SHARE 5 FUN FACTS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
Isaiah is a vegan (passion for sustainability). Also for sustainability reasons, either walks or cycles to school each day, come rain or snow. If unable to walk or cycle because of distance, heâs using public transport or carpooling.
His mother is a civil rights lawyer, while his father is a former research scientist for a biotech company and now a tenured professor/Research Chair in Science and Society at McGill and working on yet another book (this oneâs about the secretive legal agreements surrounding agricultural big data to trace how it is used and with what consequences). Growing up, Isaiah was close with his parents but in the past few years, that relationship has become strained.
During his freshman year of high school, Isaiah found out his older sister Yael is his actual birth mother. Sheâs sixteen years older than him. His birth father? Literally just some guy from Scarsdale ksjnfskj. Isaiah has literally no desire to reach out to him, given how he turned his back on his âsisterâ, and he doesnât think much about him at all tbh.
He listened almost exclusively to Ween from ages 11 to 15. But other than that, heâs into a lot of â00s and â90s indie rock like Superchunk, Pavement, Sebadoh, and the Flaming Lips. This is by and large influenced by his sister.
At any given time, heâs trying to learn three separate languages on Duolingo. For the past few years, heâs delved deep into German, Yiddish (which he already knew some), and Spanish.
Though his family could certainly afford to dress him in better clothes, Isaiah makes a point of wearing his to a point where they need to be darned or patched up. His sneakers are on the brink of total collapse, and he wears old assth LL Bean, Patagonia, etc. fleeces and sweatshirts and pants and etc. that were either his dadâs or thrifted. RARELY does he buy something brand new and when he does he knows itâs something thatâs going to last. His mom convinced him to invest in two pairs of pants for college (from sustainable and ethical brands of couuuurse).Â
Is he on a government watchlist? Maybe, maybe not.
