◖ ➴APPEARANCE ✯❞ ◗
Hair Colour: Brown | Eye Colour: Dark Brown
It wasn't hard to tell that Theo is an adopted child. For one, he looked nothing like his parents. He had brown hair while his parents both had blonde hair, his had dark brown--almost black--eyes while his father had cornflower blue and his mother had emerald green. Then there was his height. Theo had always been quite a tall boy, something both his father and brother notably were not. Now at the age of eighteen, he stands at 6', a few inches taller than his father and brother. Time spent playing football with the Thunder Dogs has helped him stayed fit, but not bulky.
tattoos / piercings
None. He doesn't dare upset his parents by getting one.
scars / birthmarks
Theo has a few moles on the left side of his face, the most prominent one being that on his cheek. He also has two more along his neck. His brother would often playfully tease him about it, calling them vampire bite marks.
clothing style
Smart casual and preppy. His signature look is a button down shirt and a casual blazer matched with dark jeans. Sometimes he changes things up and wears cardigan over a shirt instead. While a member of the school's football team, Theo notably doesn't wear his Thunder Dogs sweater very often. It's simply not his style preference. During the weekends, he dresses much more casually, but still keeping towards a neat look. He absolutely hates baggy clothing.

◖ ➴PERSONA ✯❞ ◗
personality
Studious, polite, conservative--basically the child every parent dreams of having. He very rarely disobeys his parents and does everything he can to make them happy. For Theo, as long as his parents are happy, then he's happy. From what he's observed, his parents are seems to correlate with his achievements. They are happiest when he does something for them to be proud of. Unfortunately for him, his parents weren't exactly easy people to please. They were strict and had very standards for him. While Theo claims that his parent' strictness is what pushes him to do his best, he also can't help but feel frustration at how unreasonable they could be at times.
In reality however, Theo isn't as perfect as people make him out to be--far from it actually. One of his major flaws was his ego. Theo isn't used to being wrong and often thinks his idea is best. A lot of times this can be true, but not always. Just like his parents, he can be quite
narrow minded. It's uncommon for him to fail to see things from a different angle. The quote, "the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree," applies to him quite well, even though they're not his biological parents. Apart from that, he is also quite
judgmental. He is quick to judge and quick to assume things about a person. "To see is to believe," is what he would say. Unless there was evidence to prove otherwise, Theo will continue to view a person with the brand that society has placed upon them. Needless to say, he is one to stereotype people.

hobbies
Skateboarding - He may not look like it, but Theo knows a trick or two on the board. It was something he learned from his brother, Tristan. Ever since Tristan left home however, Theo hasn't touched a skateboard much less ride one. He simply didn't have the time with him working hard to be an achiever.
Cooking - Theo picked up the hobby during the two weeks their parents left them at home to visit their mom's relatives. Tristan was an awful cook, something that he was strangely proud of. Sick of eating his brother's cooking, Theo went ahead and began to learn how to cook. He wasn't the best at it, but it was significantly better than what his brother could make. It was then that he learned how enjoyable cooking could be and continued on with it as a hobby.
fears
Disappointment → Abandonment - He fears that if he doesn't please his parents, if he doesn't live up to the standards they've set, they would no longer want him and abandon him--just like how his birth mother did when he was still a child.
Astraphobia / Fear of Storms - Ever since he was little he was afraid of the booming sounds of thunder, the howling winds, and the heavy downpour that comes with a storm. When he was still a young boy, he would curl up under a blanket and watch the storm from his bedroom window in mystified horror. As afraid he is of storms, he also finds them somewhat mesmerising.

