Side Chapter: Basketball Member Profiles

Here's the side chapter I promised that will give a little bit of detail about all the members of the men's basketball team. (In the "Likes" section, it is clear that they all like basketball, so I will omit that and list the other things they like). There is also a scale for their skin tone based on the picture I've attached above ^.

Varsity

1st Years

Sam
Eyes: Green
Hair: Medium length/Wavy/Dirty blonde
Freckles: A few
Skin tone: 3
Height: 5'11"
Personality: The underdog of the team. She's shorter than everyone, but makes sure that no one is looking down on her by showing off her quickness and agility on the court. She is liked by everyone on the team and became friends with everyone extremely fast. She is friendly to everyone and does her best to make sure she understands the situation of each and every person. By working hard at her disadvantages, it pumps up her teammates to work even harder so they don't fall behind. Her hard work is always noticed by her teammates, coach, classmates and teachers. She is also very stubborn when it comes to her morals; she sticks to what she thinks is right and doesn't let anyone sway her.
Likes: Challenges
Dislikes: Bad attitudes, Giving up
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexuality: Straight

Ricky
Eyes: Dark green
Hair: Short/Usually spiked/Black
Freckles: None
Skin tone: 5
Height: 6'4"
Personality: Has a calm, understanding attitude and is always there to support his friends and teammates. He loves being surrounded by people and joking around with them. He is also a very giggly person. He tends to not be able to hold a poker face and often gets in trouble for laughing at something his friend did in class or team meetings. Really close friends with Sam and gets amusement from teasing her.
Likes: Writing, People watching, Laughing
Dislikes: Sad movies
Ethnicity: Caucasian

Derek
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Medium-long length on top, lightly buzzed underneath/Wavy (pushes his hair back on top of his head when it falls into his eyes)/Dark brown
Freckles: None
Skin tone: 8
Height: 6'2"
Personality: Comes off as cold and serious, but is actually a huge, loving dork. He takes basketball and drama class very seriously. Sometimes he acts like he doesn't care or is annoyed by something, but in reality he really does care a lot. People tend to avoid him because his serious face seems scary and unapproachable, but the basketball boys don't mind at all. Because of this, his classmates saw him interacting normally with the team and started talking to him more as well. And even though it seems like he can only be serious, his acting skills are outstanding and he completely blossoms on a stage.
Likes: Acting, seeing plays
Dislikes: People being bullied (he got bullied in the past because of misunderstandings with his expression)
Ethnicity: Puerto Rican/Caucasian
Sexuality: Gay (out, but stays quiet about it)

Personality: He is like the partier of the team. He always wants to have a good time with his friends and is part of many different friend groups. He hangs out with his friends a lot and can usually be found in town almost everyday. He's a little bit lackluster in school, but puts everything he has into basketball. He could also be known as the "class clown" of the basketball team.
