Eli

Elias Hawthorne.
23 years old.
russian-american
goes by eli (someone actually called him manning eli back in highschool though and it caught on with everyone else.)
(Does not like the nickname Manning Eli)

"i h-h-heard you like bad boys...... im bad at everything.."
"i h-h-heard you like bad boys......oh, n-not really? *exhales in relief* thank god."

-immigrated from Russia when he was really young with his parents for a better life, but doesnt remember much of his time there. (to put it simply his dad married into a fairly rich family and they both took on the name Hawthorne when they moved. Things happened here and there and his Dad was murdered in his sleep via poisoned food. Apparently the family and staff had been aiming to kill him too, but the poison nvr reached his food thanks to a helpful maid. More things happen and lets just say it ends up with the mansion they moved too being set in flames and his stepmother mysteriously being unable to escape in time and Elias inheriting their fortune)

-his accent however still remains to this day and is still fairly noticeable. particularly when he gets really flustered or thrown off, which, is pretty much all the time
-he looks grumpy but he's actually very soft and a little shy
-naturally soft-spoken and while he has a low voice, its still quiet (if that makes sense?)

-has a tiny bit of a stutter (though its not born out of nerves he's just always had it since he was young and fears its getting worse)
-he's a little embarrassed of his stutter and gets frustrated a lot because he's not good at expressing himself socially, so he opts to talk less, if not at all
-talks a bit slower sometimes as he's unsure how to word things
-has moments where he gets really excited
-will then remember what he's doing and get quiet really quickly before sitting by himself
-i would like to say that he's on the autism spectrum but i want to look into it more so i dont misrepresent anything

-very much edgy black clothing or soft baggy shirts and sweatpants, theres no in between
-very much has an obsession for the old carebears show _{(and owns a couple tiny plushies)}, the same way one would find gudetama or hello kitty cute
-is the oldest human in the btb group verse
-CANONLY HAS A CRUSH ON GAARA FROM NARUTO AND SUPPORTS HIS NEW CALM PEACEFUL LIFESTYLE

-eventually dates Jules, and finds it amusing when people think he's the older one in the relationship
