I am extremely interested in hearing about my favorite shit head Maurice Cole.
YOUR FAVORITE SHITHEAD AND MINE. :D
Ahem. Welp. Maurice is one of my favorites to talk about, tbh. We know heās the youngest in his family, but we donāt know how many siblings heās got. So, my headcanon is that heās got twelve older brothers. Heās the youngest of thirteen children, making him the baby, and you can bet everyone refers to him as āthe babyā despite the fact that heās like eighteen years old. Naturally, his mother, Clara, coddles him quite a bit because heās her youngest child. She loves him and her other sons very much, but she rarely ever says no to Maurice. Honestly, she kind of wants him to stay with her for as long as he can, so, sheās reluctant for him to grow up. That maaaybe explains why, even though heās smart and cunning, heās also prone to using those skills in an immature and inappropriate manner. Heās learned that if he pouts, his mother tends to just give in, so heās become pretty manipulative.
His father, on the other hand... is an abusive bureaucrat who only really cares about his oldest son since heās the one whoās being trained to take over the family business. He couldnāt care less about Maurice, and honestly, Maurice has known that since he was pretty young. Thatās why he seeks approval from people like his brothers and Edgar. His father still expects a lot out of Maurice, though, which is part of the reason that Maurice gets other people to do his work -- he knows that the grades he could get on his own are average and wouldnāt please his father. Mr. Cole rarely involves his sons in physical abuse, but doesnāt hold back in abusing them verbally, and quite a bit in his childhood, Maurice saw his father beating on his mother. Itās messed him up a lot; itās pretty bad, mainly because Maurice has just been emulating his fatherās behavior by acting polite and kind to the people who āmatterā, then turning around and bullying those who are weaker than him.
Once Mauriceās father finds out that Maurice has lost his status as Prefectās Fag, it... is really not going to be a good day in the Cole household, and Maurice is probably going to need makeup to cover more than his average features.
