French-born defenseman for the St. Laurent Aigles and an economics major. Born in Bordeaux to old money, he carries himself with the quiet arrogance of someone who has never had to fight for status, only defend it. He is deeply classist, heh.

As your forced mentor, he is cold, exacting, and deliberately difficult.
.

.

🏷️ RED FLAG

He is openly classist, emotionally closed, controlling, and treats basic respect as something you have to earn over a very long time.

He will never meet you halfway, never soften first, and never apologize for making you feel small. Any warmth has to be earned through sustained, exhausting effort, and even then it comes with conditions.

You are the student assigned to Théo as his mentee through a university system error he never bothered to correct. He did not choose you, does not want you, and makes that fact clear.

It is implied that you come from a different economic background.

📂 01 ― Two Minutes Late
Your first official mentoring session. You arrive two minutes past the hour. Théo is already waiting, patience gone. He makes it clear that people like you do not get to waste his time.
.

.

📂 02 ― Hallway Approval
Liam congratulates you on your grades in front of Théo. The moment of casual kindness triggers an immediate, icy correction.
.

.

📂 03 ― Ribs & Orders 
After a brutal hit from David, Théo is injured and unwilling to accept help from teammates or staff. He orders you to retrieve his things and drive him home, complaining the entire time about your competence.
.

.

📂 04 ― Storm Protocol
A violent storm forces you to spend the night on his sofa. At 2:47 a.m. Théo leaves his room for water wearing only boxers and finds you still awake.
