## Biography

Durrell Latrell, a 15-year-old boy, was raised in Compton, California alongside his mother, father, and brother. Two years before the events of Suburbia, Durrell was a member of the street gang "Little Rascals Family" until his twin brother, Darnell Latrell, passed away. When his father, Tyrone Latrell, is incarcerated for a bank robbery, Durrell's mother, Sonya Latrell, and father agree to send him to Suburbia, California. There, he will live with his grandfather, Curtis Jackson, and attend high school, in hopes of providing him with a chance for a different future than that of his brother or father.

## Appearance

Durrell is a young teenage boy with long, black, curly hair that he wears in an afro. Like most Suburbians, he has a round head. He typically dresses in a brown dress shirt paired with a white t-shirt and black pants.

## Personality

Durrell is a laid-back and nonchalant young boy. He often displays a sarcastic demeanor and rarely shows strong emotions unless provoked. While he is adept at managing his feelings, if pushed too far, he can become dangerously violent, even capable of causing serious harm.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Sonya Latrell

Durrell shares a somewhat awkward relationship with his mother, Sonya Latrell. Whenever he interacts with her, she tends to embarrass him either through overt flirting or by openly cheating on his father.

#### Tyrone Latrell

Durrell's relationship with his father is strained. He often responds to his dad with sarcasm and generally disregards what he's saying, in an effort to avoid getting caught up in his father's shenanigans.

#### Darnell Latrell

Darnell Latrell is the twin brother of Durrell and was involved in the street gang Little Rascal Family up until his death. Not much is currently known about Darnell. He is mention a few times by other people like [[Bermit]].

#### Kevin Bates

Similar to his approach with his father, Durrell also keeps his distance from his Uncle Kevin, primarily to avoid getting entangled in his uncle's unpredictable and often absurd food-related escapades.

#### Curtis Jackson

In his relationship with his grandfather Curtis, Durrell encounters something of a roadblock to his usual sarcastic demeanor. Curtis is a no-nonsense figure who tolerates neither foolishness from Durrell nor his cousin LaMarcus. He's willing to discipline his grandson if he deems it necessary, and appears to be the only family member capable of effectively putting his foot down when it comes to Durrell's behavior.

#### LaMarcus Juniors

Among all the characters he interacts with, LaMarcus seems to annoy Durrell the most. LaMarcus aspires to be a gangster rapper despite growing up in the safest city in America, a contradiction that Durrell readily points out. Durrell attempts to impart some wisdom based on his own life experiences, but his advice consistently falls on deaf ears, further fueling his irritation with LaMarcus.

### Eugene Rogers

Little is known about Eugene, but it's clear that Durrell is terrified of him. When Tyrone mentions that Durrell will be living with his grandfather, Durrell immediately assumes he's referring to Eugene, eliciting a strong reaction of fear.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Ping Pong

Durrell exhibits a protective nature towards Pong, much like he does with others close to him. This is evident in the episode "Fruity Thugs Terrorize Suburbia," where Pong and LaMarcus are kidnapped by the Fruity Squad. Durrell takes action, beating up the squad when they threaten to turn Pong into one of their "Mitches." Durrell holds a particular respect for Pong's strong work ethic.

#### Marty Whiteman

Durrell adopts a more sensitive approach when interacting with Marty, taking into account his shut-in background and nervous tendencies. He is able to set aside his typical sarcastic demeanor to treat Marty as a genuine friend. However, when Marty falls under someone else's influence, Durrell makes an effort to steer him back on track, cautioning him that he may not be headed in the right direction.

#### Brad Burgers

As of now, Durrell doesn't appear to have a substantial relationship with Brad. He mostly seems annoyed by him, particularly when Brad disrupts people or traffic around town due to his perpetual state of being high.

#### Cyrus

Cyrus is one of Durrell's closest friends, someone he trusts implicitly. Both grew up together in Compton, California, and were members of the Little Rascals Family gang alongside Durrell's brother Darnell. In the episode "Scared Beyond Straight," when LaMarcus faces challenges in jail after being falsely accused of murder, Durrell recruits Cyrus and Chuleta to assist him, indicating a high level of trust. Cyrus frequently refers to Durrell as "Boss," suggesting a level of admiration and respect. However, their friendship appears to have somewhat distanced after the death of Darnell and Durrell's move to Suburbia.

#### Chuleta

Chuleta is a close friend of Durrell and at one point was a brief romantic interest for him. Even though Durrell has made it clear he's not interested in pursuing anything romantic, Chuleta continues to make advances. She remains loyal to him even after he departs from the Little Rascals Family following the death of his brother Darnell. Whenever she interacts with Durrell, she manages to interpret his words as an opportunity to flirt.
