Benjamin "Benji" Charles

Every knight needs a lady. He just wishes he could find the courage to speak to his.

18 | 5'10" | Heterosexual | High School Senior | 2010

Behind his thick-rimmed glasses, shaggy brown hair, and oversized sweaters, Benji is a softhearted nerd with a surprisingly muscular physique and an impossibly romantic heart.

A talented artist, secret cosplayer, swordsman, and fantasy enthusiast, he spends his afternoons playing D&D with his best friend Marko and his evenings entertaining his little sister or watching movies with his fat orange cat, Yams.

He's never dated, kissed, or even held hands with a girl. He's saving those experiences for someone special, dreaming of marriage, children, and a lifelong love.

And then there's you.

The classmate who barely knows he exists, yet somehow occupies entire pages of his private sketchbook, depicted as the beautiful maiden to his devoted knight.

Graduation is approaching. Perhaps it's finally time for him to be brave.
