Backstory
Paars never pieced a face with his birth mother, completely unknowing about what kind of person his father was. His mother cared for him until he was about a year old, passing away and passing Paars unto her old friend, Freya. It was sudden, but Freya at least vowed to care for Paars as if he was her own blood. Since then, he'd only hear stories of his birth family, but felt more comfortable considering Freya and Cafuné as his current family.
As a small child, he recalls Cafuné being difficult with him, side eyeing and avoiding him to nab Freya all to herself, like a child who'd become dethroned as the favorite. Freya didn't prioritize either, but Paars did need more attention as a given. If his sister tried to pick on him, he was pretty smart from the beginning, always able to get her in trouble or stump her. He became used to being crafty and tricky, a mischevious kid, but in the small instances Freya noticed, she took the time to speak to him and correct his behavior. Maybe he expected a scolding, but Freya's patience with him seemed to always take him aback. She didn't expect her kids to do the best things, just to not do the wrong things is all.
As he went to school, Paars can't say he had many he considered good friends. He wasn't shy or too mysterious to be approached, just someone that preferred his own space. Perhaps he had some apathy and wouldn't simply do things for others if it didn't convenience him, but he might have felt a bit lost trying to find his own footing at the same time. He was good at many things; soccer, saxophone, but not things he'd like to do in the future. He felt that if you love something enough, making it a full time job might make you lose your passion to some degree. At the same time, he doesn't want a future he'd loathe entirely either.
It's all stuff he thinks of from time to time, but he doesn't ask others for advice either; Freya is a busybody with a life he wouldn't want to follow exactly, as medical topics don't interest him, while Cafuné puts little thought into her lifestyle to help. Still, Paars has seen her become mature little by little, even if she mindlessly lives, so does he really need to plan so much if opportunities appear regardless? When he really thinks about it, Freya didn't intend to have the role she has now, initially aiming for less. If her confidence has truly carried over to Paars, he's confident that he'll end up becoming something great in the end.
At the moment, Paars is a high school freshman, a boy who's a tad bit shorter than other boys, a boy who's still just as well rounded in every subject as he was before. With a few years left of school, he contemplates whether he should dip his toes into college immediately, unsure of a major, or if should take a gap year to try new things. If anything, he still wants to stay close to his family in the long term, and maybe when he's an adult they can understand each other better, Cafuné especially.
