Dexter Chandra

Dexter Basistha Chandra (February 20th, 1997) is currently a fifth year student at North Hollow Academy. He's a member of the Order of the Sphinx.

Early Life
Dexter Chandra was born in Seattle, Washington, to Daniel and Ramita Chandra. Daniel is a pulp fiction writer under the alias Dan Cypher. Ramita is a doctor. The pair are still married, and still arguing near-daily, but very much in love and getting it on frequently enough that Dex also has a younger brother, Jay.

Never particularly popular as a child, Dex had a great deal of difficulty making friends in school. He spend far more time on computers and consoles than he did around anyone his own age, and that very much informed his social development.

Surprisingly, not in a bad way.

He began to make friends who shared common interests, who actually seemed to think he was pretty cool. For the first time in his life, he actually felt like he belonged somewhere, and that gave him some actual confidence to go out and be social in his everyday life.

North Hollow Academy
In most respects, the only way Dex has been remarkable since coming to North Hollow is in how incredibly unremarkable he's been. He's never really been unpopular, but he'll also never be the guy who wins on homecoming court.

The only place he ever really stood out was in the classroom. From the very beginning, his GPA was among the top in his class. He's in the top percentile of his class, and he's never had any lates or absences in the nearly five years he's been at North Hollow.
