Etienne - Nineteen - College freshman
So, this is Etienne, but he goes by Etty (pronounced like Eddy). His parents moved to Crystal Lake from Canada before he was even born due to job reasons, and he knows quite a bit of french, though he wouldn't say he was fluent.
Etty is a rather passive individual. Some might describe him as a doormat. He doesn't stand up for himself, and he lets things go that most other people wouldn't, or rather he tries to. Sometimes he succeeds and sometimes he just lets whatever problems he has with someone go unheard and fester. Put simply, he is not a fighter, by any means. Avoiding confrontation is pretty high up on his to-do list. He's been told by many that being so passive and not standing up for yourself isn't healthy or good for you, but he feels fine and he considers himself to be happy for the most part, so why change anything? If he absolutely needs to he will speak up for himself...or at least that's he likes to think.
Etty's entire family, including Etty himself, is a rather religious bunch of people. His parents especially. They go to church every Sunday and Etty swears that if the pope lived in the United States they would write him fan mail. Etty might not be as...enthusiastic, but he is devout. Which is why lately he has been having such a hard time. Etty has never had a girlfriend...ever, and recently his parents have started to ask when he was going to get one. The answer he gives them is "soon", but he honestly doesn't know. He wants to find a girlfriend but...he just doesn't find girls attractive in that way. He knows he should and he tries to, but he just doesn't. He has often times however found himself staring for a little too long at other guys. But that would mean he's gay, and he would have to tell his parents, and that is just not a conversation he is going to have with them...ever. So for now he's just going through life in denial, trying to make himself be attracted to women.
Because of his parent's rather strict parenting styles, Etty has some rather old fashioned views on how people should behave themselves and whatnot. For example, Etty doesn't curse. Well, he tries not to, and if he does its only once due to a surge of emotion, but he doesn't curse deliberately. He also doesn't think sex is something that should be openly discussed with everyone, people being too loud in public is something he hates, others opinions of him do affect his actions, and the list just goes on and on. So yeah, when it comes to all that stuff he can be pretty conservative, BUT HE ISN'T A STICK IN THE MUD! He likes to have fun and do fun things.(specific, i know) Sarcasm is like his best friend. And if you don't mind the fact that he's kind of a spineless jellyfish who is so far in the closet he can't see his own hand in front of his face, he's pretty great.
So I'm really open to any and all possibilities with friends , enemies, and loves, you know, within reason.
