Personality: Diego has a strong tendency to seek attention and often gets irritable or fussy when people aren't focused, even remotely on him. He's loud and rambunctious, usually annoyingly so to those around him. He's prone to throwing temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way or when he gets told off, and most of his teachers cast him off as another class clown with ADHD. Despite this, he's actually rather smart, and is extremely talented when it comes to geography, science and mathematics, with one teacher noticing that he gets all of the working out correct on his tests but only makes a mistake with the answer. On his own and away from his usual friends and teachers he tends to present himself as a lot more sociable and caring, but will quickly revert back to his annoying habits if he sees people whom he thinks have expectations of him.

History: Diego grew up in a single-parent household after his father left his mother alone after a one night stand. He found himself spending a lot of time with his elderly neighbour, Mrs. Kwon while his mother worked tirelessly between her three minimum wage jobs, trying to keep shelter over their heads. While at Mrs. Kwon's house he would ask her tireless amounts of questions and was always curious about the world, but unfortunately for him, Mrs. Kwon spoke in broken English and while he understood her perfectly, this led to him having difficulty grasping proper English when he eventually went to school. When he was seven, he and his mother were evicted from their house and moved to Blackwood Mountain into a smaller apartment, where he had a bedroom and his mother slept on a sofa-bed in the living room.

The more time he spent in school, the more he hated how his teachers didn't have enough time to dedicate solely to him as Mrs. Kwon had. He started acting out, trying to get them to pay more attention, only to find himself repeatedly thrown out of classes and placed into detention where his curious mind was left to dull and wither. While there he befriended more deviants who frequently acted out, which only led to him acting up even more to gain their approval and also because they encouraged him. His mother made it clear to him that she was only working this hard so that he could have a better future than he did, and so Diego invested his time into getting a job in secret, so that he could surprise her for her fortieth birthday, which he did by saving up enough to buy her a car, which she then taught him to drive.
