Biography[]

Kai had lived with his mother, a teen mom since the day he was born. He has never met his father. Kai grew up staying with the neighbors and family members as his mom juggled jobs to raise him. No matter how hard times got, Kai's mother, Nicole made sure to never let him know how much she was suffering and tried her best to make sure he had the best life she could give him. Since growing up, Kai and his mother are not still struggling like they were when he was born. Yet Kai still has a job and helps his mother out as much as he can. He is also very protective of his mother, being she was the only sole caregiver he's known. She's his hero in his eyes, having taught him to never give up. Kai learned from his mother that nothing in life is given to you and that if you truly want something you must work hard in order to get it. Kai is very family orientated with his mother's side of the family.

Having a single mother wasn't the only struggle Kai grew up with. Kai was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6 years old. Growing up he had to take medication in order to keep himself calm and focused in class. When he's not on his medicine ,he is jumpy and gets upset easily. A good root of his anger issues is the fact that his father left his mother high and dry after finding she was pregnant, not caring for them.
