Male, Mid 20s - Late 20s, Hispanic. Damien is charismatic, free spirited, and fun to be around. He can sometimes be immature and stubborn in his relationship with Teah. Because he's learned Teah so well he knows what triggers her, but can also see past some of her 'nonsense' as well! He likes to say little romantic or teasing phrases in Spanish (even though she can't understand him when he does). Damien and Teah just recently broke up (two weeks ago to be exact), but Damien doesn't understand why.? Everything seemed fine to him, he and Teah were getting along like college roomies, that's romantic, right? Damien asks Teah to meet at their favourite spot in the library to talk things out, but the conversation doesn't go how Damien had hoped. Teah wants Damien to start taking his future more seriously, to think bigger and go for the things he wants in life. Spanish Speaking an asset!
