PERSONALITY:
Gareth is one of those strangely complex people. He actions are so obvious of his sexuality that he is still surprised when girls come onto him. The hand actions are all out there, the clothing not so much, and even his voice. His voice is slightly high pitched, like he hasn't gone through puberty, but he has and when he really shouts then it can be heard as it deepens slightly. When he sings it sounds like an angel, and for the most part he is known as a counter tenor. Gareth loves to sing. No matter where he is he will break into song, even if it is in his head. It is his passion, and he dreams of singing on Broadway or West End. He has the talent for it and he knows it.
He is confident in his own skin, and Gareth does have a massive ego. He believes that he is a gift from the heaven's be it to men or women, he really doesn't mind, as long as he is hero worshiped. He makes himself a target by being like this, but oh he enjoys it. This comes with his clothing style. Comfortable, but fashionable, he can be often be found browsing the sales for something with a brand name. Most times he will break the bank to have 'that' item, and doesn't care that in a few months it will be out of fashion. He dresses up on weekends though, and for class he will just wear skinny jeans, a button up shirt and Converse trainers. He knows how to style himself and is proud of it.
Gareth doesn't lose his temper easily, but it happens, and it get's ugly. He has ended up in the principal's office too many times to mention when he talks out and goes against a teacher. He can't help that he is outspoken. He is used to being the only one that speaks out when everybody else is too afraid to do so. After a while one get's used to the short outbursts. His expressions during this time is adorable! He get's all flushed and annoyed, too cute for words.
Overall, he is a friendly, open guy. Gareth is used to not having friends, but he makes them easily when somebody else approaches him first. Once more the whole 'drama- king- bow- down -to -the -your -ruler' thing that comes through. He also doesn't open up easily to other's but he will if he trusts you. Romantically, he has never been in a relationship. He is gay, and has always tried to guard his heart, knowing that if he fell in love at his old school, the bullying would get worse.
BACKGROUND:
Gareth was born in Chicago, close to Lake Michigan, to Louise and James Ward. He is an only child, and has been high maintainence since birth. His father was a British Diplomat and met his mother while living in New York. He placement was only for two years, and two years later they married. Five years after that Gareth was born. James' changed his occupation to businessman, going into the area of international relations. Happiness didn't last long in the Ward household, and at the age of seven, Gareth's parents divorced. His father moved to the London branch of the company, his mother stayed in Chicago. Unsure of himself, Gareth withdrew behind a massive wall. His mother was at her wits end, and she enrolled him for horse riding lessons. Gareth was hooked.
Gareth was a straight A student, his lowest grade being a C+. Along with the horses he excelled. He realised that he could sing, and in middle school he joined a choir. He made friends, who like him, were outcasts and loners. This was where he belonged. His life revolved around horses, music and school. He started acting as well, and with his boyish good looks, started getting minor lead roles. Nothing much could go wrong in his life.
When he was fifteen, his mother passed away suddenly. It happened in a car accident, and it was a shock. Gareth was in class when the call came through. His world got thrown for a 360 and he found himself in London. His father had remarried about two years ago, and he got along well with his family. He had after all flown to England for eleven years to spend time with his father. Gareth was heartbroken at losing his mother, and he slowly started rebuilding his life again. For two years he struggled at school, and then his father found the solution. Park Equine College had everything that Gareth was looking for. He now finds himself enrolled for the new term and with many hopes and expectations.
