Personality
(Credit to The Music Freaks Wiki for this section)

Jake is a person who, despite being quite confident, often submits to peer pressure and comments easily. He was willing to hide his favourite hobby for the sake of not being teased. It's implied that he was, at first, only friends with Drew, Liam and Henry for the sake of not being bullied and to help hide his emotions. He even went along with taunting Zander and Hailey for the sake of maintaining his social perception and friendship with his friends.

Although, he can be hurt easily by insults -- or, by contrast, very happy with compliments. Jake is also strong-willed and will go through with whatever he puts his mind to. He is very loyal to the people he trusts, and gets visibly concerned when they seem upset, analysing their emotions and previous conversations to try identify the root cause. As shown by his reactions, it's also implied he isn't used to compliments and simple or platonic affection.

He also seems to show quite a sarcastic demeanour, especially when with trusted friends. He often jokingly compliments himself as a joke attempt in conversations or to subtly add extra information. He is quite clearly an optimist and sometimes shows stints of confidence when he's alone, and when he's fully able to be himself, although he can also be a bit arrogant when it comes to him talking about his singing voice.

Jake also often participate in escapism. He has the tendency to get lost in fantasies and dreams, as it is implied he frequently dreams about becoming a singer and performing in front of a large audience. It is also implied he uses singing as a coping mechanism when he feels as if he has no one to speak to, of which he will try picture himself and assert his confidence through the song he is singing.

Appearance
Jake has light, pale skin, and honey blonde hair shaved at both sides with coral ombré tips. He has light brown, small eyes and maroon eyebrows. He also has two loop-shaped piercings on his ears and has a necklace with a white pendant.

He wears a dark maroon jacket over a white T-Shirt, with a black belt over ripped dark gray jeans, and gray boots.
