Having been born to relatively short parents didn't give Liam much of an advantage in that department. He stands at about five feet, seven inches (though he hopes to gain a couple more inches as he gets older, but doesn't actually have a lot of hopes) and weighs around 130 lbs give or take. He has always been a small boy, ever since he was born. Most of the time, it's to his advantage, but there are a few instances in which his height and stature work against him. Much like his body, Liam's face and facial features are petite. His eyes and mouth are narrow, and his nose can be described as a button nose. This too works to his advantage, as his facial structure is small and perfectly accommodating for his features.
His style can be described as comfort chic. Because he is a dancer, half of the time he can be spotted in sweatpants and t-shrts but never bland. They're normally bright colors or sport some sort of logo on them. On the days he's not dancing (which isn't very often) he wears whatever fits his mood. Though it normally consists of jeans, shirt, jacket and sneakers, the colors and styles of these vary greatly depending on what he's got planned for the rest of the day. One thing is for certain, however; Liam always looks good.

Always the optimist: Leo was basically born with a smile on his face, and yes, he's been through some hardships but he's always managed to bounce right back up. He enjoys life too much to give up. A class clown. In his former middle school he was that one kid in class that always made everyone laugh when they weren't supposed to, the one that laughs too loudly or too much, the one to make odd faces or incoherent noises when confused. He doesn't mind making a fool of himself and being outrageous if it means he gets to put a smile on his friends' faces. One of the most selfless people you'll ever meet: Leo doesn't have a selfish bone in his body. He's always looking for the benefit of others. His grandparents always taught him that living for others is much more enjoyable than living only for yourself. He has always taken that to heart. He can be quite naive at times. He doesn't find it hard to trust people and will willingly give anyone his friendship. When in a relationship, he will give the other person 110% of himself. Because of this, some tend to take advantage of him, and regardless of how many times it happens, he never learns his lesson. However, he isn't a complete pushover. He's not afraid of standing up for himself or his friends when needed, and if you do him wrong once it will be extremely difficult to regain his trust. He can be fairly resentful in that aspect. It's not impossible for said person to gain his trust again, but it is extremely difficult. But he's loyal and if you treat him kindly, you'll have a lifelong friend. He also has a shy side to him, in the sense that he blushes easily when complimented, and finds it too difficult to tell someone he likes them. All of the relationships he's had in the past have been after the other person's confession. And the one time he did try to do it himself he was shut down. He can be quite the scatterbrain always misplacing or forgetting things or events. But overall, he's passionate. A real sweetheart who isn't afraid to give his everything to the people he loves.

Liam's mother (of Thai descent) and father (of Chinese descent) met in high school. They were high school sweethearts and were even named prom king and queen. Towards the end of their senior year, his mother discovered she was pregnant with Liam. Though his father promised he would stay by her side through heaven and hell, he left her to fend for herself the moment they graduated. Luckily, her parents were kind. They helped take care of her during the pregnancy and helped take care of baby Liam while his mother worked to provide for him and went to school to get some sort of degree. Eventually she found a good, steady job and the two of them moved out. It was nothing but smooth sailing for a while. When he was only eight years old, his mother was scheduled to go on a business trip to France. His grandparents were more than willing to look after him while she was gone, and Liam didn't fuss. She was planned to be back a week later, but on her flight back there was a bad storm and the small plane was knocked out of the sky. They found the remains hours later, but there were no survivors. From there on out, Liam stayed with his grandparents.
He'd always been a strong boy, but after losing his mother, his strength and confidence plummeted. He was much quieter during his late middle school years and some kids took advantage of that and bullied him nonstop. For being too pretty, for being too quiet, for being too short, for being too smart. Anything they could really think of. It got to the point where he would cry for hours and hours because he didn't want to go to school the next day. His grandparents were at a loss for what to do, so they moved towns and Liam started at a new school. Gracewood Academy, to be exact. Liam auditioned for their dance program and was accepted as one of their top candidates. His confidence was still shattered, just like his little heart, but the kids at this new school were kinder. It wasn't long before he found a good group of friends. From there on out, Liam began his road to recovery. His confidence began to rise once again, he's made many good friends and his smile is as bright as ever. However, the scars of the past are still there, and as much as he likes to tell himself he has fully recovered, there's still a very scared and sensitive boy hiding deep down.
