EYE COLOR:hazel
HEIGHT: six foot two
WEIGHT: one fifty
BODY TYPE: thin, muscular
DISTINGUISHED FEATURES: scars along his right hand and arm from a car accident that he was in when he was fifteen.
PERSONAL STYLE: one would think, being brought up with large sums of money, that teddy would have some kind of distinct, chic, hollywood style, wearing the best suits or jeans money could buy. but, as with andrea, that was never really teddy's style. he let his sister influence him too easily for that, and hated it when his father bought him expensive things. although alexander never really understood this theory and tried to sneak three hundred dollar jeans into his wardrobe, teddy stood by it. while he was never really one to shop in places like goodwill or other second-hand stores because of his wariness of dirty people, he hated spending a lot of money on just one little thing.
teddy, for the most part, grabs whatever he can find off the floor on his way into the shower in the morning. sometimes his close looked nice enough, and sometimes they were wrinkled or worn looking, but he always made sure to at least look clean. he had always had a strange aversion to being dirty or being around those that were dirty. so while he might look a little ruffled in the morning, one could always count on teddy demtra being clean.
OTHER: nada.

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
teddy does his best to be the opposite of his father. where alexander is harsh and unkind, his son takes care of as many people as he can, never failing to do whatever he could for someone in need. in elementary school, he was always the first to share his crayons or his cookies, never asking anything in return. and now that he's in high school, he hasn't changed much, but it isn't crayons people are asking for. not that anyone has ever had sex with him; always being there for people generally meant you became the 'just-a-friend' type, which could get very irritating. of course, this trait does mean that he has been taken advantage of in his time, but hey, it's better than being an asshole.
teddy also has a knack for thinking very negatively of himself. for example, if something goes wrong, he's the type to blame it on himself straight away, even if it really isn't his fault. when things like this happen, teddy spins into a deep depression, becoming angry more quickly than usual and tending to lash out at those around him, which just makes things worse. eventually, he finds it in himself to forgive what he's done but may remains to be bitter about whatever happened for quite some time. in his head, it's almost inconceivable that people besides him could fuck up.
teddy, like many of the demtras except his sister, is also unfailingly loyal. where his sister and father trust no one, teddy seems to trust everyone and try to see the good things in them, rather than the bad. he's the worst about this when it comes to andrea. oh, he knows his sister has some issues, but he accidentally-on-purpose shuts them out, choosing instead to see that she is just a teenager going through some phases that she'll grow out of someday. as much as he tries to be very unlike his father, this is one trait that teddy learned very well from alexander.
of course, he's not all sunshine and rainbows. teddy has an addictive personality. much like his elder sister, he's attempted a variety of drugs, but stuck with alcohol as his main destresser since he first hit puberty. when in doubt, either get weed from andrea or go for a few drinks.

PARENTS: alexander demtra & natasha demtra
SIBLINGS: andrea demtra, nineteen
OTHER: emilia and ben demtra, eighteen, cousins
LIVING SITUATION: shaks, living with his older sister
HISTORY:
alexander demtra was, as far as anyone was concerned, practically a god. as one of the biggest producers in hollywood, he had some kind of part in almost all of the major productions of his time, whether he was just pulling strings for favors or attending parties and photo shoots to get names off the ground, to now and again becoming a larger name than the producer that was actually hired. and as was expected, alex demtra had a huge ego to go right along with his huge career, but hey, his life was good. he could have anything and anyone he wanted. this was still true even after the scandal that rocked his reputation with the arrival of his daughter, andrea. at first, alex hid his eldest child, but when the press finally caught wind of the story, his reputation wasn’t tarnished as he had originally thought. on the contrary, the public now saw alex as just as human as anyone else. no longer was he the heartless, rich
