**I'm the actual cousin of aniki~, who plays as the art teacher, so... read on**

Name: Laurel Mark Morganthal (his nickname's Leo)

Gender: male

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 109 lbs

History: Leo's from Nova Scotia, a province in Canada. His parents are pretty well-to-do, and they sent him to Pondside because he showed a problem with his social skills. They hope that the presence of a relative will help him through school, as his grades weren't perfect because he was too shy even to ask a teacher for help in school. The relative mentioned in this is a cousin, and he happens to be teaching Leo's favorite subjects, art and music. Actually, Leo has a twin sister named Laura (how bad would it be if her name was Lauren?), but she stayed in Canada because she had no problems socializing whatsoever. Anyway, Leo now has to find a way to fit in in a new country and such, as well as get good grades.

Personality: Leo's antisocial and doesn't work well with others unless he knows them well (hence his parents' sending him to a school where one of his relatives was teaching). He's introverted and oftentimes if anyone begins a conversation with him he's uncomfortable and searches for excuses and openings so he can leave. He dislikes his politeness because he doesn't like to be impolite, but he just hates when someone goes on and on while he tries to find a way to escape. However, don't be fooled- he's not emo or goth (whatever that means), he's just shy. He can actually be quite friendly and nice if you finally become his friend, though.

Appearance: Leo has naturally silver-colored, messy hair, red eyes, and generally wears black, grey, white, and shades like that. He's a little shorter than average, but he's stronger than he looks. You can find his black cat Dusk somewhere close by at any time.

Sexuality: straight

Preference: Leo prefers cats to people, but if you really had to know he prefers girls (although he never had an interest in any before)

Age/Grade: 16, junior

Accepted.
