PERSONALITY
In essentials, William is hardly like either of his parents. He's a quiet, gentle kind of person, yet he's not shy per say. He enjoys spending time with people once in a while, but he often retreats into his own little world and gets lost there - which is really the only reason he ever got in trouble as a child, for not paying attention to what he'd been told to do, or for wandering off on his own rather than staying close like he was supposed to. He has a calm, easy going temperament - he doesn't get angry easily, and he rarely ever loses his temper. Even though he has a very absent minded demeanor, he does have an analytical mind - he doesn't jump to conclusions and always takes the time to evaluate a situation before choosing the best way to proceed. He's very artistic in spirit, but also very level headed - he has his own way of dealing with things, which is not similar to anybody is his family. For all he shows more of a subdued personality though, he doesn't necessarily lack backbone. He's just the type to make concessions a lot, so long as he doesn't have a problem with the outcome.
He doesn't really make friends easily, not because he doesn't feel comfortable talking to strangers, but because he rarely pays attention to his surroundings, instead getting lost in his thoughts and walking past people as if they were not there. This type of behavior, along with his family name, has earned him the reputation of a snob among some of his elementary school mates, which was one of the reasons he was glad to escape to boarding school through his high school years. He does have a few people he has gotten close to in his life, but his social circle remains fairly small. In spite of the fact that he's not the most popular person, he's not the kind to just blindly dislike others. He can be a bit unforgiving at times though, and for all his sweetness, he's not the kind of person to easily hand out second chances. In the rare cases where he does find himself having to interact with someone he truly hates, his entire demeanor changes to an almost unrecognizable degree - people who have seen him in contact with his grandfather, especially, often find him to look like a completely different person.
He's not particularly good with girls, but not bad either. He has yet to come across someone that will be more interesting to him than what goes on in his mind, and seeing as most people don't take very well to being second best to someone's imagination, or not being paid attention to, he hasn't ever been very successful in relationships. He has had a crush on a specific girl in school since he first started attending the Academy, but has never really managed to gather up the courage to speak more than a passing word to her, as he's afraid his typical dreamy behavior would put her off as it does with most girls.
LIKES AND DISLIKES
William's favorite color is forest green, and he's not a fan of brown. He loves winter, and could do without summer. He's a cat person, and he hates rats. He could eat steak any day of the week, and he craves peaches most often, but he hardly ever touches spicy food, and dislike sorbet. He's not a coffee drinker, he much prefers cream soda. He's an art lover, his favorite being painting, and he likes listening to music, but he doesn't enjoy rough sports. His best subject in school is History, and his worst is Science.
APPEARANCE
William has his father's blue eyes, and short brown hair which he sometimes takes the time to style in the morning, if he things about it. He's got a slightly pointy chin, and he's not always the best as making sure he's clean shaven, usually waiting until he's got a few days' worth of facial hair growth before he takes a razor to it. His clothing style is more on the casual side, jeans and plain t-shirts, or sometimes button downs, and he always puts comfort above all - unless, of course, he is required to dress up for a formal event. He has his dad's built, more on the lean side with some developing muscle mass, and actually stands taller than his father at 6'2".
FAMILY DYNAMICS
William gets along well with pretty much everyone. He's a sweet, loving kind of guy, and of his siblings, he is - strangely enough, in some people's opinion - closest to Leslie. Although they are very much different, he enjoys his crazy little sister's presence. He likes talking with Mackenzie, although they don't share very many interests, and his relationship is most strained with Chace, but being his only and youngest brother, William still tries to get closer to the other boy and get to know him better.
When it comes to his parents, William is a bit closer to his mother than to his father, who has a hard time relating to him, and also had tried to push him a bit to be more focused so he may someday take over the family business, until Mackenzie's ambitions and potential made itself known. He actually finds himself to be closer to his paternal grandmother than his parents, although he loves them both. Overall, he's a family oriented guy.
