Family Matters

I was born from winners and born to be one. My mother (Nathalie) and my father (Alain) were both ice dancing champions and I was their first born. They nourished my inherited desire to be on the ice with everything they had, and tried their best to get me a top notch coach.
That's step one in this guide to my success.
• Family is the most important thing you could ever have.
I've always been tight with my family, my parents, my two younger siblings (who I will not name to protect their privacy), and all my aunts and uncles. No matter how hard life has ever been, I've always been able to count on them.
My father is the pillar to my career. He gives the pep talks and the advice I need to perform to the best of my ability. Without him I wouldn't be on top or as close to it as possible.
My mother is my emotional support. I feel like she's one of the few people I can cry around and the few people I can talk to about my problems. My first crush, my fear of snakes (they're freaky okay), my deep and insightful thoughts about the lord; she knows it all. I've confided in her since as long as I can remember and I know I'll keep doing it until the end.
And then, my dear Isabella. She's new to the family, or will be, but she's become a part of my life just as large as my parents. I won't get into her just yet, but I WILL tell you that I'm doing this for her. I've been doing everything for her since the day we met.
So here's step two to JJ's guide for living:
• find what you love and never stop loving it. Whether it's your family, your pets, your dreams, your rock collection, or the lord, you should cling to that. In the worst of times, they will always be there, even if you don't feel like it.

Like I've said before, it's my family that I care about more than anything. They're what started me on this path and they're what keeps me going.
Through everything, family matters.

Some of these chapters are gunna be short af. Anyway here's chapter one. I know most YOI fans hate JJ but he's just so unappreciated.
He's very important to me in the sense that I grew up in Canada and that I was always told that I could never make it in the world because I wasn't American. I was always second best because of my country. When I did see Canadian characters in foreign media it was always a joke, which is fine because we've got some of the best comedians in the world and we all pretty much laugh at you guys laughing at us.
Anyway, I was into Hetalia (and still am but I'm pretty much alone in the fandom now so here I am) and it was great to have Canada with such an important role, but then Yuri on Ice came out and I got to meet a Canadian character who was more important to the plot than the American characters. I saw Canada at the top, near the top, and America was nowhere to be seen. I was excited and I wanted to share my love for JJ (despite his egotistical personality) with others. I've pieced together an entire backstory using everything I canon that I can find and filling in the blanks because JJ deserves this.
Thanks for reading this story. I hope you stay with me to the end!
