Bio: As a child, Wendell grew up mainly around his mother, older sister, and his sister’s friends; he would let them dress him up and do his makeup and he found himself enjoying it much more than he realized he should of. His father would come home from work and shake his head at the sight of young toddler Wendell walking around in dresses that were too big for him and heels that were too tall for him. But luckily for Wendell, the man was usually too busy to say anything about it or do anything about it. His father might have wanted to toughen him up a bit but he didn’t need to. That was the job for the bullies at school.
That started quite early on and Wendell specifically remembered the day he had shown up to school in nail polish (his sister thought it suited him and refused to take it off of him) and was thrown into his first locker. That was just in middle school though and things would only get worse. Once in high school, Wendell discovered his love for acting in school plays and also writing, becoming head editor of the school paper when he was just a junior. Though he was intelligent and quite friendly, he still found himself faced with bullies and more importantly at the opposite end of a fist. It was even more embarrassing when his older sister was the one to butt in and scare off the bullies. Wendell couldn’t even defend himself and though he tried to grow out of his more feminine tastes, they seemed to be sticking for much longer than a kid playing dress up. He began to find himself attracted to boys over girls and tried to push those thoughts away before they got out of hand but, like every tragedy, he found himself falling in love with his best friend. That ship never had the chance to sail however as Wendell never said a peep. Not that it wasn’t obvious, at least by stereotypes that he could easily deny and turn around on anyone who said anything, but it was ironically true. Before he left for college though, he came out to his sister but didn’t have the heart to tell his parents, not exactly sure how they would react even if they probably knew already.
In college, Wendell studied journalism and theater, being quite successful in both and selling some of his plays to earn some cash for himself. He’s never been in a real relationship, going on random dates with girls in high school that never went beyond first base and having a onetime fling with a boy named Peter in a drunken college night but that experience was not the best for him and it left him heartbroken and simply confused. He’s a hopeless romantic but never knows how to flirt properly, always ending up as just a blushing mess, though he can certainly stand up for himself when he needs to. Over time, Wendell accumulated a small group of friends but still mainly keeps to himself along with writing on his own under the pseudonym Jackson Quinn, a combination of his parents’ first names. Even if it doesn’t show, Wendell doesn’t like being alone and he'll always end up meeting people and making friends with the wrong people just so he doesn't have to be lonely for another night. Sometimes he ended up in worse situations than others, but it all usually just added to the inspiration he needed for his stories. Experience is what Wendell craves the most and the people that can give it to him become his obsession.
