Personality: Mowgli is a lively young boy that would love nothing more than to be accepted by his peers or to make a few friends while at Yen Sid Academy. Since that's his primary goal, you could say that Mowgli is quite naive and trusting as well as honest. Mowgli is also quite stubborn and tends to be a little hardheaded in situations in which he thinks he knows best, but really doesn't in most cases since he's still young.
Where I Began

History:
Born in Mumbai, Mowgli's parents worked a computer company called Bell, while his mother, Messua worked at the local zoo. Mowgli would spend his time as a youngster going between both parents work wise so he could get a sense of what career he wanted. Secretly, the boy enjoyed watching the animals for hours on end which seemed a lot more fun than working on computers behind a desk all day long.
As time went on Darshan continued to get promotions in the company until his CEO asked him if he wanted to move and manage a company in America and of course, he said Yes. So he picked up his wife and 13 year old son, Mowgli,and moved to America and is now the President of the Bell Computer corporation in Rhode Island. Since Mowgli was in school, he certainly had to go a new one in his new country. Since the Tawari's now had more than enough money they decided to enroll him in the Yed Sid Academy, for it looked quite promising education wise.
One day they were out for a drive to meet with the faculty and got into an unfortunate accident with a semi truck which killed them instantly, thus leaving Mowgli an orphan. Now having no parents, the boy lives at the Academy trying to make his way around this strange new place just trying his best to survive.

Writing Sample:
This was it. The day he feared the most. "Ok...I can do this." the boy told himself as he clenched his fists, walked towards the Academy's doors and pushed them open. So far so good. "Vāha. . .(Wow)" he muttered to himself as a dumbfounded look appeared on his face. He thought the place was large enough from the brochures that his late parents had brought him. But this? This was enormous! With a gulp forming in his throat, Mowgli took the first few steps into this strange new world and, to be quite frank, he didn’t like it all that much. ”Everything is so big..and there’s lots of people here. Wonder if I can find everything OK.” he mused as he walked towards a desk labeled, “Reception”. Standing on the tip toes of his grey sneakers, dark chocolate brown eyes peered over at a large woman who apparently was having a converstion on the phone. ”E…excuse me?” he asked in broken english making his indian accent apparent as he spoke. Placing down the phone, the woman moved and leaned over the counter causing Mowgli to recoil a little bit. “Can I help you?” she asked. Now here was the tricky part. Mowgli had barely been in the United States a year, let alone a few months, and his english wasn’t very good at all. ”Umm..umm…*Jahāṁ kamarē haiṁ?” Nope, nothing but a blank stare in response. Taking a sigh he tried again, this time adding in arm movements to try and convey what he wanted. “Square…box!” the receptionist exclaimed as she wheeled over to her desk and came back with a lost lunchbox. “There ya go sweetie.” She smiled as she handed it to Mowgli. Oh this school year was certainly going to be interesting. Very interesting indeed.
