#charcter reference

Cupid is a celebrity born in a small town in Georgia. (He trained himself to get rid of his southern accent at a young age because he hated it) He was raised by his mother and grew up rich, everything was always handed to him and the only thing he ever genuinely worked hard for was his career and fame.

He started writing music in middle school. Pink, his best friend, would often help him with filming music videos and the two of them took dance classes and private music lessons (that Cupid's mother paid for) together.

The fame stated going to his head at a young age, as he first started going viral at the very beginning of high school. He made friends with more popular students and quickly became a bully in his high school years, especially to his childhood friend. The two had been inseparable for their whole lives, and Cupid did not originally intend to treat Pink badly, but as time went on he grew to view Pink as a loser and an embarrassment to be seen with and bullied him ruthlessly. Pink dropped out of his music classes because of this, but continued with dance, as Cupid no longer attending classes at the dance studio. They have not spoken to each other since graduation.

Cupid has traits that give him the potential to be a good person, but he only cares for himself, and acts only on what will benefit him. He has high empathy, but only uses it to know how to appeal to peoples emotions and build his public image or get something he wants. He's deliberately manipulative, and was even from a young age. Dude was born knowing how to trick people into giving him whatever he wants. Not everyone falls for it though, to some people he may be absolutely charming and to others he may have the most god awful vibe ever lmao. Plenty of people hate him, but he has a fiercely defensive fanbase.

He frequently struggles with stress and burnout from overworking himself. He also isn't the best at basic tasks, such as cooking, as he's never had to do so for himself a day in his life. Meet and greets stress him out cuz he hates physical contact but doesn't want to deny a hug to a fan, as he knows it's part of his job and deep down he appreciates their support. That being said, for boundary reasons, he doesn't have large meet and greets often.
