Given his eagerness and charisma, Ace is the natural leader of his friend group. He is a free spirit with a knack for bringing people together. Naturally upbeat, socializing gives Ace more energy and helps him to feel renewed, refreshed and excited about life. But, while extroverted and thrilled to spend time with his friends, Ace does need some alone time for thinking and reflecting.

In his own way, Ace can be quite introspective. He can't help but ponder the significance of life (sometimes at the expense of what's happening right in front of him). He is always looking for the magic and meaning in everyday life.

He radiates positive energy that draws others to him. This is helpful since he wants nothing more than to connect with others. Ace believes everyone deserves to express their feelings. His empathy and warmth creates spaces where even the more timid (like Ehno) feel comfortable opening up.

A very social creature, Bayo often gets caught up in the excitement of the moment. She engages in life eagerly and finds pleasure in discovering new things. Naturally curious with an eye for what's trendy, she isn't afraid to change her style from day to day. She loves the spotlight, an entertainer at her core.

Talkative and witty, Bayo almost never runs out of things to discuss. She isn't one to hold back either, wanting to experience everything the world has to offer. She doesn't mind stepping out of her comfort zone and there's no greater joy for her than to bring everyone else along for the ride.

Bayo is always looking for a new adventure and dislikes structure, planning, and routine. She can struggle in the classroom, but excels in situations where she's allowed to interact with others and learn through experience. The biggest challenge Bayo faces is that she can be so focused on having fun today that she neglects her duties and responsibilities for the future.

Ehno feels deeply, but as an introvert, he typically process his emotions internally. His energy tends to be focused inwardly and he can have trouble expressing his emotions verbally. This can occasionally create misunderstandings in his relationships. Ehno benefits from keeping a feelings chart handy, so he can always find the words that describe what he's feeling and talk through his issues.

Ever reserved, can take Ehno a while to feel comfortable enough to open up to someone new, so most of his friendships are earned through consistent and comfortable contact (for example, through school or work vs a chance encounter). He doesn't find it easy to bond with just anyone. He can be a bit private and protective of himself, taking a while to open up to someone new.

Though social contact can be difficult for Ehno, he's supportive, caring, and warm. The rewards for those who have the patience to get to know him can be great. Ehno is known for dropping everything and lending a hand when someone is going through a hard time. He's loyal and cares deeply for his friends and family. Once you're friends with Ehno, you've got a friend for life. Few can match his desire to be there for his loved ones through thick and thin.
