APPEARANCE
Benjamin has always been the boy looked over his entire life. Standing next to {Romeo}, Ben had a hard time catching anybody's eyes. He is quite tall, and lanky, never truly adapting to his height. However, most would say that he is quite handsome. His facial features are soft, defined by a slim nose and angled jawline. His eyes are what most would call hazel, sometimes appearing green or a light brown depending on his mood. His hair he keeps swept to the side most of the time out of his face, or occasionally slicked completely back.
Benjamin's style can never be categorized as a specific sort of fashion, seeing as he wear clothes from every sort of the male spectrum. On most days you will catch him in casual attire with his hair caught up in a hat. However some days he might be compelled to wear something more classy such as polo shirts with sweaters or brightly printed button downs. On particularly lazy days for him, where he's not in the mood to spend the extra minute to pop in his contacts he will wear his rectangular spectacles instead.

PERSONALITY
Benjamin has always been that of a peacemaker between his friends. He has only always cared for the good of others and is quick to step in and break up any arguments or fights with kind words instead of fists. He has mainly done this with his cousin, {Romeo} who follows his heart instead of his brain, but none the less Ben would do anything for him. Along with being a peacemaker, Ben is trustworthy. Throughout the trouble {Romeo} has put them both in he has always stepped forward to defend his family and friends no matter the cost, and is very loyal to the ones he loves. He has been the encourager his entire life with his cousin and his friends, pushing them to their goals, and the comforter when things go bad.
He has always been a very compassionate and understanding person, stepping up to be the shoulder to cry on when someone needs it. He finds himself to be great at giving advice for others troubles when they need it and an avid listener. He has a very docile and peaceful nature, turning away from violence and preferring a more peaceful route to deal with feuds.
Ben has never really been good at standing up for himself and can be considered quite, shy and timid. He has had no problem letting his cousin stand in the spotlight, and becomes uncomfortable when he is thrown into it. In addition to helping others with their problems, he hasn't quite worked out the problems within himself. From his sexuality to his inability to stand up for himself, and only others.
In addition to his Shakespearian counterpart his name, Benvolio, means well wishing, which is reflective of his character throughout the play as he becomes an advisor and peacemaker for Romeo.

QUIRKS

He enjoys classical literature and poetry often reading it in his free time. He loves playing the piano and often sing though he doesn't do it around others.
DISLIKES
He hates loud music and parties even though {Romeo} drags him along to many. He dislikes violence and fights hates the thought of gossip. He hates artificially flavored grape candy and soda, oddly he can't stand the flavor. Even though he vocally doesn't express this he hates being ignored.

FAMILY TREE
Kensen Grey | Father | 44
Andromeda Grey - Lynn | Mother | 42
HISTORY
Benjamin Alexander Grey was born to Kensen and Andromeda Grey on a particular beautiful snowy morning as his mother would say. Growing up he lived a rather quiet life in the suburbs not making very many friends due to his shy nature. He did however become best friends with his cousin {Romeo} and then later on met one of his other good friends {Mercutio}. His friends almost always tended to get him into trouble, but he couldn't deny that they didn't have a lot of fun. Highschool was much of a blur for Ben, seeing as how most people just forgot he was even there. He was the quietest out of their friend group, and definitely the one most people tended to overlook. He didn't mind though, in his opinion it just made things a lot easier for himself.
He eventually took up piano his sophomore year, and for a while he was almost always seen at lessons after school until he became quite adept at it. Now that he's an adult he plans on moving away from Messina to attend Yale University, where he would pursue a career in the Arts, but currently he is still stuck in the small town.
"Is love a tender thing?
It is too rough,
too rude,
to boisterous,
and it pricks like a thorn."
