## **Personality and Traits**

Patrick is toxic, possessive, controlling, strict, selfish, menacingly authoritarian, narccisistic, image-conscious and a devout, deeply religious Christian. He is also manipulative, deceitful, sexist, homophobic and unscrupulous, willing to get his own children involved in crimes just to keep them in line with his religious beliefs and keep them under his control. He is so selfish and narccisistic that he holds his own feelings and beliefs above the needs of everyone else- even his own children's. He appears to be calm and collected, and speaks in a menacing manner.

## **History**

#### **Episode 7**

In Episode 7, It is revealed by Maya that as a result of Patrick's religious stance and beliefs, he is completely disapproving of the sexual relationship between his daughter Maya and her girlfriend Josy, to the point of willingness to get his daughter entangled in financial crimes just to have his way. He also has almost complete control over Maya's life and future, to the point of holding it hostage. Patrick co-signed a student loan with Maya with no assurances on his end of her educational future, and after this was done, he had in fact tricked her, and told her that if she continued to see Josy, then he would withhold the funds necessary to pay the loan off. With Maya's lack of personal funds, this would set Maya up for committing credit fraud, as she would not be able to pay back the owed tuition. As a result Maya has been looking for alternate ways to fund her college tuition, to escape her father's financial clutches and toxic influence.

In Episode 7, Maya, Josy and Tremolo are making their way back to Maya and Josy's dorm, and when Maya goes to unlock the door, she notices that the door is unlocked, meaning that Patrick- the only other person who has a key to Maya's dorm- is in there, completely unannounced. Tremolo grabs Josy, pulls her out of sight and gives her a key to the DiK's mansion, and she scurries off out of the dorm.

Patrick stands in the dorm in complete darkness- no lights turned on while Maya greets him. Suspicious, paranoid and un-trusting of his own daughter, he asks where she was in these late hours, what kind of an event it was and why she is dressed in the fairly revealing dress she is wearing. He tells her to stop wearing it, as he feels it is too revealing and he doesn't want boys to "get the wrong idea" about "his" daughter. Afraid of him, she disingenuously agrees. Patrick then asks about Maya's new room-mate, as the sheets were changed since last time. Convinced that she has a new room-mate that is potentially Josy, Patrick inquires further, and Tremolo, over-hearing this and fully aware of the ramifications towards Maya that could occur if Patrick were to find out about Josy living there, comes in and switches the lights on, announcing his presence as Maya's "dorm-mate".

Tremolo introduces himself politely (or rudely, player's choice) to Patrick. Patrick then switches his attention to Maya, asking why he didn't tell her about co-ed dormitories- and she lies by telling him she didn't know either. Patrick then condescendingly passes Maya off and asks Tremolo if he is living in the dorm with Maya, and Tremolo replies he is (he isn't anymore). Patrick then says that Tremolo doesn't strike him as a "girly" boy, and inquires about the pink sheets. Already irritated with Patrick, he passes off the sheets as cheap and easily buy-able, as college is expensive. Although he admires Tremolo's apparent "frugality", Patrick doesn't buy this, and and tells Maya that he wants to arrange alternative accomodations for her- only "wanting the best" for "his daughter", when in actual fact he wants to isolate Maya from Josy and any other boy whom Maya is not dating he believes will potentially violate her. Tremolo asks Patrick if he has a problem with Maya living here with him, and he indirectly says he does, and declares that a single dorm is more suitable for Maya. Patrick then leaves, acknowledging Tremolo as he does so.

## **Relationships**

### **Family**

#### **Helen**

Patrick loves his wife Helen, mother of their two children deeply, to the point where he is devoted to taking care of her, even getting into religion just to fulfill her wishes of raising her children in that way.

#### **Maya**

Patrick has a toxic, controlling and a largely unhealthy relationship with his daughter, who appears to be scared of him. He refuses to accept his daughter as lesbian or bi-sexual, and this is largely the basis of her negative feelings towards him. He does not seem to care about her thoughts and feelings, only about controlling her.

#### **Derek**

Patrick's relationship with his son is not a particularly good one, as Derek is against his treatment of Maya. Derek has not mentioned Patrick once to MC, Derek supports his sister un-conditionally and Derek's hard-partying college life is likely a release from the toxic influence of his father.

### **Main Character**

Patrick seems to find MC un-threatening, as MC is largely polite towards him. They have only had one interaction, but Maya's description of Patrick's demeanor when she had dinner at her family's house was that of greater trust, as Patrick seemed to be impressed with MC thanks likely to his friendship with Derek and Maya, and was hoping Maya was dating him and not Josy; whereas MC's feelings towards Patrick are almost entirely negative.

### **Josy**

Patrick hates Josy, because he sees her as the reason why he cannot have the kind of control over Maya that he craves, and because Josy is bi-sexual.
