Likes European, Arabic, and Chinese literature. Uses writing and acting as the only way to express his feelings. Plays the piano and violin. Very creative and imaginative. Loves poetry and theatrical plays. Wishes to be able to figure skate again, but can't due to his 2 prosethic legs. Has no family, lonely. So he pretends to hate figure skating
