Elliot is a humble young man who is works aimlessly with no ambitions. He lets other guide his path and continues to get dragged around by others - by his family or his classmates. The ones that truly understand him are his best friends that he doesn't want to trade the world for.

Although he may act clueless, Elliot is a mastermind. An intellectual. The man that holds the brain of a genius. As humble as he may be, you don't realize that he's already had you at the palm of his hand and dancing exactly the way he wanted it.
Yet those little ambitions that hold him back. He's failed to break out of that bubble and continues to hide away behind anything that he finds comfortable.

Right now, Elliot's dilemma is his plans for the future. He struggles whether or not he should break his longtime friendship with a certain person. Should he confess his feelings to her? Or let her leave with another man?
He also continues to struggle with the dilemma of his home and bakery. Elliot for sure plans to take over management of his uncle's bakery when he retires, but what about his plans of pursuing a career?
What about the Grandmaster title for the World Chess organization? He very well might be their newest Grandmaster but the success for his school and his workload rarely gives him the time to prepare for such ideals.

Even if he's a step or two ahead of everything... he feels that reaching out to success of his own life is beyond his grasp.

I just wanted to tell you that I could possibly think that you're trying to get me wrapped around your finger with those playful head of yours. If you think that you're going to use me to take advantage over my uncle, this bakery, and even my friends... then I am afraid you're going to have to try harder.
I know I don't think too highly of myself, neither have a plan of what I truly want in my future. But it doesn't mean that I'm completely blind to how people treat me or those around me.
I don't like showing this side of me... But I'd like to mention that I'm already a step ahead of you. You might as well give it up and go bother someone else.

Truth be told, even if I had you as my playing piece...

You're completely worthless to me.
++++++

Despite being very intelligent, Elliot is a very humble man. He has little ambition, no self-confidence, and thinks he fails his purpose especially when compared to his friends. He remains very sympathetic to many, but it's nothing compared to how kind and how little he judges people; he's always accepting anyone and everyone. His open-mindedness is definitely what describes Elliot as a person, aside from being a shy, young man hiding himself away in the kitchen. He also struggles refusing's people's plea and copious help and support for others often tires him out at the end of the day,
However, Elliot at times can grow assertive and confident because of how intelligent Elliot can be. His intellect is far superior than many, almost surpassing his uncle in the intellectual standpoint. He surprises many people as he's thinking one, two, or even three steps ahead than everyone else. He's always holding himself back due to his low self-confidence and never appreciating the center of attention. Elliot is rarely giving any opinion only because he prefers to let things flow in a certain way - always adapting to whatever he's in except for working under pressure. Working under pressure makes Elliot grow highly anxious and nervous in harsh situations, to a point he could break down and freeze up from what he's doing.
Baxter is an independent individual who practically lives alone. Elliot is always comfortable with friends. Even if he's an introvert, he still prefers to be in the company of friends rather than being by himself. He is still trying to overcome his self-defeating comparisons he makes - which hinders his confidence greatly.

Elliot is a sly and clever individual but rather he prefers to hide behind his friends and let them do most of the work. Because people don't recognize Elliot as often, as the rest of his friends, Baxter would sometimes use this opportunity to work his way into what he wants sometimes. And even then, no one would even notice that people have been dancing in the palm of Elliot's hand. It's almost fearful of what Elliot could do if he used his brain for greater ambitions.

CHILDHOOD . TEENAGE LIFE . ADULTHOOD . TLDR

CHILDHOOD

"Even though your mother and I are busy, we will do our best to support you. But as an older brother, you are obligated to take care of your little siblings when we are away. Do you get it? It's important that you need to take care of them"

- Elliot's father

Elliot is the eldest sibling of four. Him being older by three years from the middle child, his parents expected him to care for both his little brother and sister. Juggling between school and caring for them, there was an additional burden with the constant moving between two countries of England and Spain - he's had difficulty maintaining any social interaction with his classmates and often outcasted. Then an illness befell on one of his little brothers, adding a bit more stress on Elliot's young health.

TEENAGE LIFE

"You don't have to do this, Elliot. I'm not going to let my sick body hold me down, so you don't need to worry about me! I'll be big and strong just like you so it'll be my turn to take care of Maria and Alex! You should definitely- no you WILL go with Uncle Noel!"

- Ferdinand (Second Eldest)

At some point Elliot becomes stressed, even at his age (barely a teenager) he overworks himself in studying and caring for his brothers and sister. A few breakdowns happen here or there until he decided it would be enough.
One of his favorite uncles, Noel would come and visit every once in a while, who originally lives in America. Noel was the first to help him him expand his talents in baking, as a way to reduce the stress in his life. Elliot discovered his hidden talent in cooking - often creating new dishes for his siblings to eat.

Elliot thought this would be a way to be able to leave his home, so that he could finally stay in one place and live a quiet life. It took him a long while to persuade his uncle, let alone his busy parents, to let him go to America and work at his uncle's bakery. It was his sick brother that pushed him to do what he dreamed of.

The work finally paid off after a year or two, he leaves to America during his teenage years and decided to finish his high school years in the United States. Elliot continues to study and work endlessly at his campus as well as his uncle's bakery - which part of the store becomes Elliot's bedroom and bathroom.

This was the first time he's been enrolled into a school where he plans to stay for a long period of time. Because of past events, he's becomes discouraged to socialize with others until he befriended a young girl who's helped her settle down in his new school. At first, she wanted Elliot to tutor her with her struggling math problems, but she began to like Elliot's humble character and his looks. Aside from meeting new friends, he was rather attached to Emery to a point he's developed a one-sided love.

