## Biography

### Season 1

#### The Best is Yet to Come: Respect

Eason was mentioned by Sofia when she told Richard the fact that Eason suggested that he and she join the Elizabeth Conservatoire next year and form a pop duo which Sofia thought was a good idea, resulting in Richard being shocked with Eason telling him that he was one step ahead of him while winking cheekily.

## Appearance

Eason is a preteen boy around average height with wavy shoulder length dark grey hair with a small portion of hair being tied into a short braid which is concealed by his hair, eyebrows of matching color with his left eyebrow being cut to appear as a halved eyebrow, and blue eyes. His casual wear when he was introduced included a sports jacket with a tall white collar, a gold zipper and gold stripes running down from the shoulders and arms. The jacket had three colors that were black at the torso and arms, red around the chest area and white for the rest of the jacket. He also wore a red bandanna around his head and he carried around his earphones with him.

Before the singing competition started he donned a loose long-sleeved blue sweater with a high-collared black shirt underneath, black shorts, white stockings and red shoes. He still wore his bandanna along these.

During the singing competition Eason had his hair completely slicked back to reveal his forehead with one strand of hair falling over his forehead and he wore a black tuxedo suit over a black vest and white dress shirt with a red bow tie. He did not wear his bandanna when participating in the singing competition. However during the finals of the singing competition he wore the same formal attire except that he changed his bow tie to a red necktie.

In his mentioned and cameo appearance in The Best is Yet to Come he wore a red tracksuit with a white line running down the shoulders and he continued to wear his trademark red bandanna on his head.

## Personality

When first introduced, Eason was shown to be a cheerful and flirtatious boy with the tendency to perform the finger heart gesture to the people he like, in this case it was Sofia.

However during the singing competition he was depicted with a different persona as he displayed great talent in singing and good cooperation with his teammates. Eason was also shown to be rather intelligent singing-wise as he pointed out Sofia's flaws in the competition which led her to think about her performance that did not take into consideration of her other three teammates.

In the epilogue of the book Eason evinced his crush on Sofia as he gave her his phone number as a promise of winning the finals and expressed his preference in Sofia's dressing style while mentioning that Mia's dressing style was too plain for him despite her dainty appearance.

## Abilities

### Singing

During the preliminaries of Sacred Hearts Primary School's interschool singing competition, Eason had displayed his great talent in singing as he managed to hit the highest note while singing until the performance of his group intimidated and pressurized Candy JEM. Eason was talented enough to get his team shortlisted for the finals of the singing competition.

### Sportsmanship

Although it was only shown in a brief scene, Eason displayed talent in sports, particularly in basketball. During Eason's first visit to Sacred Hearts, when two Sacred Hearts students missed their ball which rolled over to Eason, who was passing by, he tossed the ball over to the former two. One of whom commented how Eason "handles the ball like a pro".

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Meteor Shower teammates

Eason is a fellow schoolmate of Yvonne (reddish brown hair), Reia (blonde) and an unnamed ponytail brunette from their school Elite Minds Academy. The four represented their school when they joined the interschool singing competition held at Sacred Hearts as a team. All four of them were chosen due to their shared talent in singing, the fact that Eason was able to sing well together and hit high notes perfectly with his team during their performance showed how he and the three girls had proper cooperation and teamwork with one another, and had trained properly prior to the competition.

The four, despite being good teammates, had not displayed obvious signs of being friends, however. Eason did not budge Yvonne and Reia's conversation with Sofia when the two went up to mock her, and was hesitant in stopping the two unlike their ponytail teammate who did try to cease their mockery. In spite of this, Eason still praised Sofia and looked forward to her performance, showing how he had a different, more positive sentiment towards the rivalling teams unlike his teammates.

### Others

#### Candy JEM

Eason paid little to no attention to the three, although his flirtations like calling Sofia an "angel" was mistaken to be towards Mia, prompting Emilia and Joni to be wary of him since then, as the two sought to defend Mia from Eason, and were disturbed by his flirtatious nature. Joni remarked how Eason "gave her the chills", she and Emilia were noticeably tensed whenever he flirts.

Mia on the other hand was not as perturbed by the boy's attitude as Emilia and Joni, but was wary of him like her two friends also. This was shown when Eason interacted with Sofia backstage, Mia was concerned that Eason might have disturbed the spoilt princess, and went to check on her.

Eason had no particular interest in Candy JEM, especially Emilia and Joni, in any way that he could not properly recall what Emilia and Joni even looked like (the two were depicted in a caricaturized way in Eason's mind when Sofia told him the two's names). In spite of thinking Mia to be cute, Eason thought that her style was not to his taste. When he revealed this fact to Candy JEM, all of them were left flabbergasted.

#### Anthony and Richard

Anthony and Richard seldom interacted with Eason. Eason is indifferent towards the two, and was not bothered by Anthony when he told him to leave the school campus or to leave the backstage. Just like how he saw Candy JEM, Eason often ignored the two's presence and only cared about Sofia's. Both Richard and Anthony assumed Eason to be a stalker; Richard thought of how Mia (in actuality, Sofia) "seemed to attract all sorts", implying how she even attracted Eason, who Richard thought was her stalker.

When Eason finally evinced his liking to be to Sofia and not Mia, Richard was in utter shock, and emanated signs of disapproval when Eason offered her his friendship as he gave her his phone number. Ultimately, Richard was left in a blank state of mind as Anthony and Alex were concerned for him.
