About
THOMAS • INFJ • GEMINI
Thomas is a shy boy who is commonly seen in his own world, always reading a book about insects, drawing or taking pictures (mostly Lolla, his pet tarantula or Aloe, his leopard gecko).
With a calm personality, he doesn't usually talk much when he's in a new environment, but this got better with time, when he decided to study to become an actor, following in his mother's footsteps. When he acts, his personality changes completely, becoming someone lively and outgoing. Despite having his insecurities, he always tries to look on the bright side of things around him and especially himself.

Backstory
Childhood
Being part of a wealthy family, with the faces of the parents always stamped on everywhere, it would be normal to imagine that the twins would be famous from birth. But against everything, Lenore and Isaak decided to completely hide the twins by registering them in secondary documents, registered in the mother's maiden name (even if it was illegal), avoiding the media as much as possible and aiming for a common childhood for the boys, until they both reached maturity, and planned a big announcement when the time came.
The twins grew up inside the main family mansion and it was rare for them to go out for a walk with their parents, they were raised at home, with several employees and a housekeeper, private tutors and all that. Despite all this, Lenore and Isaak were always present in the first years of their lives, making a point of giving the love and education that both children needed.
When Thomas was 8 years old, Isaak passed away, and things changed.
Lenore took care of all the family business, in addition to her acting career, and her schedule grew increasingly narrow. But even far away, she tried to keep in touch with the boys, and took care of them from a distance with the help of the house staff and the Housekeeper. Thomas misses his father a lot, and has become an even more withdrawn boy.
Youth
At 15, the brothers left home and were enrolled in a school. And from then on, the agreed was that they would use their mother's name, Vendt.
With the news, plus the fact that it would be the first time in his life that the brothers would be separated (they weren't in the same class), Thomas was totally against the idea, as he certainly wouldn't do well in such a social environment. It took a long time for them to convince him to go.
Of course they caught the eye on the first day, after all, they were twins and very handsome, but interest in Thomas disappeared within a week as he didn't talk to anyone except Steffen, who was the only known face to him.
And so a few months passed without a single suspicion.
Rumors about them began to spread around the school, as someone saw Thomas and his mother in a photo of a family party. Thomas tried to avoid them, but the stories grew stronger and more absurd. Until an article about it was published, and the school was in chaos.
And so Thomas had a relapse because of the pressure and anxiety he felt and, realizing this, the housekeeper contacted Lenore, who returned to Germany just to sort things out. And the announcement was made in haste. After that they disappeared, hiding in the house again for a short period of time so that everything calmed down so they could reorganize.
A new phase in both brothers' lives began.
With the unexpected news, the press focused on the twins, becoming abusive and increasing the Anxiety that Thomas felt, knowing this and wanting to protect her children, Lenore hired private security for both, who followed them everywhere, even to school, what yes, they continued, because Javier wanted to graduate at all costs.
Over time, Thomas got used to being a famous personality, and that was because of the support he received from his family and friends (and one other person in particular). Seeing all this, he realized that it wasn't that bad and, with his mother's suggestion, he decided to start studying and become an actor too. In the future repeating the mother's success.
Relationships
It may not seem like it, but they have a good relationship.Despite the lack of conversations and rare discussions, Thomas loves to gift him plants and things that remind him of his brother. Although they are no longer together at school because Javier is a year early, Javier always checks how Thomas is when he has a break, as he knows how difficult his brother is in socializing.
He greatly appreciates his mother, like almost every son.He loves it when Lenore shows up at home, hugging them, asking how they are and making the most of every moment with her. Even if he’s a little uncomfortable with the fancy parties she loves to push on them, and family gatherings that look more like balls from the last century.
Being childhood friends, they are expected to be close, even with such opposite personalities. Helke is always concerned about getting Thomas out of his room for a few moments, and is almost always at the Bothmer mansion because they are neighbors, and their families are longtime friends.
They met on a roller rink when they fell at the same time and later discovered they were classmates. Steffen was the only person Thomas let himself get close to, and they cultivated a friendship quickly, until the moment he realized he had feelings for the boy. Thomas is very affectionate with his boyfriend, especially when he feels more comfortable, being even a little needy at times.
