Appearance: The exchange student surely doesn't need any help standing out. A fiery red mop of hair rests atop his head, with a pair of reading glasses tucked up over his brow to keep the hair out of his face, when he's not using them of course. On top of being very short for his age, he's also rather thin, downright scrawny even. But while his body seems more suited for someone younger, his face makes up for his deceitful size. His deep green eyes always seem rather distant, as if he's not even looking at whatever is in front o him.

He always carries backpack with him, wherever he can. It's always full of something, usually books, and combined with his short stature, looks almost comically over sized on his back. He isn't one for stylish clothes, and usually sticks to simply his school uniform, or a button-up shirt and jeans.

Personality:
Dreamer:
Jeremy can seem rather distant most of the time. The easy explanation is that he's 'in his own little world' but he believes that it's something much more than that. He's got a creative mind that's always running. He's constantly creating stories, theories, and ideas, which he always feels the need to write when he has the chance. At times, it's like he lives in the realms of fantasy and reality at the same time... and occasionally brings a bit of fantasy back with him into reality.
As much as he loves writing his stories, he gets really defensive over them, either claiming that their 'private' or 'not done yet'. But when he finally opens up enough to share... he craves approval.

Anxieties:
There doesn't seem like much of a middle ground for Jeremy's emotions. His high-strung nerves usually tip wildly in one direction or another. More often than not, it's usually to some degree of stress, worry, fear or panic. When this happens, his emotions get the better of him, and while it doesn't completely cripple him from whatever he needs to do, it usually hinder him.

Home:
Jeremy has high hopes for his time spent in the country. Mostly, he's just thankful to be away from home. But in truth, he never really considered his home country home either. But he's doing his best to try and fit in. He's plenty fluent in the language... but he's always worried that being in a new place means he'll mess something up.

Friends:
While he may not have trouble with friends that he's made. Making friends, especially just approaching strangers, is a huge hurdle for him. Normally, the experience gets him so worked up that he tries to get away at the first chance he gets. But once he's made friends, he's very loyal and sociable. Of course, if you are his friend, chances are he'll simply gravitate towards you as an excuse to hide from everyone else.

The Background

History:
Once Upon A Time...:
Jeremy Braun's early childhood was fairly unremarkable, for his home country at least. The only thing that made him stand out was the early age he started to read. Before long he had moved on from picture books, and was reading books much more advanced than a kid his age. But he didn't read to learn. He completely ignored anything close to a textbook. He just wanted stories.

The Monsters
Jeremy was a total bookworm in his early school days, to the point where he wasn't very sociable. He was more absorbed in the books than he was focused on his classes, or making friends. On top of this, the other kids started to grow up a lot faster than him. He was prime target for bullying. For many years he endured all kinds of bullying, and not just from a single person. He became an outcast from school, which only caused him to bury himself in his books more, as if he wanted to lose himself in his fantasies.

Quest or Cowardice:
High School became the worst for bullying. But it was also there, that he found an opportunity. An exchange student program. He could finally run away, go somewhere else to flee the place he was forced to call home, if only for a little while. He had no trouble playing it off as a genuine intellectual desire. A well-worded letter here, an essay there, and a little bit of rigorous language and culture study, and he was ready to go.

A Brave New World
Jeremy finally made it all the way to japan. But he doesn't know what to expect at all. Will this place be better than home? Or did he just sign himself up for a couple years of hell? Only time will tell. He can only hope that his own story will have a "happily ever after"

[Note: I am intentionally vague about just what country he's from, and simply implying that he's from a vague English-speaking country. ]
