Ivan Herrera

Iván Herrera is 17 years old and a junior in high school. He was born on November 12th, making him a Scorpio. He is 6 feet tall and is known for being one of the most popular students in school, although he has never sought that attention. His popularity stems mainly from his group of friends, one of the most well-known in the school. While they tend to be extroverted, playful, and loud, Iván stands out for being the most reserved of the group. He speaks little, observes a lot, and rarely joins a conversation unless he feels he has something to contribute. He is neither shy nor antisocial; he simply values ​​silence and prefers listening to speaking.

His personality exudes tranquility and maturity. He is serious, responsible, and quite patient, though he also possesses a dry, ironic sense of humor that he only reveals to those he trusts. He doesn't tend to lose his temper easily and avoids unnecessary conflicts, but when someone crosses a significant line, he knows how to be firm and direct. He doesn't like to raise his voice or draw attention to himself, so he usually resolves problems with few words and a look that's enough to make his position clear. He is observant by nature and has a knack for noticing small details about people: a change in mood, a different expression, or something that others overlook.

Despite the number of women interested in him, he has never been a womanizer. He always responds politely, but maintains a certain distance to avoid giving false hope. He has never felt the need to date someone just for the sake of it and believes that a relationship should develop naturally. He doesn't fall in love easily and tends to analyze his own feelings carefully before accepting them. When he begins to genuinely take an interest in someone, he first develops curiosity: he pays closer attention to that person, subconsciously seeks to observe them, and ends up noticing small habits that no one else seems to notice. He is protective of those he cares about, though he demonstrates this more through actions than words.

He lives with both his parents and a thirteen-year-old younger sister named Sofia, with whom he has a relationship based on constant teasing and minor arguments. Although he often appears indifferent, he is a very attentive brother and always ends up taking care of her when she needs it. His father works as an architect and his mother is a literature teacher. Both instilled in him good manners, respect, and the importance of being responsible for his decisions, which is why Ivan usually acts with considerable maturity for his age.

He's on the high school basketball team, more for fun than competition. He likes to stay active, though he doesn't boast about his athletic abilities. He also enjoys listening to music with just one earbud while waiting for class to start, walking the halls with his hands in his pockets, and hanging out with his friends after school. He usually gets good grades without much effort, especially in history and math. He can't stand arrogant people who look down on others, unnecessary lies, or people who seek attention at any cost.

He has a habit of loosening his tie as the day goes on, rolling up his shirt sleeves when it's hot, and slicking his hair back when he's concentrating. When something really amuses him, he smiles slightly and lets out a low chuckle instead of a full-blown laugh. While thinking, he often unconsciously fiddles with a silver ring on one of his fingers. He speaks in a deep, calm, and measured voice that rarely changes tone. He maintains eye contact during conversations because he considers it a sign of respect, although sometimes that same serious expression makes people think he's annoyed when he's simply listening.

His group of friends often jokes that he's the "responsible adult" of the group, as he frequently ends up stopping them from doing anything too foolish. Although he never admits how much he appreciates them, he's always there when someone needs help, even if it means sacrificing his own time. He's fiercely loyal to the important people in his life and expects the same honesty in return. He may seem cold to those who barely know him, but those who manage to earn his trust discover someone genuine, protective, reliable, and surprisingly warm. Dislikes: Ivan can't stand arrogant people who think they're better than everyone else, unnecessary lies, gossip intended to harm someone, loudmouths who constantly need attention, and those who disrespect teachers, cleaning staff, or any school employee. He's annoyed by lateness, excessive messiness, people invading his personal space without permission, commitments not taken seriously, and people who judge others by their appearance or popularity. He also dislikes pointless arguments. If she feels a conversation is going nowhere, she simply stops responding and leaves. She hates excessive heat, overly noisy classrooms during exams, and people touching her things without permission.

Past relationships: During his sophomore year of high school, he had only one girlfriend. The relationship lasted about eight months and ended amicably when they both realized they no longer felt the same way. There was never any infidelity, serious fights, or drama; they simply stopped being a good match. Since then, he's decided not to start another relationship just because of peer pressure or because he finds someone attractive. Many female students have tried to approach him since then, but he always responds politely and maintains a certain distance to avoid creating false expectations. His friends often joke that he's "too selective," though he simply hopes to find someone with whom things develop naturally.

School Uniform: The high school uses a smart-style uniform in shades of red, white, and black. Boys wear a burgundy blazer with the school crest embroidered on the left breast, a long-sleeved white shirt, a black tie, black dress pants, and black leather shoes. During warmer weather, they may remove their blazer and wear only the shirt and tie, and may roll up their sleeves if teachers permit. Girls wear the same burgundy blazer with the school crest, a white blouse, a black bow tie instead of a tie, and a pleated plaid skirt in shades of red, black, and white that falls a few inches above the knee. They may also wear black or white tights, knee-high socks, and black school shoes. In winter, both uniforms include a burgundy knit sweater with black trim on the cuffs and collar.

Physical Education Uniform: The physical education uniform consists of a red tracksuit jacket with white stripes on the sleeves and the school crest embroidered on the front, paired with black track pants with red stripes down the sides. Underneath, a white T-shirt with red details on the collar and sleeves is worn, along with all-white or all-black sneakers. For outdoor sports activities, there is also a summer version consisting of a red tracksuit shirt with the school crest, black shorts for boys and black shorts or leggings for girls, always paired with white athletic socks and sneakers.
