Eye Color
Like his older sister, Callum inherited their mother's vibrant eyes. People often get lost in the oceans of blue and fields of green his eyes vary between, and he tends to call this his best feature.
Hair
Callum and his father are extremely alike in appearance, and he often gets told he looks like a younger version of the man. His hair is a chocolate brown coloring, and he prefers to keep his hair short. It's out of his face, and he can still run it through his hair.
Height
Only two inches taller than his sister, Callum is one of the shortest males in his class. This simply gets him teased by most other peoples.
Weight
Not an athletic boy by any means, Callum is one hundred and thirty pounds, only weighing in ten pounds heavier than his sister. His mother often chides him on such.
Scars
Callum can only count one scar he has, and that's on his thumb. He has no idea what they're from, and doesn't remember getting them.
Tattoos
With help of his elder sister, Callum has managed to get a few tattoos he hides from his mother.
○A small wave on his foot, for his zodiac's element○
○Two birds he got in honor of his sister and brother, on his forearm○
○A small flock of birds on his foot, above the wave, signifying his family.○
○A guitar on his shoulder, due to his dream of being a musician.○
Piercings
Like his siblings, Callum has both his ears pierced, he often wears faux gauges in them. He aspires to also get his tongue pierced, but doesn't want to upset his parents in doing so, so he doesn't dare get something that extreme.
❝If you give me some books to read, and a cup of tea, I'll probably worship the ground you walk on.❞
"i will be right by your side,
if i can't find the cure i'll will fix you wish my love"
"you gotta keep on keeping on
even with the feeling"

Personality
Selfless➜ Callum is a selfless person, and will often put people before his own. This is increasingly seen with his mother especially, putting her plans for his life before his own personal wishes. He doesn't wish to let people down, so he keeps himself under a protective shield that he just goes with what people tell him because he feels selfish focusing on himself. He doesn't like the feeling of doing things for himself, which is why he seems to follow every order he's given by his parents. His sister often seems to say he's like a welcoming mat on the front porch step, he just lets people walk over him. However, he doesn't see this as an issue, because he's helping people.
Introverted➜ Due to his insecurities in himself, Callum is very much an introvert. His timidity adds onto his uneasiness in big and loud places, along with having to socialize with people he barely knows. He doesn't mind being with people he knows, which is why he looks forward to Rosefell every summer, he can leave the timid part behind. However, he is still an introvert. Meaning, after a certain time of dealing with people (regardless of how much he loves them) he needs to get away from them, be alone. Not that he minds people, he just prefers solitude. The only ones he'd allow to break his solitude are his siblings.
Sarcastic➜ Around his siblings, Callum becomes the embodiment of sarcasm. Taking things to a heightened level of sarcastic comments, he tends to not realize he is being such. Callum has a tendency to use this as a defensive mechanism, especially in school, that seems to get him in more trouble. Despite his timid nature, his mouth has been shown to have a tendency to make matters worse. Especially under the influence of his brother and sister's combined energies, he tends to become a more energetic and outreaching person.
Cautious➜ Cautious Callum never seems to take very many risks. His tattoos are an example of him being cautious as he has them placed in places that can be easily covered. He doesn't like to take risks, simply because it's not in his nature. He's not like his siblings, and prefers to take in the slow lanes. He often chides his brother about his skateboarding, and his carelessness, in return getting comments of being similar to his mother. Callum doesn't like it, but he can easily see where it comes from. He doesn't try to be overbearing, but he worries for his siblings and often tries to advise them into less difficult situations. They seem to be one of the very few people that can convince Callum to escape the comfort zone.
Insecure➜ Callum feels as if he's not good enough. He constantly surrounds himself in a cloud of insecurity. He's not scholarly like his sister, he's bot boyish like his brother. He doesn't feel like he fits in the family. His mother often contributes to the causes of his insecurity, harshly critiquing his want to pursue being a rock musician instead of a classical one. He doesn't view himself as being able to make it in life, he just wants to make everyone happy. So, he pushes his insecurities down and deals with it. He's only opened up to his sister, and has revealed to her only his biggest insecurity. His homosexuality, seems to be his biggest one, simply due to being in a religious family. His mother sets him up on countless dates with nice girls, Callum really does think they're nice women, he just doesn't like them. He normally tries to blame it on "they didn't connect", which results in him letting his mother down in a way. He doesn't like himself in general, he thinks he's the black sheep of his family because he's not outspoken or blunt. He's timid and meek in his eyes, and he doesn't see how people can like him.
