Derek looks very much like the athlete that he is. Even though he can sometimes look lean and lanky, there's definitely nothing skinny about Derek. He has quite the muscular build; he's just not particularly capable of bulking up. With his angular jaw, narrow honey brown eyes, round-the-clock tan and dark hair, not to mention impressive physique, to say that Derek isn't attractive at all is to admit that you're either a hater or you're blind because there's no way he's not. His black hair is naturally silky-soft and kept short, though over the summer, Derek shaved his hair close to his head. It's growing back a lot quicker than anticipated, but it's definitely been an interesting look for him. Surprisingly, he has several tattoos. The dragon accompanied by the words "Live" and "Love" on his torso had been a dare by his brother that Derek foolishly couldn't ignore and the roman numerals on his left bicep was the "apology" to his mother considering they're her birth year. The tattoo on his left arm occurred over the summer and only because he honestly found it pretty cool. He even has a feather tattooed on his right hand. He covers them all up during basketball season.

Derek is the stereotypical boy. He likes a simple and relaxed style, which lumps his own fashion sense within the confines of urban street-wear with a sophisticated flair when it comes to big events. There are some things he isn't pressed about and fashion brands are only one of many. As long as Derek has clean threads on his skin with the occasional addition of watches , sunglasses, or snap-backs, he's good.

Considering the fact that he has spent pretty much his entire St. Jude's career ensconced in jock territory, it would be easy to assume that the arrogance his more popular counterparts are known for would have rubbed off on him. That, however, is not the case. After all, at the end of the day, he plays exceptionally well, yes, but Derek is still considered an outcast to them to some extent and that is perfectly fine with him. He has never been entranced by the idea of being with the more popular kids, even the ones he's played sports with his entire life. Derek is far more humble than he is over-confident. He's definitely sure of himself and his capabilities to the point that he will hardly allow himself to let one's negative opinions about his talents infiltrate his self-imposed self-assurance. He knows what he's good at and believes that he's been made solely for athletics. No one can tell him otherwise. And if him being knowledgeable of both his worth as a human being and as an athlete - not a jock, considering one is far more suited for social purposes than actual physical aptitude - gets him called arrogant, then so be it. He's perfectly capable of proving why his confidence is mandated. At the same time, his ability to believe in himself has not gone over Derek's head. It doesn't make him pig-headed enough to sneer down at others that aren't as good and definitely not make him want to pick on anyone just to make himself feel better. It's probably why, despite the fact that he most certainly is not a member of the revered A-Listers, Derek has maintained a pretty well-liked persona among his peers.
erek is extremely chilled and sure, is always up for fun and getting into a few shenanigans with his friends, especially his brother. He didn't get grounded for an entire month for stealing from a gas station they were never going to see again for nothing. Not to say that Derek needs to live life on the wrong side of danger to enjoy himself, though. He's perfectly fine with just hitting the movies or even staying home and hitting up Netflix. There's no doubt that he needs days where he isn't slacking off in terms of conditioning, but considering he practices every day, some TLC is kind of a generic make-up of who Derek is. He is a rather simple guy who cares deeply for his friends and family, to the point that yes, he can be overbearing. He's an older brother and has always been the son everyone looked to to help take care of things. And sure, you might say that it's an issue that he's probably ready to go from zero to one-hundred in a heart-beat over his family and friends, at least they're never able to say that he doesn't love them. Derek isn't a person who says what he doesn't mean, will be the first one to keep it real with you even if that happens to be in a blunt manner, and he's far more patient than most people that he knows, but that doesn't mean that he is without some flaws to his person.
Considering the fact that he has an exuberant sibling at home who drives their parents insane because of his own inability to share what he feels, it might be refreshing to some that Derek is such a genuine and honest person. He won't send you through the fire rings of hell trying to figure out what's on his mind. He'll just say it, not feeling inclined to partake in power play. To him, his classmates are kids just like him. Their money won't protect them from hearing his mouth if something they do causes him to say something. Their money also won't stop them from catching hands, either. Which only means that Derek's both fearless and confrontational, a deadly mix when added with his father's pride. His rather honest nature disallows him to not run up on someone when he thinks there's a problem between them or that they're picking on someone for absolutely no reason. He's definitely not what you would call impulsive; Derek thinks things through too much to be so. But once he's made his up about how he wants to approach a person or situation, best believe that he will do so and without fear, regardless of who it is and what their so-called status is. He's more than likely want to get back at someone when he feels that he, and especially someone that he cares about, has been wronged, and he's probably not someone you want to try to tell about themselves especially when Derek wants to believe that he's not wrong considering how stubborn he can be.

He sees himself moving to California at some point due to his future athletic career, particularly with either the Dodgers or the Clippers, but which has yet to be decided. He also knows for a fact that he's going into architecture and design because he's always wanted to do more than just play sports. At the end of the day, however, Derek wants the family life his parents had: the love, support, and all the good examples they've shown him. He just also wants to one day let his parents rest without having to do as much as they already do.
