Welp! Time to rip the bandaid off for the next character of mine!
Meet the saltiest of my Mcs, Arséne 'Ari' Desjardins!
He's a French boy, he stays using he/him throughout his life. He's normally brash and isn't afraid to say what's bothering him! Uh- but the way he places his words can be a bit rough (even for those with thick skins).
He lived in Marseille, France before coming to Golden Grove and the sudden change leaves him heavily annoyed. He does not care if you're older or younger, he'll outright says what he thinks of you- usually it's bad. He had a group of friends, but they got disconnected from the distance. He doesn't really mind though, never close to begin with.
Step 2 is where his sulky-ness mellows out, he's a lot more passive aggressive, though, it doesn't mean he hasn't thrown hands. He still misses Marseille and gets horrified whenever he pronounces things with an American accent. He's somehow naturally charismatic but also unintentionally picks on people? Struggles in most subjects in school except computer science. He also has a habit of insulting people in French.
He's contesting, unassuming, and accepting of both Qiu and Tamarack.
Initially, he was going to be less straightforward mean and more like 'oh he doesn't mean to be mean! Oh wait- no he is.'-type of mean, but I had too much fun making him be a brat straight up
