Zachary Levine

???(Dad)

## **Personality:**

Zach is an extremely confident kid with a lack of common sense. He doesn't really care about school, but he has an extremely high IQ. He just has never had the motivation to try. He is extremely good at sports, and is banking on them to get him into college. You wouldn’t know it, because of his grades, but he is inherently smart. He just doesn’t try at school, he challenges the teachers to a point where they usually will ask him to leave.

Zach is known to be a player around school, he's straight to the point and is clear that he is not looking for a relationship. Zach knows how to be a good person, he just chooses to not be. He makes bad decisions and jerk moves that push people away.

## **History:**

Zach grew up in Oregon with his two mothers, Zach had a relatively normal life and was always supported growing up. His mothers gave him everything and always put him first, he was their whole world.

Marlo, Zach's biological mother, was 17 when she had him. Marlo was trying to be someone she wasn't, someone that was accepted by society and by her parents. Marlo was with her boyfriend at the time, still trying to ignore her true feelings. She wanted to be 'normal' and be accepted by her parents.

When Marlo realized she was pregnant she no longer wanted to hide from her true self, and even though she had stayed in a hetero relationship, her parents still didn't accept her. Marlo knew that no matter what she did, her parents would never be happy, and Marlo would never be happy if she didn't start being true to herself.

Marlo picked up and moved to Oregon after getting her GED, shortly after she met Josephine and Josephine treated Zach as her own without a second thought.

Josephine grew up in an accepting home and was very confident in her sexuality. She never thought she would become a mom at 19, but she fell in love with Marlo and Zach very quickly. Marlo and Josephine got married 3 years later at 21 and 22 and they have lived happily ever after.

Zach was incredibly close to his moms, and has never really wondered about his dad. Josephine and Marlo would always refer to him as a sperm donor, making his father pretty much irrelevant.

Zach had a close knit group of friends growing up, Josephine introduced Marlo and Zach to a playgroup when they moved to town and Zach had kept up with those friends through the rest of his life.

When Zach was in middle school, he got into a fair bit of trouble. His best friend Colby Katzan had moved away to California at the start of middle school. Zach had to start new friendships and happened to fall into the wrong crowd. It started as small things, taking apart the teachers chair, locking the principal in their own office, but it slowly became more destructive. Zach took things too far and was officially kicked out of private school, with a lot of begging and string pulling from Josephine, she was able to get Zach into Silver Oaks on the contingency that he would stay out of trouble, and bring their sport teams up a division. Zach didn't want to agree to this, but he didn't have much of a choice and he didn't want to further upset his parents. Zach joined Silver Oaks his Freshman year, and has been doing just enough to get by in his classes and has kept most of his focus on his sports.
