care towards the ones that are truly loyal to him, such as Azzedine, Ridouan, Samira, Violet, Cartier, Tiffany and Ashley.

However he fears that eventually he'll lose all of the people he currently shows love and care about considering that it has happened to him before and believes it to be a legitimate fact of life while a piece of him also believes that it's a him problem.

His trauma at the high school dance has even caused him to suffer from venustraphobia, resulting him into being afraid of beautiful and attractive women overall.

Despite his grunge persona, he has a soft side too, which usually unleashes when he finds something that reminds him of his childhood, or whenever someone causes his soft side to come out.

He seems very defensive over his sister and his friends, which was shown when Azzedine, Chahid and Ridouan almost fell in a scam.

## Friends

### Violet (sister)

Violet is his sister, during their backstory, Lester was fortunately always there for his sister and is very protective over her and shows affection to her a lot, as he usually put his hands on his sister in a protective and affectionate way. Whenever she's in danger, Lester gets concerned a lot and tries his very best to rescue her.

### Azzedine

Lester already shows respect to Azzedine after he rescued his sister, and usually is there like a older brother to him, Azzedine finds Lester odd at first, but eventually warmed up to him and appreciated him that he exposed the scam he and his brothers nearly fell into.

### Samira

Lester is shown to be completely afraid of Samira due to his venustraphobia clashing with Samira's beauty. However Samira on the other hand understands it and tries to make him to get more used to her after learning from him. Fortunately Lester doesn't hate her, as she gives him all the care and compassion that his parents have never given him. Whenever Lester interacts with her, he mostly looks at the ground and feels a bit anxious. Seeing her interactions with Bom-Bom and his friends brings him to a soft side. However this friendship seems platonic, and is currently unknown if they (will) develop romantic feelings for each other.

### Ridouan & Chahid

Being Azzedine's brothers, both of them were arguing with Azzedine and questioned him about his new lifestyles, until Lester popped up, even meeting Ridouan and Chahid, and came to them because he wanted to know Azzedine more and was new in town and wanted to join along with what they were planning since he was bored, as it was a swap meet that Youssef set up for them, as they thought they'd obtain a PlayStation 5 console. Lester went with them, Chahid and Ridouan found Lester weird at first. The deal seemed to go well, and they were about to leave, until Lester wanted to see if the copies in there were physical, the other party refused and Lester forcibly tried to grab it out of his hands until books fell of it, exposing the scam. All of it angered Lester and the Chraibi brothers, resulting into a huge brawl which Lester and the Chraibi brothers have won and they made it out alive.

Due to that, Ridouan shows respect and loyalty towards Lester, and Chahid finds him cool. Since then Ridouan and Lester have mostly been interacting and calling each other, even Ridouan being fine with hanging out with him and doing friend activities together.

### Cartier, Tiffany & Ashley

Through Azzedine, he met the Malibu Bitches, they eventually learned about his venustraphobia, but it also had Lester confirm that he doesn't have a problem with women looking attractive, as he believes they still have the rights for such. The Malibu Bitches find the guy cool and they like him.

## Enemies

### Shab South #the-town Hustlers & Youssef

After the incident that happened when Lester indirectly exposed the scam they had planned for him, Lester shows dislike for that group and still remembers that they have almost scammed some minors. Lester remains suspicious of Youssef, however Youssef had put the blame on Lester, mistaking him for a girl and blamed him for ruining up the swap-meet, but so far denied having set up the scam.

### Nadir

Out of all the idiots Lester had met, he finds this one the worst of them all, they first met at a lounge when Parallax had manipulated Samira, as Samira was in a romantic relationship with Nadir, both of them brushed Lester off, later on, he came back and brought Samira back, which resulted into hostility between the two.

## Trivia

* When the coaches were leaked on the sheet at a behind the scenes shot, GrandTheftAuto (SFPR) had mistaken P2 to be a female, and had the coach to be set as a best friend of Violet and nothing else. However after the routine was revealed and GTAH saw P2 as masculine, he eventually had new plans made for him.
