- - - -personality- - - -

<sup>LIKES: music, gals, electronic devices, driving, drawing, coconut cream pie, fruits—especially grapes and strawberries—being alone

FEARS: being stabbed to death, heights, clowns
GOALS: graduating, figure out what to do in life
SECRET: he's been known for stealing.
PERSONALITY: Nate doesn't always come off as friendly. People usually find him more unapproachable and shy or awkward. Yes they are partly right in their judgments, but there is another side to this boy that most don't see because they don't take the time. He can't just open up to you right away so he usually comes off as shy and innocent, which in his case is kind of perfect. But after you get to know him really well and vise versa, he'll most likely show more of his more likable self: friendly and cheerful, sometimes a bit odd. However, he has a temper and it gets to him sometimes so watch out for that and don't tick him off super bad. Nate is also a pretty stubborn guy and likes to think what he says is right and everyone else is wrong. His other more people-liked side makes strong attempts to crush that part of him but it is simply no use because that's just the way he is.

Girls find him quiet charming and funny, which is true. He doesn't have much trouble with the ladies, although sometimes his stubbornness and whatnot can turn some away. For some reason, Nate tends to get along better with the gals, so most of his friends are girls with a few guys that he actually decides to get along with.</sup>

<sup>HOMETOWN: Port Charlotte, Florida
MOTHER: Abigail Erickson - 45 - marine biologist
FATHER: Mark Erickson - 48 - police officer
SIBLINGS: Stefan Erickson - 22 - college
OTHER: eh....
PETS: Jasper - dalmatian (pup-click, grown-click
HISTORY: Nate was born to his mother and father, a few years after his older brother, Stefan. He was a very good baby: ate whatever was fed to him, let anyone change his diaper, hardly ever cried, et cetera. Pretty much one of those babies that the parents love because he's so good and not fussy, not much to worry about, but also boring because he didn't really do anything.

Finally once he was old enough to start talking, Stefan thought it would be funny to teach him swear words and stuff. Not a very good idea because Nate copied and remembered everything he heard/said. Everything. Soon enough, Mom and Dad caught this and made quick attempts to teach him it was wrong, although the boy didn't listen very well. Once he turned four though and started preschool, he quickly learned no meant no and some words were not to be said when he received a slap to the hind-end and had to sit in the time-out chair.

On his sixth birthday, his parents got him a dalmatian pup whom Stefan told him to name Jasper. The two were best buddies, most of the time, one clinging to the other. That was the only pet they ever had for Abigail and Mark thought that one was just enough, especially the when you saw the size the once small pup grew to be.

Getting up into those middle school and high school years was hard for Nate. Living up to his parents expectations and also his older brother with his book smart genes wasn't the easiest thing to do and very stressful. After a while, he gave up trying to do better than his brother because he was different. He didn't care anymore. Plus, he knew Stefan was the favorite anyways, he couldn't change that. Stefan had always been the better one. At least in their parents eyes. Nate could hardly stand being home even. He usually left in the midst of doing his homework at the table and went for a walk or drove around.

In tenth grade, he sort of just quit altogether and decided to screw it because there was absolutely no point to any of it in his mind. So instead of paying any attention as to what the teacher was lecturing the class about, he would doodle in his notepad that should've been used for assignments and notes and rough drafts for essays. This was what got him into drawing. He was set up to take a drawing class so he became sort of excited about it, to show off his true skills. Although, once he arrived to the room he learned there was a whole lot more to drawing than he thought. He didn't think it had to be so complicated, but figured if he wanted to be with the best, he had to learn how to be one of the best. In this class was where he met a group of friends, who were probably not the best choices in companions. The swore, stole, did drugs, drank, etc. Soon they had poor Nate caught up in the whole mess of it and before he knew it, he was participating in all these wrong activities too. His parents noticed his slacking and so did his teachers, especially the art teacher, Ms. Kim.

One day, Ms. Kim kept him after class and had a chat with him. About his choice in friends, activities, grades, home life, the works. He realized he had an easy time talking to her, the words just endlessly flowing out of his mouth as he vented everything to her. He's still getting over everything, but until he's completely better, his parents and Ms. Kim thought it best to send him to this boarding school that they were told of. He had no idea what or where it was exactly but he figured they were right. After all, they are the adults right?</sup>
