Marcus Williams

Michael Thompson

Melody Thompson

Korianna Zikyen

## Personality

Marcus usually tries to have a welcoming demeanor, with the amount of time hes been working in retail, you'd think he would have it nailed by now. His tone of voice and facial expressions dont always give off a friendly attitude. His friends understand his intentions. Marcus has a hard time keeping it together in the face of anger, often lashing out in response. If he ever feels as though someone has wronged him, despite his family and friends suggestions, he doesn't forgive and forget.

## Relationships

### Dakota Williams

Marcus's husband. Marcus didn't feel right about their relationship given their differences, age wise and others. 22 years is a long time for people to get used to eachother. Marcus really appreciates everything Dakota does for him and has a hard time showing it.

### Hayden Thompson

Marcus's brother. Practically raising him, the two are close. After moving away from their mother and being left with only their dad, Marcus had to take care of his brother pretty much his entire life.

### Melody Thompson

Marcus's niece. Melody had a hard time being able to trust Marcus, but he always made sure she was comfortable around him. The two have fun with each other now. Melody occasionally spends weekends at his house.

### Jen Cortez

Marcus's best friend. The two innitially met in his first interview at the grocery store at 17 when she was 19 and working under her father, who ran the store. The two grew close during his first year there, often being eachothers confidants.

## Style

Marcus stopped growing at 17, so allot of his clothes are from that time period. His wardrobe was slowly changed as Dakota would buy him clothes. Marcus gets overheated easily so unless its extremely cold, he tends to stray away from coats or sweaters. He has allot of old band shirts, which he mostly wears to sleep or if he's just running errands. Asside from his annoyingly orange work uniform, Marcus usually prefers nuetral and darker colors.
