Gabriel is, for lack of a better word, a complex person. He struts about as if he's got it all figured out. He gives off the idea that he's got everything he wants and needs, and that there's absolutely no problems in his life. Some may view it as fake, and maybe that's a way to describe it, but there's a lot more to it than that. Gabriel's bright smiles and long conversations aren't staged, in fact he genuinely loves to socialize and make new friends. His witty banter, sarcasm and sense of humor make it incredibly easy to get alone with him. And if he laughs at your jokes or asks about your day it's as genuine as it gets. The issue is, Gabriel is exceptionally skilled at ignoring problems in his life and pretending as if they do not exist. That's because, as well as he may seem to be able to handle himself and as put together as his life may appear, it couldn't be further from the truth. But he's got just one rule; only let people see what they won't be able to use against you.
He's dishonest, not in the sense that he's always lying to people, but more in the sense of never telling the whole truth. Sometimes even distorting facts to keep others from asking too many questions. He likes to keep a safe emotional distance, even from these he deems his close friends. This often leads him to feel lonely, but in his mind being lonely is much better than the alternative. And just try and change his mind about that. There is very few people on earth that are more stubborn than Gabriel Levin. He will stick to his own way of doing things even when he knows he's wrong. He tends to ignore advice, and challenges those that challenge him. But underneath the witty, charming, handsome guy act, he's just as scared and confused as he has been all his life.

|Happiest Memory|
There was a point in time when Gabriel and his family got along so well. When he was younger, and he believed they'd love and support him no matter what he did. He remembers going on their annual vacations, Gabriel, his sister and his parents. His favorite one was when they went to Disney World. They spent an entire week at the resort and Gabriel had the time of his life.
|Saddest Memory|
During his high school days, Gabriel worked to get up the courage to come out to his parents. He thought about it for weeks, of how he would say it and all the possible ways it could go. Even with all the ways he thought it could go wrong, he was determined to do it. Until a certain incident in his school brought out his parents' true feelings. A student from his grade had commuted suicide by jumping off of the school roof. Gabriel barely knew the guy, but he watched it all happen. After much investigation, it was found that the boy was being severely bullied for being homosexual. Gabriel shared what had happened with his parents, but instead of being supportive and helping him get through the shock, they said something that is still engraved in his head to this day. "It's what he deserved." From then on he vowed to never talk about his sexuality with them, or anyone for that matter, no matter how much it hurt him.
