Otherwise Grant is always well dressed and he keeps his dark brown hair combed immaculately at all times. He’s normally clean shaven, but his beard grows so quickly he’ll already have a five o’clock shadow nearly by late afternoon. In the winter he tends to have a short, neatly trimmed beard.
Physical Description: Greek god. That's the best way to Describe Grants physic. He has a football player build. Tall, broad shoulder, and built like a wall. He’s a big man who takes great pride and care in his body and fills out anything he wears rather nicely. Grant is a very handsome man, and he knows it. He keeps his dark brown hair relatively short. A little on the longer side, he falls in nice waves. It’s almost always slicked back or brushed neatly off to the side. His teeth aren’t perfect, giving him a charming, almost endearing smile. He has bright blue eyes framed by long dong eyelashes most women would die for. Grant doesn’t have any scars save for a few he received in highschool from old sport injuries. Leaving faint scars on his knees or hands. On His back between his shoulders blades he has a medium
sized tree with roots. On some of the branches are the initials of his parents and his brother.
-Personality-Description:
Grant is a charmer. He’s driven by his goals to succeed, and genuinely cares about the people of his home town, wanting them all to live their best lives the best way they can. That is, within his vision. It was this drive to help people that led him to want to become a lawyer. As well as just liking to argue and debate with people. He’s a man who likes facts, and stating those facts.
He’s witty, and smart. Oftentimes hiding just how smart he actually is behind the pretty face he has. He knows what he looks like and uses it to his advantage to get what he wants sometimes. Grant is not above using all the resources he has to reach his goals. Headstrong and stubborn, he likes to take everything on himself. Doing it himself and shouldering many burdens.
Extremely protective, there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for his family to ensure their safety. Losing his parents has forced him to grow up in a way he wasn’t prepared for yet, in the way of being his younger brother's guardian. Grant now has to juggle his life just now starting out of law school, while also trying to keep Cody out of trouble.
There’s a fragile balance between him and his brother. On one hand, Grant is your typical big brother. The merciless teasing, hair ruffling, essentially being an ass just because he can. On the other hand he struggles with being an instant parent and making sure his brother knows that if he needs anything, Grant will be there for him. One thing is for certain however, Grant would walk through fire for his brother and will do anything to protect him.
Grant a lot of times, thinks he knows what’s best for people. It has made him a bit manipulative.
Habits/Hobbies: Reading the morning paper, reading, Taking
Oreo for her evening walk. Likes to watch jeopardy, crossword puzzles, puzzles, Sudoku.
History:
History: Grant had a relatively good upbringing. He was an only child for a good portion of it until his baby brother was born his freshman year of high school. To say he was embarrassed that his mom was having a baby at her age would be an understatement, but nonetheless, the little squirt grew on him, and was his littlest number one fan. Grant keeps a photo of him and Cody at the state championship his senior of high school in his wallet.
Grant always knew he wanted to be a lawyer as he enjoyed arguing with people far too much. It used to drive his dad crazy. He pursued the dream, and managed to get a football scholarship to help pay for his degree. He was away from Xander’s Cross, a lot of the time. Only making trips home during holidays, or the fam would drive out to see him. After he graduated and took the bar exam, he worked for several years at a law firm in Portland. It wasn’t until a stormy winter night brought him home to Xander’s cross two years ago.
In an unfortunate and fatal accident, Grant’s parents had hit a sheet of black ice one night on their way home from date night. Leaving Grant and Cody both parentless. They quickly found that Grant was to be Cody’s parental guardian, as they had no other family members that wanted Cody, or were alive. Thrust into sudden parenthood, Grant had to move back to Xander’s Cross, moving back into his childhood home with his dog Oreo. Grant managed to get a job as the Mayor’s assistant and found the work someone what rewarding, but also stressful. He has a strained relationship with his brother, not knowing when to be an actual parent and when to be a brother.
His work with the Mayor was….interesting. Grant was brought in on some particular plans Rowan Starkwood had. It put him in some rather shady business, but also opened him up to a whole new super natural world he wasn’t completely aware of. He still doesn't understand everything, but hasn’t let it side track him from his goals. It was during one of these shady business deals on a quick trip to Portland that Grant found himself interjecting on a scene he couldn’t allow. Coming to Selene Varlett’s aid. Grant found their paths crossing again, and again. Offering her legal advice and then offering to help her move into her new place, he even helped with some house repair to the Lavender Moon, and before Grant knew it, he found himself missing the blonde more and more whenever he wasn’t in her presence.
The two have been taking things slowly, nearly a year of dating and they haven’t told her family or Cody that the two are dating. Grant likes to sneak over to the Lavender moon some nights, and always leaves fresh flowers for her when he’s able. Despite all the shady business deals he’s been doing and the world that’s been opened up to him, Grant thinks of Selene as his one spot of bright sunshine.
Grant has been trying to get Cody to follow in his footsteps of football or lacrosse, and has been trying to give him pointers. Grasping at something that the two of them can bond over, since they have different interests. Grant’s struggling, and wants to be a good brother, but is finding it difficult to relate to Cody.
In current events, Grant is trying not to panic. After finding the Mayor, he’s afraid. Very afraid of whatever killed the Mayor might come after him or those he cares about if he’s not careful. He’s keeping a tight lip, and is trying to stay calm, but to those he’s close too it’s clear Grant’s on edge.
