During his years in Highschool Link could have been regarded as popular amongst his peers, however unlike some of the other popular crowd Link has always retained his level head and remained humble despite his popularity.However, Link is easily swayed and influenced by his peers. He likes being liked and if that means acting out of character on occasion he has previously been known to comply with less than kind ploys against unfortunate victims of his ‘friends’ bullying.
Link, however, is a kind and well-meaning individual. He admires people who don’t feel the need to fit into the status quo in the same way he does and desires the confidence they have to break out of the confines of social norms.
He’s a romantic at heart and loyal to a fault with romantic partners. Meeting Kaitlin in his freshman year he committed to her and her alone until their breakup and even then never really moved on from their past together. He deeply regrets his cowardice in leaving her when she was still recovering and truly believes she could bring out the best in him; feeling much more liberated when he was with her and could really open up about who he really was away from his friends
Sexuality: Bisexual but deeply, deeply closeted
Family: John Grimes (father, strained bond), Cecelia Grimes (mother, very close bond), Sicily Grimes (younger sister, very close bond)
Relationships: Kaitlin Harris (ex-girlfriend), the two broke up after Kaitlin’s accident after being together from freshman year to graduation. After Kaitlin’s accident, Link found it difficult to continue their relationship with limited methods of communication due to her coma and non-verbality. Despite their breakup, Link has not dated another person since and currently is not seeking out a new relationship.
Lincoln ‘Link’ Grimes was born on March 2nd to John and Cecelia Grimes, who lived on the outskirts of Ravenwood on more agriculturally appropriate land, John being a typical low-scale animal and crop farmer. Lincoln was an only child for the majority of his life until he turned 17 and his parents gave birth to his little sister, Sicily. Link has always had a strained relationship with his emotionally distant father, mostly due to his deep rooted issues with his sexuality and his fathers inability to accept his son as anything more than a poster child for toxic masculinity.
During Link’s school years he got in with the wrong crowd, mostly popular meat-head’s with a one track mind for sport that he had met while being on the school’s football team. Lincoln, however, never felt like he fit in perfectly with them. He always felt like a crudely shoved in puzzle piece, however his popularity and affinity for sport impressed his father enough to keep him happy for some time and allowed Lincoln to avoid his fathers alcoholic rages — which gradually got worse over the years. Meeting Kaitlin in his freshman year was arguably the best case scenario for Link, he finally had someone he felt like himself around as well as a beacon of hope away from home — she gave him something to look forward to every day and he was hopelessly devoted to her from day one.
After Graduation and Kaitlin’s accident as well their breakup, Link withdrew from most of his old friend group and got stuck into his studies at university. He briefly moved away and lived on campus until his graduation with a degree in Animal science and a goal set to get into veterinary studies next. He moved back to Ravenwood after and started working full time as a farm hand, as well as passively learning sign language — just in case. His fathers alcoholism and tendency to take out his frustrations on his family has ultimately led to his family withdrawing from him for the most part aside from necessary familial interactions and work, Link assumed the role as man of the house since his father was usually passed out drunk or too inebriated to step up anyway.
