jim is not as arrogant as the other filthy-rich kids, but is still as scornful and prissy. despite being a popular person, he's actually quite introverted, and is definitely the type who does not speak much. he loves playing football as much as he loves reading books, and is described as being clever. many have compared him with his father, implying that they're so much alike.PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
jim is a handsome young man with fair skin, dark brown hair and wide green eyes. he stands at 5'10", has a slim figure, and is only seen wearing designer clothing.BACKGROUND INFO
jim was born into one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in america. his father is the ceo of a company, at the same time the founder of a luxury hotel chain, while his mother was also an entrepeneur & socialite before her timely death. he's the only child and the heir to the family's company.mrs. buchanan died when jim was only eight, leaving him with his indifferent father. mr. buchanan barely gave any of his time to his son, only talking to him when he has something to discuss regarding jim's future and the family business. the boy has a few friends (abigail and the plisetsky twins included), but is still quite lonely especially at home.
from kindergarten until 6th grade, jim attended birch wathen lenox school, then he spent two years in collegiate school until finally transferring to riverdale country school for 9-12th grade, where he played football and earned his role as quarterback. he graduated in 2040 before going to princeton university to be with abigail dewitt-bukater.

• he was close with both his parents until his mother passed away.
• he doesn't attend parties except when any of his friends is having their birthday.
• both he and chad cooper are football quarterbacks that come from rich families; however, they are opposites, not just because one is from california and one is from new york, but because of their very different personalities and relationship with their families.

• he does horseback riding just like abigail does, but isn't as passionate about it as she is.
• as malcolm leboutillier is based off blaise zabini and abigail dewitt-bukater off daphne greengrass, the inspiration for jim's character is theodore nott.QUOTES
