PERSONALITY
Bryce is a pretty calm and collected kind of guy, and a bit more on the shy side too. He's not very comfortable approaching people he doesn't know, and he doesn't make friends easily. He could actually be considered more of a loner, and he'd rather just entertain himself than have to mingle with strangers - he doesn't see anything wrong with spending a whole day in his room, reading or playing video games, with a bit of drawing or painting thrown in the mix. He's socially awkward, often trips over his words and ends up saying the wrong thing, and as such, he just figures it's better for him not to bother talking at all if he's in front of other people. Few things terrify him more than an oral presentation.
He does do pretty well in school, although he couldn't really be qualified as a genius. He gets good grades and he applies himself, but he's not overly studious nor does he excell naturally. He pretty much just gets the grades he works for, which are generally average, and he's happy with that. He doesn't feel the need to get straight As, and it requires more work than he's willing to put in anyway. It could be said that he's a bit lazy when it comes to his studies, or lack motivation, but since he meets the average in practically every class, and has never failed so much as a test in his life, he doesn't think there's really ground for being told off. As it is, he does tend to get great grades in Science classes, but that comes from the fact that it actually fascinates him.
Relationships are definitely not his strong point - actually, they're pretty much a foreign concept to him. He cannot approach girls, and even when Summer has friends over, he'd much rather just hide out in his room until they're gone. He wouldn't say he's scared of girls per say, but it's just always the same - they see him, they think he looks good, they talk to him, and ultimately they just end up walking away because he can hardly even put two words together in response.
LIKES AND DISLIKES
Bryce's favorite color is teal, and he's not a fan of pink. he loves fall, and could do without summer. He's a dog person, but hates bees. He could eat baked potatoes any day of the week, and he craves vanilla pudding most often, but he hardly ever eats pork, and dislikes melon. He's not a tea drinker, he much prefers cranberry juice. He loves to paint and play video games, but dislikes talking in front of crowds. His best subject in school is Science, and his worst is Spanish.
APPEARANCE
Although at first glance, people would say Bryce looks more like his dad than his mom, he's actually a pretty well balanced mix of the two. He keeps his short hair styled in a similar fashion to his father's, but it's the dark brown shade of his mother's. He has his dad's facial structure, but his mom's eyes shape, combined with thin lips and a slightly up turned nose. He stands at 5'10", one inch shorter than his father, and has a muscular body type. If it weren't for his mother, he would probably dress a bit more on the sloppy side, but as it is, she always makes sure that he's at least presentable. Nonetheless, his wardrobe mostly constitutes of jeans and t-shirts.
FAMILY DYNAMICS
Bryce is at a stage in his life when he's not specifically close to anyone in his family. He does spend a bit more time with his dad, but sometimes he just feels like he's trying too hard and it makes him feel a bit awkward, and forced to respond in a similar fashion, which is just out of character for him. As for his mom, she's not exactly pushy, but she does wish he would make more of an effort in school, and just with his social life in general, and he'd really rather not get to talking about the subject, so he tends to avoid longer conversations with her. He does love both his parents, he's just at that point in his teenage years where he doesn't want to share details of his life with them.
As for his sister, they have a pretty typical siblings relationship, with her annoying him purposely at times, and accidentally other times. She refers to him as a nerd a lot, but will readily tell other people off for doing the same. He does feel protective of her, as she is three years younger than he is, but at the same time, she has more drive than he does, and although she's not extremely outgoing, she does have a lot of an easier time finding people to hang out with, so he doesn't really feel like she needs him that much.