◖ ➴BACKSTORY ✯❞ ◗
history
To say that Theo grew up under a household with strict upbringing was an understatement. His parents, Christopher Caine Wolfe and Tara Wolfe, had always been strict even from before he came into the picture. Tristan Wolfe, his older brother, knew this very well.
Theo was six years old when he was adopted into the Wolfe family. It was roughly around the same time that Tristan entered high school. Theo may have not been a Wolfe by blood, but he was by name and as such Christian and Tara didn't spare him from their strictness. Afraid that they'll toss him back into the orphanage, Theo did everything he could to garner their acceptance. He did his best to become like their 'perfect' son Tristan. But he knew, he was never going to become like him. No matter what he did, Theo never received their parent's praises. For a kid who was merely in grade school, it felt like a huge rejection. That didn't stop him though.
Four years later, just as Tristan was beginning to prepare for college, he finally snapped. The pressure and expectations set by Christian and Tara became too much for him. And so, Tristan rebelled. Ten year old Theo couldn't do anything but watch as Tristan was almost disowned by their parents. The son that Christian and Tara were so proud of was gone. They tried to 'fix' him by keeping him on house lock down. He was to go to school and go home immediately. But Tristan didn't obey. He threatened to leave home. Theo thought that was it, Tristan won. He was happy for his older brother and a part of him felt inspired by him. Ten year old Theo contemplated on slacking off a bit (as compared to before) with his studies to give him time for hobbies he wished to pursue.
How foolish of him to think of that. While the couple were in shock at their only blood related son's outburst, they were ruthless and called his bluff. They were daring Tristan to leave. Theo couldn't understand why they would do that. Did they not love him? Or were they that too prideful? Confused, scared and in shock; Theo could do nothing but watch it all unfold. His brother left that night when everyone was fast asleep. Tristan left without saying another word to any of them. Since then the spotlight has moved onto their only son left, Theo. The pressure that was once cast upon Tristan was transferred onto him.
secrets
• He's cheated on a major exam once before having not enough time to prepare for it properly.
• Smoker. The first stick was out of curiosity, the rest were because he liked what the first stick offered. Because of this, he always keeps a mint in his pocket to mask the scent from his mouth right after.
• Theo dreams of taking up forensics one day but knows his parents would be dead set against anything other than med school.
relationships
Asher Lenford - A good friend of his. At first, Theo's parents urged him to befriend the Lenford due to his status as the Golden Boy. Afteer getting to know him however, Theo found that he enjoyed Asher's company and the boy quickly grew to become one of his closest friends.

◖ ➴MISCELLANEOUS ✯❞ ◗
football
He picked up the sport half out of expectation from his parents, and half because he needed a new hobby to keep his body moving. Skateboarding was out of the option ever since Tristan left. There was the lack of time as well as the fear of getting caught that he didn't have as much when he used to sneak out with Tristan. It killed two birds with one stone and in the end, he found that the sport to be enjoyable enough.
hound
Out of all the animals in the world, Theo's favourite would have to be rabbits. He just has a soft spot for the adorable 'ball of fluff' as he so eloquently likes to refer to them. Theo always wanted a pet rabbit, but since his older brother had already gotten a dog even before he came into the picture, his parents no longer felt the need to give Theo a pet of his own. One pet in the household was all they said each time he asked for one. When Tristan left home, he also left his dog, named Hound, behind. There really wasn't much of an option for the brunette. Theo certainly didn't want to leave Hound off at the pound, that would just be cold of him to do. So, instead he took care of Hound and treated him as his own pet.
ambidexeterity
Theo is ambidextrous, not that he always was. One day he just decided he wanted to be able to write with his right hand as well as his left so he trained himself to write with his right. Though his he could write quite legibly with his right, his left-hand handwriting still looked neater and better. Despite being left-handed, Theo likes to use his right hand. For one, it was more convenient as most objects were designed for right-handed people and hardly have any left-handed counterparts.
writing sample
"What am I looking at here, Lenford?" This was Theo's near instant reaction the moment his friend entered Pop's and settled into the seat across from him. In Asher's hand was a bouquet, but it wasn't any regular bouquet, its contents seemed to be--
"
Cotton candy," his friend said in answer to his earlier question. Then, without the need to ask any further, he continued, "It's for a girl. I heard she likes cotton candy."
"I sure hope she does, that is quite a lot after all." Theo took a sip of his tea. He already figured that would be his friend's answer--unless he suddenly decided he wanted diabetes that is.
"So, who's the lucky girl?" he asked, curious to know who would be getting a sugar rush courtesy of the town's golden boy.
Asher reached over to his side of the table, snatching away a fry out of Theo's basket. "Not telling," he answered in a singsong voice before chucking the fry straight into his mouth.
The two of them sat there chatting for a few minutes longer, till it was finally time for Asher to leave and meet up with the cotton candy bouquet's recipient. Theo never did get the girl's name out of him that day, not that it bothered him. He knew that he'll find out who it was eventually, it was hard for someone like Asher to keep a secret for long in a town like Haven Peak.
