Jakob Alistayre Rayne
15/male/gay

Changing schools is never easy- especially in the middle of the school year, and especially not when you've gone from a very open and accepting school, to... lets say, one that's not.
Because of his dad's job, Jakob has been to nineteen schools since starting kindergarten at the age of four, soon to be twenty. The last one he was at for two years- the longest they've ever stayed in one place, as far as he can remember. It was also where he'd been the happiest, able to truly express himself, after discovering he was gay. It had had a zero-tolerance approach to bullying, so he hadn't had to deal with any homophobic remarks more than once or twice outside of school. Now, though, his father's being relocated again, meaning another change in schools. A shame that his last school left him so ill prepared for the harsh reality that life's not all hugs, cheer, and acceptance.
To top that off, he's tiny- barely hitting 5'8", and weighing in just under 110lbs. Definitely an easy target for any potential bullies.
Having just transferred to East Mount Academy, Jakob doesn't know anybody at the school. He's only there because of his grades- there's no way his parents could ever afford to send him there on their own.
