Character Analysis

Name: Brandon Lee

Age: 21

Social Status: Upper Middle Class

Occupation: None. Lives of parent’s money

Personality: “We only live once. So why not have as much fun as we can while we’re alive?” This is my motto in life. I don’t like to get tied down to anything I do, so you can say that I have some commitment problems. This is also one of the reasons why I have a long history of ex-girlfriends. I don’t know how many exactly. I lost count in between steady relationships and one-night stands. However, I am not ashamed of this. I don’t see them as failed relationships but rather as conquests that I have made. I am also extremely self-confident. So I do not care about what other people say about me. I am also narcissistic, so I have to make sure I always give the best first impression to anyone. Image is everything to me. At the same time, I am also a determined person. When I set my sights on something, I won’t stop at anything until I obtain it. This is shown by how despite Michelle being my girlfriend already, I still managed to get her sister, Chantelle, to fall in love with me as well. Wow, I’m the best!

Relationship with my family: I actually come from a quite well-to-do family. My father is a real estate tycoon and my mother is a regular tai-tai. However, I do not have a good relationship with my father as I felt that he controlled me too much. That was why the moment I turned 21, I moved out into my own apartment. My father has thus practically disowned me. But, money is not a problem as my mother still gives me money without my father’s knowing. Call me a mummy’s boy but whatever! I have money and you don’t! I occasionally keep in touch with my mother to report my well-being, but otherwise, I hardly see my family anymore.

Relationship with Michelle: I met her through David. I thought she was pretty good looking and had a nice personality, so I made my move and got together with her. I know that she loves me a lot, but I think she can be a bit over-possessive at times. The relationship was fun at first, but now there is no spark anymore. I’m only still with her because I stupidly got her pregnant. I knew I should have used a condom! I think she’s a nice girl but she’s too clingy for my tastes. I need a girl who knows how to give me space. My commitment problem shows itself.

Relationship with Chantelle: I met her when I went to Michelle’s house. Straightaway, I could feel the chemistry between us. We still got together even though she already knew Michelle was my girlfriend. I think I prefer her over Michelle because she’s not as clingy as her sister and she makes a very good trophy girlfriend. I find it surprising that even though she knows I got her sister pregnant, she still is willing to stay with me. Maybe we’re both just making use of each other.

Relationship with David: Acquaintance. We both are in a group of friends that meet up to play basketball. I don’t like him very much as I know he has feelings for Michelle. I also think he is a coward because he’s only all talk and no action. After so many years, he still hasn’t confessed to Michelle.

History: Being the only child in my family, I have been pampered since young. However, the strict teachings of my father have made me rebellious. The reason why I see all girls as conquests is because in my very first relationship, my girlfriend cheated on me and then dumped me. I still the remember the hurt that I felt to this very day. So, I feel that it doesn’t pay to be the nice guy. So maybe the attitude that I have developed is my attempt at having revenge. I feel that only I am the only one who can end a relationship, that I have the final say. I question the existence of true love.

Goal in life: To have as much fun as possible!
