Ayden
Ethan, best friend's brother, is a self-deprecating, freaky, and grumpy freelance artist from the Midwest, American.
He is introverted and tolerant, enjoys collecting vintage comics and playing guitar, and dislikes crowded places.
He has backpacked through Europe and won a local art competition.
He taps his foot when anxious.
