Name: Jayden Garcia

Nicknames: Jay, Lil Garcia

Gender: male

Age: 16

Nationality: American

Height: 5'5

Weight: 126lbs

Sexuality: gay

Personality: Jayden isn't flirty like his older sister is but does have a mouth on him. He will let people know if he doesn't like them at all, just able to sense their true intentions on and off the court. A very blunt person who will give it to you straight. He is very smart and knows basketball knowledge since watching his own sister play but he doesn't actually play the sport himself. He really isn't into physical activity but rather watches and analyzes it. His sister says he should give it a try but he always refuses to do so. When around his friends, he is pretty talkative and a little bubbly. When he is with people he doesn't know or doesn't seem like he can get along with, he can be a bit snippy and rude with them.

Likes: drawing, listening to music, watching and analyzing basketball, when he helps his sister teach Taiga and Tatsuya, hanging out with friends, going to basketball games, being the team manager of Yosen, eating snacks and sweets (him and Murasakibara become good friends since Jayden doesn't mind sharing his food with him; makes sure to get extra), when either Taiga or Tatsuya's team wins, taking a nap

Dislikes: when his sister randomly kisses people out of the blue, especially kissing Taiga and Tatsuya, physical activities, the whole fight between Taiga and Tatsuya, when they try to force him to play basketball, vegetables, getting embarrassed by his sister, players or people in general who rub him the wrong way

Fears: being rejected by his crushes, if Taiga and Tatsuya never fix their friendship, his sister finding out his sexuality and not wanting to have anything to do with him anymore, getting hit by the Yosen coach's sword (he doesn't cross her at all because of it and always act respectful towards her)

School: Yosen

Year: 1st year

Club: team manager for the Yosen basketball team

Appearance:

Background: Jayden was born and raised in America, having grown up around basketball his whole life because of his older sister. Even though he doesn't play the game, he enjoyed watching it and was really good at analyzing players, able to see their true potential. When he was watching his sister play street ball, that's when he meets both Taiga and Tatsuya. At first, he was somewhat rude to them since he didn't know them personally but over time, he starts to become the best of friends with them. Even starts to crush on them as well but he wouldn't let anyone know. Anytime his sister was helping them train, he was there with them and would help out in any way he could too. But when Taiga said that he was leaving to go to Japan, Jayden gets very upset with the other. He didn't want for him to leave at all. He knew that Tatsuya didn't take it lightly either, having heard that the two broke off their friendship. This broke his heart even more. The two couldn't ruin their friendship. So when he heard Tatsuya was also going to Japan, that's when he begged his sister if he could go too. He would stay with Tatsuya and go to the school he was going to. Tatsuya was ok with the idea and it took a while but Alex finally agreed to it. Jayden was determined to fix both Taiga and Tatsuya's friendship but also wanted to share his feelings with the both of them.

Crush(es): Taiga Kagami and Tatsuya Himuro
