Name: Grayson Jay Fischer.
Nickname: His close friends and family know he prefers to be called Gracie. He is far too polite to ever correct someone if they address him by any other variation of his name, so most of the time he goes by Grayson or Gray when he is around new people
Age/Birthday: He is 20-years-old and his birthday falls on March 3rd
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Health Issues: Gracie is relatively healthy and his happy-go-lucky disposition keeps him healthy of mind.
School and Class: Grayson is a sophomore at Metric College, he is extremely excited about his studies and hopes to make plenty of new friends along his educational journey.
Major: Theater- Gracie hopes to make it as either an actor or a director, he has big dreams but the talent and dedication to achieve them
Job: Grayson works at the arcade in downtown Salem at the prize counter. He absolutely loves his job because he gets to spend his entire day surrounded by food and video games. Gray has had a job at the arcade since he was fifteen-years-old and plans to stay there until he graduates from college. Although the arcade is pretty strict about their prizes, he has been known to hand out a prize or two to a cute little kid even when they are a few tickets short.
On top of working at the arcade he also volunteers as a director for the community theater. He enjoys working with the kids and teaching them the tricks of the trade, making them into perfect little actors and actresses. Grayson enjoys working with children more than adults because he feels they are far less judgmental. The kids of the theater call him Mr. Gracie which never ceases to brighten his day.
Reputation: Gracie is one of the sweetest boys one could meet which means he is very well known around the town. He is the type of person to say hello to everyone he meets and greet them with a winning smile and a cheerful wave. Causing trouble is not really his thing, so wherever trouble lies he tends to steer clear from. He is more than willing to talk to anyone and will not judge others.
Because he is rather effeminate, he tends to get picked on quite a bit. Some people cannot handle his cheery disposition and are easily annoyed which makes him a target for bullying. Because his brothers are all very sporty, he has a few connections with the more popular crowd but is more likely to be seen with the misfits of the school.
Friends:
Mallory Abbott: The older redhead who grew up across the street from him. Ever since they were young they have been practically inseparable. They know everything about one another and most likely you cannot see one without the other. Things became a little weird between the two when Mal started dating one of Gracie’s brothers, but after they broke up things easily went back to normal. They now rent an apartment together not too far away from campus.
Wade Rawlson: Gracie met Wade when they shared the stage in one of Metric's productions. The two hit it off immediately and have been close ever since. He thinks Wade is odd but then again so is Gracie, so it's a great friendship!
Todd Bennett: He met Todd through his best friend Mallory and immediately thought Todd was the cutest thing he'd ever seen. Gracie kept his crush a secret and only gushed to a few people. Months ago at a party he and Todd both were buzzed and ended up making out with one another. Ever since then, Todd has been very distant and they haven't talked about it. Gracie is pretty busted up about it.
Amy O'Neil: Todd introduced Gracie to Amy and their positive vibes instantly connected. He thinks she is totally fun to hang out with!
Enemies/Rivals: Grayson makes a great effort to make sure he has no enemies. He can get along with pretty much anyone if given the chance. Even if he happens to meet someone he does not necessarily like he will steal treat them with kindness and consideration. Gracie is the type of person who can be hated easily but does not hate others.
Relationship Status: Single and ready to mingle. Grayson is a hopeless romantic and falls way too easily for the boys. His current (and rather hopeless in his eyes) crush is Todd Bennett. After having a rather large infatuation with him last year it came to a head when they made out at a party. Since then Todd really hasn't paid him much mind which obviously still upsets Gracie.
Height/Body Type: Grayson is 6’2” and a tall, lanky skeleton of a boy. If by chance someone were to catch him shirtless they would easily be able to see his collarbone, ribs, and hipbones. He has a very long torso and long appendages which give him a very willowy and girlish appearance. Although he eats terribly like any other teenage boy, it seems almost impossible for him to gain weight. Although he is an actor, he is not extremely comfortable with his body and will opt to wear a shirt even for a day at the beach.
Hair color: Dark brown/black- always kept so the tips just barely touch his shoulders. Sometimes when he feels like it he'll wear a flower crown or some sort of cute accessory in his hair.
Eye color: Bright blue- he is used to getting compliments on his eyes because they tend to stand out against his long, dark hair.
Clothing style: He absolutely loves to dress in layers since Gray always seems to be cold. His closet is full of color though he favors the classical look of black and white attire. Scarves are the one accessory he could never live without, hats being another one. He has a habit of over accessorizing meaning he usually steps out of the house wearing one too many bracelets or layering one too many necklaces with one another. His typical outfit would consist of jeans, a v-neck, button-up, cardigan, scarf, and combat boots. Gracie is not afraid to wear more effeminate clothing.

