DISTINGUISHING FEATURES The thing that might stand out the most about this lad is his expressive blue eyes. It’s hard to hide any sort of emotion from them, be it a positive or negative sort of feeling.
CLOTHING STYLE Since most of his early shopping were handy-me-downs and thrift store findings, Grant’s wardrobe is sometimes dated or a bit ratty (well worn) Typical clothes any high school boy would wear though; jeans, shirts, sweaters.

POSITIVE TRAITS
- Loyal Grant is almost loyal to a fault when it comes to sticking by people. Travelling through the States and Canada while your hippie parents sell weed out of your van/house can cause a kid to know when to keep his mouth shut when cops come a knocking.
- Polite Growing up in a free-spirited and loving environment, Grant has never found a reason to be rude to the people he’s met. At least not to their face. His parent’s raised him to mind his manners and not to sink so low as to be rude to people
- Relaxed He's learned to not sweat the small stuff in life. It's better to give up trying to be in control and focus on how to better react in the moment rather than always trying to be prepared.
- Creative His parents are damn hippies, so of course they’ve nurtured Grant’s need to express himself. He was able to teach himself guitar and usually plays acoustic or even the ukulele
NEGATIVE TRAITS
- Indecisive Living without many rules or guidelines has inhibited Grant’s decision making skills. With no set example he often gets caught up in what he should do whenever given options
- Sheltered There are many modern devices and subjects that Grant is still trying to catch up on from living on the road/being home schooled has left him out of. He is not stupid, just a little naïve to some of the modern wonders of the world.
- Irritable His parent’s have driven him over the edge many times with their alternative lifestyle. Being forced to tag along has caused some resentment as well as a bit of a short fuse when Grant has to explain things over and over again.
- Quite Before coming to the Academy, Grant spent a majority of his time in his parent’s company. There wasn’t much to talk about with a huge forty-year age between him and his folks. He is socially developed, but use to a life of solidarity.

BEST MEMORY Going to the Academy for his first time. It was the first time he had ever been to a school, let alone had a room/bed/structure of any sort in his life.
WORST MEMORY One time when his parents almost got picked up by the cops. He was eight and had no idea why he was running, but they narrowly escaped. Later found out that he would be taken away from his parents if they had been caught.
LONG-TERM GOAL Finished up high school and take it form there. Overall he would like to have a steadier life than his parents. A wife, some kids, a house, and stable job would all be ideal.

HISTORY
Clayton and Mary have been travelling the roads of life together since they were both young. Torn from conventional ways of living, they hop from town to town selling scented candles, hippie trinkets, and weed as a means to get by. They own very little material possessions and have not been legally married. So when Mary ‘Sunshine’ was pregnant, they two did not cease to follow the man simply because of conception. Where exactly Grant was born is a mystery to his parents, but somewhere in their van is a birth certificate. It was rocky at first travelling across country with a new born, but both parents made it work without sacrificing their lifestyle. From the ages of infancy to about five Grant’s family would occasionally settle down at different gypsy camps for months at a time.
In his earlier year Grant never questioned how she grew up. He considered being on the road, no house, and home schooling to be a natural part of everyone’s life. His general academic skills were not behind any other kid his age, but he had never owned a phone, TV, or any sort of personal electronic. He’d catch glimpses of other kids at playgrounds, and began to question why he wasn’t with them. His parents tried to hush him up as much as they could, but Grant began seeking out information on his own. The trio travelled back and forth from the United States and into Canada, moving whenever neighbourhood watches or local police forces grew weary of the Beddlyn clan. Grant was aware that what his parents were doing was illegal in most areas they were selling, but he saw little harm in the activities.
Upon reaching his early teenage years, his mother and father were hoping to bring their son into the ‘family business’, hoping that she would be an Earth elemental like they were. Try as the might, he showed no signs as they attempted to train the boy. With little luck, his parents gave up, unaware that Grant had already discovered his abilities over Wind. He was plucked up out of obscurity by scouts when travelling through British Columbia and brought to the Academy. His parents were not happy that he was forced to go to institutionalize schooling, but were not going to put up a fight against ‘The Man.’ Grant was actually happy to be going to a school for once, surrounded by kids his own age and willing to live a normal teenage life. During the school year his parents travel around, but somehow make it back to Maple Hollow to see their son from time to time. Grant has opened up to the modern world and is ultimately happy to not be travelling all the time.
