NAME: Gabriel Luke Berry AGE & BIRTHDAY: 20 years old. 18th September. FACE CLAIM: Matt Cornett. HOMETOWN: Lima, Ohio. CURRENT CITY: New York City. SEXUAL ORIENTATION & GENDER: Cismale. Bi-curious.

Sometimes I can be: Energetic, Curious and Devoted.  Othertimes I can be: Un-trusting, Self-critical and Shy. 

Gabriel is something you should never call him, unless you’re his Mom and even then she’ll get a scowl in response. Gabe has lived an unsettled life but it’s all he knows. Whether it be having to move house at five because a “bad man broke in” and then living at his Grandparent’s. He’s spent a lot of time at his Grandparent’s house while growing up. Not that he minded too much, he was always spoiled by them and he could see his Mom was busy.

Moving to their own house was a dream, it was their house. He ran around the house three times with excitement upon arriving and was astonished to hear he had his own room. It meant a lot for the boy to feel some normality.

The break-in left him unsettled and Gabe often demanded his Mom to check all of the windows and the doors countless times before he went to sleep. Upon learning of her new job as a Police Officer, his fears soon settled and their house became a safe space, one which Gabe is rather protective over.

As the years went by and he got older, he began to recognise how little of his mother he saw. Going through Middle School and having to wait for his Grandparent’s or a family friend to collect him became tiresome. Not knowing if she’d be home for dinner or if he could ask her to come to his basketball game started to take it’s toll. That all changed after blowing up at his Grandma.

In a fit of tears, he let out the bottled up emotions, claiming he wished she was home more and why did she have to go out and help everyone else but she wasn’t there to help with his homework. He argued the point about her keeping him safe, yelling that he’d rather her be here than be safe. After a long conversation with his Grandma, he came to realise a new perspective.

Besides mixed feelings, Gabe adores his mother. She’s his world and the only reason he ever feels upset with her is because he’s missing her. He loves getting her attention and if it was just them against the world for the rest of his life, he would be happy with that. That ended up changing when his Mom met someone and Gabe immediately became apprehensive.

Gabe has a huge love for technology. He can fix your iPhone screen in a matter of minutes and knows his way around computers and software, like he speaks the coding language. His room is littered with dismantled cameras and pieces of junk he’s found at the thrift store. Looking through a lens is where he discovered his love of storytelling. He’s created a few animation films and chose to persue that world when taking his next step in life towards University.

After a year and a half at University of Ohio, Gabe knew his heart wasn’t in his degree. His Moms had moved to New York and although he had his Uncles, Gabe couldn’t help but feel some seperation anxiety. That and the burden of running out of money was stressing him to no ends. Who knew text books and computer softwares could be so expensive?

A transfer to NYU was arranged and he’s moved back in with his parents for the weekends and stays on campus during the week. He’s excited for the Directing and Animation course he’s enrolled on and a little nervous for the basketball try-outs coming up but he feels more settled, when the city isn’t being too overwhelming.Though he’s got his Moms to put the world right when needed!

BREEZE BERRY-ROSE (Mother): 

Gabriel adores his mother. How could he not? She’s his entire world. He knows her too well, often talking in a series of grumbles whenever the time is anything before noon. When moving out, he was reassured from regular Facetimes and back and forth texts of ridiculous memes. He does worry about her in her line of work but he chooses to ignore that. Seeing her happy is his comfort place and after Iris moved in, he’s noticed the smile very rarely disappears. They’re definitely the Three Musketeers. 

 IRIS ROSE-BERRY (Step-Mother): 

Hearing of someone else joining the two of them came with immediate defiance. He was eight and definitely not fond of the idea of sharing his Mom. With the constant unrest, he only met Iris with evil stares and silence. To him, she was first percieved as a threat, someone to take his Mom away from him. How wrong he was. Iris is now his ride or die, she’s his best friend and more importantly, she’s his Mom. He won’t ever forget the day he asked Breeze if he was allowed to bring the question to Iris. Asking her to be his step-mom was a moment he holds dearly. She’s the constant he needs in his life and she grounds both him and his mother in different ways. 

UNAMED (Father): 

As he’s grown and become more aware of the world, Gabe has come to realise he does have a father out there. Not that he would ever give him the right to own that title, Gabe had hoped if he was interested in him then he would have reached out. Sometimes he blames himself and becomes overly critical, claiming he’s not good enough at things, stemming back to the idea that he wasn’t worth a hello. He remains curious and questions whether he wants to see him but quickly cuts that idea short. That man doesn’t deserve him or a look-in on the little family they have.