Family
Father – Levi Fischer – Doctor – The relationship Gracie has with his father is civil though Levi has a hard time connecting with his son. Of course he will always support him but after raising four sporty sons his father found it hard to find something in common with Gracie given how sensitive the boy was.
Mother – Ava Fischer – Ex-Olympic figure skater – His mother was the first one to ever call him Gracie. Gray is extremely close with his mother and shares everything with her. He is the baby of the family which means he is quite spoiled. As a child Ava never judged her son, even when he asked for Barbie dolls for Christmas and said he wanted to be a princess. She encouraged her son to be whoever he wanted to be.
Older brothers – Oliver, Axel, Isaac, and Blake – All four of Gracie’s brothers are one-hundred percent supportive of their younger brother. As children they would tease him as all siblings do but when he started getting picked on in school, they were right there to defend him. Gracie lovingly refers to them as his bodyguards because if he has a problem with anyone they will deal with it. Things became a little weird between him and Oliver when his brother started dating his best friend Mallory but it was easily repaired once the two broke up.
Backstory: After bringing four boys into the world Ava and Levi hoped their fifth time would bring them a little girl. Ava swore up and down this would time would be the one, so they refused to find out the gender of the baby before it was born. On March 3rd they were surprised to welcome another little boy into their life. Even though Ava hoped for a little girl, she could not have been happier her little Grayson was healthy with a powerful set of lungs on him, one thing that would not change even as he grew up.
Growing up with four older brothers certainly was not easy. As soon as he could walk Grayson became the target of his siblings little games. They would pick on him, wrestle him, and pretty much team up on him until he would go crying to their mother. Ava had a soft spot for her youngest child mainly because he was the first to go to her when things went wrong and not Levi. She saw something in her little boy which had differed from his brothers. Grayson was something special. He asked to help her with baking and wanted to go as a princess for Halloween. Levi put his foot down on that one and claimed no son of his would ever wear a dress, yet once Halloween came around Grayson made the cutest little Snow White.
When he was five-years-old he watched eagerly from a window as a moving truck rolled in across the street. He waited eagerly to see what the new neighbors would be like. The previous owners of the house were old and boring and their dog always barked at him when he passed by. What he hoped was for a family with kids, someone he could play with since the kids at school liked to tease him. He was disappointed to see an old lady come out of the van but he quickly brightened up when a small redhead girl hoped out of the van, skipping after her grandmother.
Grayson went over with his family to welcome the family to the neighborhood and, although his brothers were closer to the girl’s age, Gracie took her by the hand and started jabbering away. He found out her name was Mallory and she had just moved from California. The two immediately developed a close bond and spent every day after school together.
As time went on, the bullying only grew worse for Gracie. In middle school things reached their worst. He was being shoved in the hallways, threatened by the upperclassman, and often came home with bumps and bruises. Being the chipper young boy he was he would often make up excuses but his parents saw right through them. They contacted the school and were told there was nothing they could do. Kids will be kids is all they had to say. One day while he walked to class with Mallory a group of boys decided it would be funny to trip him. The older one called him a faggot and spit at him which prompted Mallory to take action. The usually level-headed girl punched the boy in the face and was immediately pushed back by one of the other boys in the group. A fight broke out landing Grayson, Mallory, and the group of boys in detention.
It was then Mallory had the idea to make everyone believe they were dating. Maybe if they thought Gracie was straight they would leave him alone. They walked down the hallways holding hands but that was about it. After a few weeks, Grayson decided to end it because he no longer wanted to hide who he was. Getting beaten up was a small price to pay when it came to his freedom.
Luckily high school was far much kinder to Grayson. Since his fellow students were more mature he was picked on much less. His happy-go-lucky attitude was contagious and he could brighten anyone’s day with his crooked grin. It was in high school he found the drama club and decided that is where he belonged. He developed an intense passion for theater and loved the spotlight. The people involved in drama were just about as crazy and fun-loving as him, so he felt right at home. When Mallory left for college, they helped keep him sane.
He would visit Mallory at college on a monthly basis which also meant he would see his brother Oliver since they roomed together…and started dating. It was a little awkward for him but he was happy Mallory and his brother both seemed happy. After touring the college they attended he decided he wanted to attend Metric as well so he applied and shortly after was accepted. Oliver and Mallory ended up breaking up which meant his brother could move out and he could move right in with his bestie. It is Gracie’s first year at Metric, and he is hoping to make plenty of new friends.
