Ethan is rich and is well known around his town. He goes to a school for the filthy rich. If the average person were to get in, they would have to have tip-top grades.
Ethan is just a love-deprived child. He's kind and caring but can be very jealous. Since as a child he had all he needed in material, he gets jealous of others who had what he didn't. Though he has nearly any flaws in his personality, being the kind, caring, and loving person he is, his jealousy could mess that up in an instant.
Ethan grew up rich. Both of his parents were successful, working to get all that money. Though he had toys, pets, and was pampered, he never saw those parents. They worked all day and often got home when he was to put to bed by his nanny. Since his parents were never home, he always had a nanny around to take care of him. Make him breakfast, bring him to school, bring him home from school, play with him, clean up after him, and put him to bed. He never got the love and care from his parents like most children did. Though he never got that love he was always a good kid - he listened and did what he was told, treating his nanny as if she were the mother he never had.
