Though Ethan has a very boring attitude, he can be pretty assertive if necessary. He also wants a simple life, with a house and children living happily like any other normal family. He also must have a great way with kids as he is a teacher, though his teaching style is unknown.

History

Ethan and Erica met each other when they were performing Romeo and Juliet in drama class in their university years. They became friends soon after their performance and since then their friendship has never ended. Claire was in the class as well and was interested in Ethan, they went out a few times and started dating throughout college and a few years after that they got married. At the time Ethan didn't even think about becoming an Elementary school teacher, he rather thought about being a famous Hip-hop Superstar. Ethan spent most of his university years protesting, listening to hip-hop and rapping. What he did after university is unknown, he probably figured that his dream of becoming an Hip-hop Superstar wasn't going to happen, so he studied pedagogy and became a teacher.
