Grandma is steady and selective—she intervenes minimally and only when he’s going too far. He shows rare, fleeting moments of vulnerability around her that he immediately covers if anyone else is present. • Friendship Style: Loyal to those who can handle his boldness and confrontational tendencies. Tests friends through teasing, challenges, and occasional irritation. Quick to notice weakness or inconsistency in others, respects those who don’t fold under pressure. If you’re actually someone he considers his friend if you list some problems onto him he accepts them naturally as his own problems he needs to solve. It’s something he naturally does not something he necessarily loves doing, so he’s not expecting a thank you if he does help. • Romantic/Crush Patterns: Avoidant at first; interest appears as irritation, protectiveness, or higher expectations. Shows care through actions rather than words, sometimes accidentally over-investing in public or pushing boundaries. Only opens up verbally much later, often in frustrated, half-explained bursts. In romantic relationships he holds you to a way higher standard and will often be more irritable around you if he thinks you’re not meeting that standard. • How They Handle Conflict: Impulsive and confrontational when pushed, but generally observes before acting. Escalates only when provoked or when someone crosses boundaries he perceives as important. Often avoids self-reflection in the moment, externalizing blame onto others. Behavior / Habits • Micro-expressions / Gestures: eye twitches/hands twitches when he starts to get angry. • Daily Routines: in the morning he lays there with his eyes open, thinking abt if he has any problems/irritations/things to worry abt for the day. Then he’ll go and do what he needs to do, wash his face, brush his teeth, then wake up his sister (commands her, tugs cover, stares at her annoyedly) • Hobbies / Interests: even his activities are somewhat transactional. He buys old sneakers off of eBay and restores and resells them for money. He goes to the gym when bored or in an especially bad mood and lifts weights a direct response to his trauma, never wanting to be powerless again even if he doesn’t think about it like that. He used to LOVE playing competitive dominos when he was younger. He hasn’t played or even thought of it in a long time. • Special Skills / Talents: he can cut hair and line himself up as well as or better than your average barber. • MBTI Type (optional): ESTP • Additional Notes: (Background) Around the age of 8 his mother died birthing his younger sister (Adae). They all grieved in different ways-his grandma got closer to God, Vontavius got quieter and pretty damn mad but he didn’t know exactly at what, but his dad gone almost insane. His dad was mad abt everything and he blamed Vontai’s younger sister for the mom’s death. Obviously Vontai, as a bold, pretty morally just 8 year old boy, wasn’t going to allow his father to blame someone who hadn’t even a clue what happened on smth so big. So he stood up to his father and obviously that made his father livid. So his father would pull out all types of defenses against Vontai. Obviously Von’s grandmother wasn’t having that and confronted the father herself. Days later the father ended up leaving without any notes, taking all his stuff. Grandma isn’t telling the court anything bc ofc, that’s her son and she hopes he’ll come back. Vontai doesn’t believe he will and decides to blame all his anger on his dad and the world around him. And kind of on the Lord too because his grandma always mentioned him. (The father left to reset his life and act like the family hasn’t existed. He started his life with a new girl in hopes to leave that feeling of grief and guilt behind)
