|Personality|
There is a reason that Chadwick has been dubbed 'The Puppy of HHS.' As a freshman, he had rolled up to the school in a shiny black limousine with the latest phone, special arrangements for his locker, a Louis Vuitton backpack, and the dopiest smile with the dimples that HHS had ever seen. His big dark eyes were always shining and imagine a slender young boy - still growing into his height - and a bigger afro. Because of this, Chadwick has maintained his title as the cutie of the school and mostly every girl knows it. However, what could set him apart from some of his fellow A-Listers is that he simply does not care about that. It's hilarious to be completely honest. On one hand, girls would flirt with him and sneak him numbers. On the other, he simply brushes them off with the sweetest of smiles and keeps on moving. Why? Because that's just not the kind of guy Chadwick is. Raised from a family that was known to be one of the wealthiest - if not the most powerful family in American History - Chadwick is a gentlemen first. Always sweet, always smiling - he is HHS' puppy.
What most people don't know is that behind the dopey smile and the adorable flustering that he is prone to because Chadwick is not a fan of being in front of people, there is a cunning young man who could either thrive in the business world or as a politician. Chadwick can be a very misleading individual, partly because he can be a spontaneous character, but also because that was just how he was raised. Again, when your extended family is the Rockefeller family with investments in mostly everything and unprecedented amounts of money that no one has ever officially counted up, you have to be suave and you have to be smart. And Chadwick can be a lot of things, given a particular situation, but the one thing he has never been is unintelligent. Why do you think he has a 4.0 GPA? And trust me when I tell you that has nothing to do with money. He has enough money to relax for a lifetime and he's only choosing to go to school because he wants to. And yes, people shove it in his face all the time about not really being an A-Lister because he would technically belong with the Nerds & Braniacs without his money, and Chadwick usually just tosses those persons a look and shoves his nose back in his book.
You see, Chadwick is a lot more private than people give him credit for. Detached would be the more fitting word. He has always been about his independence and his need to feel free, which is why he has chosen to go to college despite his father wanting it to be on his terms. It is why he chooses to make friends outside of his clique even though Yuna and the others - those who have a problem with it - would have a problem with it. Chadwick is not an individual that could be tied down for long. When it comes to relationships, he's not good with restrictions and easily jealous people, which is why his relationship with Shailene is so shocking. He needs trust and keeps a select group of people close to him. And when you're that close, you find that Chad can be easily flustered, is a sweetheart from dusk til dawn, and is a lot more fun than anyone will ever give him credit for. More than that, he is a loyal friend and even when it feels like he is being aloof, he will always have your back.

|Drives & Motivations|
"I think what drives me the most is a need to prove myself, which my Dad thinks is hilarious. He's like, you have one of the highest GPAs and you're technically one of the richest - if not the richest - kid in school. But it's not about that. I don't want to always be known as the kid who lived off his family's wealth. I want to say that I can do this on my own, with or without my inheritance. I don't want to be the rich black kid, I just want to be me and for everyone to respect me for who I am. Also, the work of other great writers and wanting to be like them drives me."
|Immediate Goals|
▪Get accepted into at least one of the Ivy Leagues that his father wants (Stanford) ▪Graduate with his Honors ▪Finish his novel by graduation ▪Get through the year without getting into any big tiffs
|Long Term Goals|
▪Get one of his book series turned into either a television show or film ▪Earn a Pulitzer Prize ▪Become an English professor at a great institution ▪Eventually settle down with a family at one of the family villas
|How does he plan to achieve his goals?|
"Well, I have to keep doing what I've always been doing - debating with my Dad through video games and late night cereal sessions, reading and writing as much as I can, but also upholding any relationships I might have that could help me in the future, whether on a superficial or emotional level."

|Forms of entertainment|
"Because it's not like I've said that I'm an avid reader this entire time."
|Most Prized Possession|
"My great-great grandfather kept a lot of leather-bound journals and I have all of them, including a few blank ones that my Dad gave me to use since he didn't like journals as a kid. I'm always carrying one around and writing in it."
|Most Valuable Possession|
"Probably my bike collection."

Reading| Writing| Hanging out with friends| Playing video games| Swimming
|Play any musical instrument?|

|Sports?|
Soccer & Swimming
|How would he spend a rainy day?|
"Reading, playing video games with his Dad, and probably inviting Shay over unless she's already over or if we're out with the others."
|Spending Habits|
"Oh yeah, I do have one of those. It's one of the reasons Dad likes Shay. She reminds me that I have an allowance and he doesn't feel like he's giving money to a wall. It's still not like I spend a lot. To be completely honest, I buy more for other people than for myself. The most I spend money on is like, book and video game money and the occasional present for a friend or one of my parents."
|Smokes?|
Never.
|Drinks?|
"Ha, funny you should ask."
No, it's hilarious only because Chadwick has a high tolerance and it's his father's fault. Before late night cereal sessions there was hot cocoa sessions and then his Dad starting lacing it with bourbon. And then his mother found out. Cereal seemed like the safe option.
|Other drugs?|

"Some days, I'll ride with Shay. Others, I use a bike. I even use the limo."
Depends on how he feels
|Mother|
Cynthia is the stricter of the parents, don't let anything that Chad has said fool you. Yes, she spoiled both Chad and Clementine, but she also has kept them grounded and is always the one executing punishments. Chad loves her dearly though and is almost always buying her something from his allowance. She hates it (and secretly loves it).
|Father|
Two guys who settle their disputes over soccer matches or video games obviously get along. Does Christian want Chadwick to go to a particular school and study certain subjects? Yes. Will he force him? Not really. He just wants to build Chad into a man that doesn't take anything at face value and stands by what he believes in. He's definitely the more lax of the parents, despite anything that Chad would tell you.
|Sister|
Young, married, and beautiful, Clementine is Chad's favorite person. She was the one he first introduced Shailene to and the three have been close ever since.
