Hobbies:
Figure Skating - Ethan began skating at a young age. He started with hockey, but made the switch to figure skating pretty soon after when he decided it actually looked kind of cool. He didn’t begin with the intention of competing; he wanted to learn and have fun. It came as a surprise to him when it turned out he was actually kind of good and his coach pushed him to take it more seriously. After that, Ethan performed well at the lower levels and, as of 2022, made the move up to seniors and moved to Destiny City to train with a new coach. He might not be a contender for Olympic gold, but he could still make the team. Maybe. Hopefully. Hey, one can dream!
Dance - A familiarity with dance might seem par for the course when it comes to figure skating, but Ethan had to be persuaded to give it a try as part of his cross training regimen. Once he did, he found out he kind of liked it. He prefers contemporary over classical and really enjoys hip hop. Recently he’s developed an interest in improv, which might not be as beneficial when it comes to his competitive programs, but it’s fun and he can always pull from the experience during a gala.
Fashion - Being decked out in various costumes has given Ethan a bit of an eye for fashion. He enjoys being involved in the design process for his costumes and has been known to make additional changes himself. This interest continues off the ice. Ethan loves to go thrifting to piece together his wardrobe with designer labels and cool vintage pieces. His greatest weakness is shoes, which he’s been known to spend big bucks for. He might have commandeered one of the extra closets in the apartment for his growing collection. Who needs a closet for towels when you can have a closet for shoes?
Virtues:
Expressive - Ethan definitely isn’t the reserved type and has no problem expressing himself. He is outspoken, with a confident demeanor and a generally positive outlook on life. Ethan is friendly, and receptive to the thoughts and opinions of others even if his own might differ. It usually isn’t too difficult for someone with a discerning eye to determine how he’s feeling. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his soul in his eyes.
Reliable - A competitive schedule and regular travel has given Ethan an air of maturity, whether or not he acts older than his years. He does his work without being hounded and keeps to his schedule without his coaches having to breathe down his neck. Ethan has a steady, predictable presence and a trustworthy nature. He is honest, and earnest, and helpful to a fault.
Adventurous - Trying new things has historically taught Ethan more about the things he enjoys in life than he would’ve known if he’d played it safe. He can be quite daring, and isn’t afraid of taking risks. Even when he might have doubts or second guess himself, he can put on a brave face. Being bold often seems like a prerequisite for competition, and Ethan does it well, even if he doesn’t always do it perfectly.
Flaws:
Tireless - To those inclined to quiet and solitude, Ethan can be… a lot. He isn’t excessively loud, but he is a performer, and performance requires a certain level of energy he doesn’t always know how to turn off. Ethan loves fun and can be quite boisterous. When he sets his sights on something, sometimes he just doesn’t know when to stop. He will push himself to his breaking point without even realizing he’s reached it.
Headstrong - Ethan can be stubborn. He knows what he likes, and while he’s willing to hear points to the contrary, it often isn’t enough to change his mind. His childhood coach once told Ethan he was a bit like a bull wrapped in rhinestones. Ethan has never seen a problem with this. Determination is a good thing, isn’t it? Unfortunately it can make him seem a bit hard-headed and willful.
Reckless - Ethan doesn’t always think of the consequences. If he wants to do something, he’ll do it, whether he’s done it a million times before or not. It isn’t that he lacks fear, he just doesn’t see much of a reason to let it control him. One of the first things he learned when he began skating was how best to fall. Ethan tends to approach the rest of life in a similar way. Sure, he might fall at some point, but he knows how to do it to best avoid injury.
