PERSONALITY
Dislikes: Fame chasers, liars, heights, anything "too loud".
General personality: Percy is a gentle soul, quite introverted, and shy until he really connects with someone. He would rather talk about music or cats rather than himself. Actually, he will almost always divert back to music or cats to avoid talking about himself. Percy loves to laugh but is often afraid that his jokes are terrible. He loves puns but will never admit it.
His hobbies include riding his bike (with a cat in the basket) and dancing, mostly ballroom and ballet.
Percy has no intention of hiding that he is a hopeless romantic, but he's spent too long writing about it and not enough time actually falling in love.
Being very comfortable with his sexuality and being raised with three sisters, Percy is very well in touch with his feminine side. Being a guy that's into things like violin and dance, he's often mistaken for being gay. He's not and he doesn't care who thinks so.
Percy also hates the idea of being famous. He doesn't like his picture being taken, and he'd rather be home watching Netflix with his cats than on a red carpet. People like Percy because he's down to earth and he tries not to judge a book by it's cover, as long as the cover isn't clearly fake.

HISTORY
Family Members: Percy has 2 older sisters and a younger one. His entire family is made of musicians. Percy's mom was a well known pianist back in the day. His dad is a producer at small but popular record label.
He's very close to his sisters, helping them with their music and of course being their go to violin guest. His eldest sister Roxanne is a guitarist for national tours and is married to an entertainment lawyer. His middle older sister Bria is an up and coming solo artist, ("a shoe in for a new artist grammy" according to his parents) and his younger sister Lark is Bria's drummer and in college for music production. Percy feels like the odd one out since he doesn't actually want fame.
Percy's mom is from Sydney Australia and his dad is from Nashville, TN. That means Percy has a neutral American accent (he was really adamant about that with himself) and says "mate" and "ya'll"
General History:
Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Percy was raised in a family where music was the family business. Percy's dad Callum founded his record label 35 years ago before marrying pianist Toni Anderson. They were artists that made money more than fame, though recently they've been wanting to change that. Even though they were raised with money, Percy and his siblings weren't brats, but they were strangers to struggle. He always knew he could grow up and go to any school he wanted and his parents would pay for it. He got a car on his 16th birthday, and the best violin lessons money could buy. [/ul]After Percy dropped out of Berklee he went to Italy for an artist residency. He can speak Italian at a conversational level. He came back when I was 23 claiming he would go back to Berklee, but he never did.
Percy's grandparents passed away, leaving him a home in San Diego where he now lives with his 7 cats. He started with 5, but two came with the house.
The West family has always wanted to be a one stop shop for music production, but Percy wants to stay in behind the scenes. He's hoping that falling in love will help him separate from the dreams his parents want for his family and maybe he can have a life outside of his work.
Soon after, he started working closely with his sister Lark. Percy and Lark started production tracks for artists in LA and of course their sister Bria.
ROMANCE
What brought you to this experience? I realized all the stuff I write about love comes from other people's experiences. I want my own and this way people can like me for me, not because they want to go be a singer one day or because they're fans of my sisters. Also my family really wants me on this show, they think I'll get more comfortable on camera or something.
What are you most looking for in a spouse? Someone to come home to, and stay home with. I want to connect with someone on a level where we can live our best life without the flashy things and do everything we love. Also, dancing in the kitchen is more fun with two.
What are your relationship pet peeves? Fame chasers, people have dated me thinking that's how they get a record deal before. I want them to like me for me, not who my family is. I hate people who are superficial like that.
Romantic History:
Percy has dated several women before, but none really connected with him. He feels like a lot of them were just after his money or his connections, and he's not even really rich or famous. He's never had a relationship that's lasted more than 6 months before and has only slept with 2 women. He considers both of those incidences mistakes because he didn't actually like them that much.
