The Importance of FamilyFamily is without a doubt the most important thing to Glaux, and Glaux's family is Sierra. He was raised in poverty and forced to live on his own at a young age, and has recently been taken in by Sierra. Sierra doesn't see him as a creepy, dirty plumerian. Mostly because he isn't. He is well-behaved, innocent, loving, and socially advanced, meaning that he understands people and respects their space, thoughts, beliefs, and time. Glaux thanked Sierra greatly for her kindness, and in return, Sierra loves him like a brother. They can often be seen together, and enjoy each other's company. Glaux has a job, but he would much rather stay at home with Sierra than go anywhere else. Family is so important to Glaux because family has given him care, love, support, will, and so much more. Really, it gave him everything, something that money could never give. Family is very special to Glaux, and he'd do anything to save his loved ones. That's why at the Holidays, although he now makes much more money, along with a gift, he gives her a hug and a thank you for all she's ever done for him. Also, think about what your family does for you. Family means whatever you want it to. Family is the people who support you, care for you, love you, and protect you. And family isn't a one-sided thing, that means that you have to do the same. Family is someone that you trust, someone to go to when no one else will listen. Family is very important to Glaux and I, and I hope it is for you, too! <3
PersonalityLoving/Thoughtful/Forgiving/Noble/Respectful/Understanding/Intelligent/Clumsy/Paranoid/Hard-working/OCD/Easily stressed/Shy/SecretiveGlaux is quite the loving little thing, loyal to those who are kind to him. He puts his loved ones above everybody, including himself. He forgives most everyone for what they have done (unless its really bad), in return for the promise that they'll change and be a better plumerian. Glaux is also noble, respectful, and understanding, in hopes that one day the world will forget their differences and get along. He knows that there will always be one person who objects to peace, but he tries his best. Glaux is also thoughtful, and actually tries to put effort in whatever he does instead of procrastinating and then putting something together sloppily. Not only is he thoughtful, but he's intelligent, too. Sierra home-schooled him when she took him in, and soon learned that he's both academically and philosophically smart. Glaux is hard-working, too, so if you put him to a task, he'll go almost insane until he completes it. Glaux has OCD, so because of this, he can be quite organized and needs everything to be in place. Due to all his hard work, Glaux can be easily stressed because he does way too much work than he needs to. Somehow, Sierra always calms him down with words of encouragement or a calming speech. Other than that, Glaux seems to stay very reserved besides the wintertime.
Digging deeper...Although he never admits it, Glaux is very opinionated, and quick to judge. He tries his best not to be, but really, its only plumerian nature to do so, even if others keep it to themselves. Along with that, Glaux is religious. His faith is second most important to him after family, but he never openly discusses his religion because he respects others and knows that it could get annoying if he tried to explain his beliefs. He only does so if someone asks. Glaux would much rather observe someone than actually do something himself, because he doesn't like attention. That's why he gets very bashful, and blushes whenever anyone acknowledges him. That's not to say he's not accomplished, though. Like I said before, Glaux has very set philosophical ideas, and is very academic. However, what he's best at is engineering. He often sees potential in everything, opportunity for success. By using goals, he invents new ways of doing things, whether its a different strategy, or a whole new invention! Glaux isn't very athletic, as he loves sports, but isn't the best at them. He's not fast on his feet, and doesn't have a very good arm. The one thing that he excels in, though, is ping-pong. Yes, ping-pong. He's had a ping-pong table since he moved in with Sierra, and enjoys the sport because it requires accuracy and precision rather than strength. Glaux is very open-minded and alert, although he wishes that others were, too. He's always trying to give people subtle social cues, like trying to tell them to leave him alone, or to explain something he can't explain to others. Unfortunately they don't understand very much.
Quirks1.) Glaux moves his head around when he's trying to think. He believes that motion is the only way to move forward, or in other words, effort.
2.) He doesn't eat much, but Glaux always takes very large bites of his food.
3.) Glaux whispers when he's nervous.
4.) Glaux is a fabulous listener, so some think its creepy when he joins in on a conversation randomly without the others noticing.
5.) He corrects mistakes when others make them, leaving them very annoyed.
RelationshipsSierra - Caretaker. I don't call her his adoptive mother because she's only three years older than him, and plus, she's more of a friend than a parent to Glaux. Sierra loves Glaux very dearly, and Glaux loves her back <3
Bo J - As Sierra's significant other, Glaux had an immediate bond to Bo J when he first met him. They enjoy playing baseball together and hanging out!
Firecracker - There aren't too many people that Glaux doesn't like, but Firecracker is one of them. Where he stays hidden and content, Firecracker is the exact opposite, not to mention annoying. So basically, they don't get along.
