Personal Life
Family Life:
Cole's immediate family includes his father, Aran (53), mother, Joan (50) and sister, Norah (26). Two years ago, Norah married Gabriel (30). About a month ago, the couple welcomed a baby girl, Ava, making Cole an uncle.
Cole is lucky to say that he has always been close with his family, especially when so many of his classmates have divorced parents or maybe even worse- parents who are together but having affairs. It's seems to be an unfortunately common trend in Manhattan and Cole is happy to say that his family has always been close with the usual squabbles here and there. Aran owns a finance company based out of Manhattan and Joan designs jewelry for Tiffany & Co. The Traverse Family has always done well, and Cole's life has always been fairly easy. He has attended exceptional schools and has always had the resources available to help him do well in his classes, and pursue any extracurricular activities he's interested in.
Cole was lucky to be born into wealth and it's something that his father reminds him of every day. You see, his father is an Indian immigrant who moved to the country when he was only sixteen-years-old, with no more than $50 in his pocket. He and his brother worked tirelessly to go to school and make a life for themselves, all while supporting their impoverished parents and three other siblings back in India. Because of his father's past, he made sure to instill a good work ethic into his two children.
There aren't any exceptionally exciting moments from Cole's past. He has great memories from family trips to exciting places like Costa Rica and the Swiss Alps, and more unfortunate moments like when his uncle passed away a few years back, but nothing extremely shocking. Cole's life has been fairly normal, yet good. He's generally happy with his life.
Academic Career:
Cole isn't the next Albert Einstein, but after having private tutors on hand for seventeen years, he's definitely smarter than most kids his age. He is a straight A student but it does take a good bit of studying for him to maintain that.
Future Plans:
Cole has already been recruited to NYU's Steinhardt school for music, so he plans to attend after he graduates Saint Jude's. Although he would love to do something big with his music, he knows how competitive the music world can be, so his realistic goal is to own his own music school one day.

Disposition
Personality:
Charming | Artistic | Personable | Accepting || Stubborn | Unorganized | Forgetful | Trusting
Many people would describe Cole as being friendly and approachable. He's easy to get along with and can strike up a conversation with almost anyone. He does his best not to judge people and tries to give everyone a fair chance at being his friend. These traits have allowed him to befriend people from many social groups and he's probably one of the few guys at Saint Jude's who doesn't really have beef with anyone. Cole tries to focus on positive things and relationships and likes to make an effort to be considerate of other people's feelings and opinions.
On the flip side, Cole's friendly persona often leads him to be too trusting of people. He likes to think that most people have as pure intentions as he, and even when he does realize that people are shady or dishonest, he likes to excuse the behavior as having a reason. He isn't stupid or naive, but prefers not to be involved in drama. He can sometimes be dismissive of people's anger or desire for revenge because of this. Being forgetful and unorganized are two of his flaws that probably go together, but his creativity seems to know no bounds and often lead to him being a messy person. His schoolwork normally comes in the form of crumbled up papers at the bottom of his book bag and if it wasn't for his housekeeper, his bedroom would look like a war zone.
Hobbies:
Cole's true passions lie in music. He's an expert guitar player, preferring acoustic over electric, but he's also well-versed on the piano, cello and drums. He has recently taken up composing his own songs and music. Beyond music, he enjoys seeing films, watching baseball with his father and hanging out with his friends.
Bad Habits:
Cole has a tendency to forget to answer people's texts. He would much rather talk to them on the phone, so he usually just calls people instead of responding and if he doesn't do that, there's a good chance that you're never getting a response. He also dislikes getting hair cuts and tends to grow his hair out until his mother forces him to get one. It's a bad habit that he's had since he was a kid.