After introducing her to his home inn the bakery, she adored his quiet lifestyle and the two of them spent more time together as friends. Not long after he started to develop feelings for her but her relationship with Hyde somewhat hindered the progression for that. Instead he preferred to stick with her as a close friend and was welcomed within her small little group.

Though they were a range of characters that Elliot never expected to work so well, Elliot treasures their time together. He keeps them close to his heart and his friends hold upmost importance to him. Baxter's role in the story is a very supportive one; his bakery is their sanctuary and their favorite place to bond together. Many of their plannings often takes place in the Bakester.

ADULTHOOD

"Listen, I know you're really good at math and all that academic stuff. But is that what you really want to do? I think you should do something you love! Not do something that you just like. You get me right? I'm pretty sure you found your calling in that kitchen."

- Chanse

Elliot was satisfied with his new life in America and the school he was enrolled in. But around the time where graduation was reaching them - he was concerned for his own future. It took him several worrisome days that wracked his brain before Emery's acquaintance, Chanse had made him finally make the decision:

He wanted to cook.

Elliot, although set to become his year's Valedictorian, he gave up that title when he decided that he'll pursue a culinary career. Math and academics wasn't necessarily important - it was the love of food and passion he puts into cooking. While trying to enroll into a culinary school, he took some time off in his bakery to work as a sort of an apprentice under Faith's roof. In case his applications didn't work out, he also attended a community college just to get units of second degree that he considered.
In no time he was already getting accepted into several potential institutes that could possibly promote his culinary career.

Of course, he still tries his best to make time with his friends he made in highschool. Especially with his group of close friends that he easily calls "his family." Yet their days as an adult might prove difficult, where time won't be sparing. Elliot struggles with Emery to stay together without drifting apart to their own secluded path.

TLDR

Elliot was born in Spain, being the oldest child out of four. Him being the oldest meant that he should take care of all of them while his parents are away to make money.
Elliot and his family are constantly moving between Spain and England. He has no friends and constantly stresses about his school work and caring for his siblings. Breakdowns ensues.
With the help of his siblings and uncle, he manages to get his parents to agree to move out and live with his uncle in the United States. As a teenager he works for his uncle's bakery.
Meets Emery in the school that he was enrolled to. Then became friends with her friends... and develop a crush on Emery but too scared to confess.
Elliot is very smart and is set to become the school's Valedictorian. However he gave that up when he realized his passion is in cooking.
Currently working under a prestigious chef to further his skills before he heads to culinary school.

[Emery]Best Friend, Crush

Technically Elliot's first love... or rather his first crush. He's too afraid to confess as he values their friendship more than the possible romantic relationship. However, Emery's eyes are set on someone else and Elliot simply wants to stick with her. Emery was Elliot's first friend when he moved to the United States, and he doesn't want that to change.

Emery and their other friends also works in Elliot bakery just to give their friend all the support he needed when working. Emery, especially, is involved in making the uniforms for the other employees who weren't designated to cook.

And whenever it's just the two of them hanging out and the rest aren't available - a hundred percent that their plans involve going to a food marathon, which is one of Elliot's favorite things to do.

[Motto]Best Friend

Motto's quiet personality matches quite well with Elliot's kind and humble character. Although they rarely exchange words when it's just the two of them, they don't argue. They don't even need to speak to each other in order to understand each other's messages.

Motto was the first to find out about Elliot's one-sided crush towards their friend Emery. The others don't find out about it until much later, but Motto is always the one to poke fun of him about it and other things that he gets embarrassed about.

[Noel]Uncle

Uncle Noel is one of the reasons why Elliot finally left to America. He was grateful towards him that he allowed him to live in his own independent place at the same time gave him a place to stay and work.
Noel, in their spare time when work is slow, he takes this opportunity to teach young Elliot how to play chess and how to think differently from others. Perhaps it was Noel that Elliot became a genius?

Regardless, Elliot is persistent in trying to beat Noel in a serious game of chess. Because of it, Elliot's put in serious work and practice in chess just to surpass his uncle's unrivaled intellect.

There is also something else that Elliot is suspicious of. Noel lives alone in his home, but with no family or friends. He feels Noel is secluded and hides himself from a bigger threat that worries Elliot. No matter how much he tries to pry into it, Noel strictly forbids Elliot from learning anymore and wants young Baxter to live his own life without unlocking his uncle's past.

[Faith]Mentor

The first thing Elliot knew about Faith is that he is the twin brother of the man that Emery's fallen for. The second thing is that he's a chef and the owner of a high-end restaurant that specializes in Asian cuisines. Because of that, Elliot is rather inspired and begged Faith for him to work in his restaurant until he's ready to enter culinary school.

Faith has been impressed with Elliot's experiences as a baker. He allows Elliot to work in his restaurant as one of his assistants in exchange for some recipes that Elliot's been dishing out for years.

[Chanse]Acquaintance (??????)

The best friend of Elliot's supposed "love rival" according his group of friends. Yet there's a little glimmer in Chanse's eyes whenever they caught sight of each other, giving poor Baxter an uncomfortable feeling.

Yet it was Chanse that made him realize that cooking was what he wanted to do in the future. And Ransford was rather gleeful to hear about it. Eventhough they aren't close, Chanse was there to support him and his future as the world's legendary pastry chef and he could open his very own restaurant!

But there's something else about Chanse that Elliot couldn't put his finger on...
