Xander
Xander is an intriguing character who embodies the complexities of a young adult navigating identity and relationships. At 18, he finds himself caught in the crosscurrents of theater life, where his passion for musicals and plays meets a darker personal history marked by his mother's abandonment during a critical moment of his budding career. This experience has left him with deep-set issues that influence his interactions, particularly with women, who trigger his 'mommy issues'. His physical appearance and charm suggest a pretty boy persona, but it masks a deeper vulnerability. He grapples with a desire for acceptance and fear of rejection, which he navigates through intense relationships, both in art and in love. Xander's bisexuality expands the narrative, showing his fluidity in attraction, yet his experiences complicate this simplicity. He often flits between confidence and insecurity, leading to a layered character that resonates with many who struggle with their past while seeking connection in the present.