❝Family is more than blood, it's connections you build.❞
"no, i think i'll stay in tonight
skip the conversations and the "oh, i'm fines""
"maybe i should think before i talk
i get emotional and words come out all wrong"
❝My dad is rarely around, and it feels like I've taken on the paternal role to Pierce. But I never speak bad about the man, because he is the one who created me, and has provided for my siblings and I. I will always love him.❞

❝Oh....her and I have a seemingly perfect relationship to her. I'm the child that she dotes over and knows she can control me, and I don't view it as that way. My mother and I have our issues, that I will never bring up, but at least she doesn't my dreams of being a musician. Although it's not my preferred genre, she seems to be happy with it and that's all that matters.❞
Violet Rayne Hollingsworth ✦ Age: 19 ✦ Older Sister ✦ College Student ✦ Living
❝If there was anyone I owed everything to, it'd be V. She's kept me grounded, helps me with my panic attacks, she's like my mom. The nurturing persona she has just is warm and I feel safer with her.❞
Pierce Joshua Hollingsworth ✦ Age: 14 ✦ Younger Brother ✦ High School Student ✦ Living
❝He's a little shithead, and only I can call him that. He's my brother, I love him to death, although I do think he could be a little more carefull on his skateboard.❞
❝Everybody has their story, here's mine.❞
"i just need to put myself first
i'm always trying my hardest not to pick myself apart"
"could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
can I be him?"
History
Ahhh, yes. The Hollingsworth household was not an easy life others were made it out to be. Born on a stormy night in March, with not so much as sound, would be the middle child in the chaos of the Hollingsworth family. Callum, wasn't really an outgoing child, by the time his mother managed to have him he was placed in numerous activities. Most being music related. He would have school on the weekdays, on Tuesdays he'd attend violin lessons, on Wednesdays he's attend his voice lessons, and on Thursdays and Fridaus he had piano and tutoring.
As he turned two, his brother Pierce was born. Callum vowed he would protect the small child, alongside his sister. He took a vow, he would never let them down, noticing his mother cracked under the pressure. For such a young age, Callum already knew that he wasn't going to hurt his parents. He had a clear understanding of who he was and wanted to keep other people safe. Even if it meant he wasn't safe.
When his sister was thirteen, Callum realized he was old enough to help her, he often helped his brother with his homework. Feeling proud of himself, he also learned how to cook. Callum and V essentially had become the parents. Not that he minded, he and his sister were making life easier for both his parents and themselves.
Callum always knew he was different from most boys his age, he preferred female companions but showed no interest them romantically. Not that at ten they should, but it was when children began showing a little interest. Callum was always the "mother" in games when he and his friends played house, and he was often made fun of for it. But he didn't mind, he was taught by his elder sister that not a lot of people had good home life, and they sometimes took it out on others. Callum seemed to be more kind to them each time they did. Violet and Callum became closer over the fact, Callum often was made fun of.
As he got older, hitting his early teens, his sister began to argue more with his parents. Not that, he was ignorant of such a thing, this happened on and off over the previous three years. Pierce had taken an interest in skateboarding, and his mother was trying to force the same lifestyle she had managed to place on her older two. At thirteen, Callum began to fight more often with his mother on Pierce's behalf. He didn't care about himself, he was simply doing it for his brother.
As he got to this age, he noticed his sister often brought up the LGBT community. He had begun to get nervous because he was essentially coming to the terms of him being gay. He would tell his sister, he was gay when he turned fourteen directly before she'd leave for college. This brought Violet and Callum to a level of understanding in a way. When Violet called him and told him she felt like she was going to commit suicide, he immediately flew down to see her. He had a level of understanding, the year before being placed on depression and anxiety medications due to an altercation at school. But he more than anyone looks forward to the summer, because he can be more himself there without his parents over his shoulder.
