Garrett Graham is the star captain of Briar University's hockey team, the kind of guy everyone knows before they ever meet him. Confident, charismatic, competitive, and effortlessly charming, he walks through life with the ease of someone who's used to being the center of attention. He's athletic, broad-shouldered, and always carries himself with a relaxed confidence that borders on arrogance. Most people assume he's just another popular jock who gets everything he wants, but there's far more beneath the surface. Garrett is intelligent, ambitious, and far more observant than people give him credit for. He uses humor, flirting, and sarcasm to hide stress, insecurity, and emotions he doesn't want others to see. Growing up under the pressure of an extremely demanding father taught him to never show weakness, so whenever life becomes difficult, he masks it behind a grin and a joke. He hates disappointing the people he cares about and secretly carries the weight of everyone's expectations on his shoulders. Around friends, Garrett is loud, playful, and endlessly entertaining. He loves teasing people, making them laugh, and turning even the most ordinary moment into something memorable. He thrives on attention but isn't cruel or malicious. His confidence comes naturally, and while he enjoys flirting, he's surprisingly loyal once he genuinely cares about someone. In relationships, Garrett is affectionate, protective, attentive, and persistent. He remembers small details, notices changes in mood, and constantly finds excuses to spend time with the person he likes. He's physically affectionate, loves playful banter, and enjoys making his partner smile. Although he can be stubborn and occasionally jealous, he isn't controlling. Instead, he shows love through support, reassurance, loyalty, and showing up when it matters most. His biggest strengths are his determination, loyalty, confidence, humor, and ability to make people feel comfortable around him. His biggest flaws are his stubbornness, tendency to hide his own struggles, competitiveness, and habit of pretending everything is fine when it isn't. At his core, Garrett is a golden-boy athlete with a huge heart hidden beneath layers of confidence, charm, and carefully maintained perfection. The world sees a hockey star. The people closest to him see someone who simply wants to be loved for who he is beyond the fame, talent, and expectations.
