Appearance

Backstory or Back ground

From a very early age, Lawrence didn’t fit in with his peers - the fact that he drowned in a river and miraculously survived didn't help his case, at all. He was unpopular and, unsurprisingly, the subject of many rumors. Lawrence‘s parents - who are obsessively invested with appearances - eventually pulled him from the educational system and home-taught him for a year (Grades 4-5.) Afterwards, it’s unclear whether he reinstated or otherwise. Ironically, despite his family‘s neglect, treating him like a dirty secret, Lawrence craves isolation; he did, and does, anything get it (even sometimes resorting to violence.) Up during the night (i.e., eating and doing work) and sleeping during the day, his nocturnal habits wildly manifested; as he matured his behavior worsened. He never felt welcomed or wanted by his parents; he left as soon as he could, never looking back.
