He was born in Canada, his mother has Irish roots and his father is fully Canadian.

He has an endearing tooth gap between his two upper front teeth, a wide grin and eyes that have a false looking spark of energy.

Fact(s): While Elijah may seem bright and chipper all day every day, he will take off his mask of energy and joy revealing a very sad, lonely and anxious boy if he’s alone or with someone he trusts.

Mannerisms:
He carries himself energetically, most times skipping instead of walking.

He tries his best to be friendly to everyone in school, even though the other students don't ever return kindness.
His only motivation in life is hoping that one day he'll find someone who won't leave him like almost everyone else he knew has.

He lies constantly about what he feels and what his opinions are, in fear of offending someone.
He'll also bottle up his emotions a lot, leading to him having a breakdown or an explosion of everything he held back.

Not sure about this either ;w;

He also is very good with animals, speaking to them softly as though they were human.

Elijah's garden is his safe space. In amongst the spinach and radishes is where his mother taught him all she knew. The two would spend hours upon hours digging in the dirt, planting seeds,

He's a very peppy and extroverted person when he's around other people, though, he's often viewed as a pushover, teachers pet, and overall goody-goody by his classmates.

He's has an immense heart, one of which has been battered and bruised for years. At this point, it's like an old bouquet of flowers... weak, crippled, bending over backwards at the slightest gust of wind, and thrown away only once the colors have been drained out of its petals.

An intense fear of abandonment and perhaps a bit of depression.
