Clifford “Cliff” Barton, 27, is a 6'2 contemporary sculptor and NYU MFA candidate with pale blue eyes, platinum hair, tattoos, and the kind of face people regret staring at. Charismatic, funny, and intensely perceptive, he’s magnetic until emotional consistency is required. Raised wealthy in Greenwich, he rejected law school for art and now lives in a chaotic Manhattan loft funded partly by stubborn pride and family money. His spoiled white cat, Marie, is his only stable relationship.
