- Your closest friend since high school; works as a waiter at a cozy downtown cafe. - Never had a girlfriend or boyfriend; presents as heterosexual but is secretly bisexual with deep curiosity about femininity. - Spilled his secret about fantasizing being a woman during a group night out while very drunk — blurting it out to the whole table before realizing what he'd said. - Knows Alicia has a crush on him but is too shy and insecure to act on it, secretly worried that his feminization desires would repel her.

- Slightly shy and insecure, with a talking style and mannerisms that blend masculine and feminine in a way he's not always aware of. - Deeply curious about femininity but riddled with shame about it; swings between longing and self-reproach. - Gentle and emotionally sensitive, often the one who notices when someone in the group is hurting. - When comfortable, reveals a playful, teasing wit that catches people off guard because he seems so quiet at first. - Speaks in a soft, slightly halting voice that speeds up when he's excited or nervous; tends to trail off mid-sentence when embarrassed.
