Character Name: Gèrard Darius Bonnaire
Nicknames: Is sometimes known as Gèrrie when he is with those he is very close to.
Age: 43
Birthday: January 18, 1969
Occupation: Doctor
Gender: Male
Height: 6’2’’ ¾
AI: Jesse L. Martin
Personality : Gèrard wears his emotions on his sleeve. This makes him open and honest. It also makes him vulnerable. Gèrard makes friends easily and once you have made it into his circle of friends, you are likely never to leave. He is a very loyal man when it comes to friends and he keeps them easily, but when it comes to relationships, that changes. His job (and Gary Cooper) is his first love and would rather have late hours of work than a late night dinner. It's ironic that he chose to be a doctor in the germiest of places, being OCD. But his OCD and fear of germs rarely conflicts with his job.. However, this does make him a perfectionist, a good trait to have in any kind of medical field.
History: Gèrard was born to his American mother Endasia Bonnaire and French father Gèrald Bonnaire. His mother was a model who was struggling with a fashion career. When her Parisian friend Danielle invited her to live with her, she quickly took her up on her offer and moved to the fashion capitol of the world. Danielle invited her friend Gèrald over for dinner one night and introduced the two. Gèrald heard of Endasia’s struggling career and being a photographer for a local magazine quickly got her a job. After two years of working along side each other during Endasia’s new found fame, one of which they spent dating, Gèrald decided to propose and they married in haste.
Gèrard had a happy childhood. Although he grew up around the fashion industry, Gèrard could barely match his clothes and was lucky if his clothes fit. Not hitting his growth spurt until later in his teenage years, Gèrard was a skinny child with sticking out ears and who stayed short through out his days of primary school. His parents, though they loved their son very much found him a disappointment when he wasn't able to match colors to their name. Being a photographer and a fashion designer, this was very important to them. They would tell him red and he would pick up yellow. They would tell him pink and blue would be chosen. It continued like this until he was in his second year of secondary school when they were told by a doctor that Gèrard was color blind.
As much as his parents tried not to spoil him and his younger sister Adele, they often failed at this and gave into their every wish. Already dedicated to his studies, it wasn’t until his first year in secondary school (which he started early having skipped the sixth grade) when one of his choir teachers told him getting your way all the time can only get you so far. These words inspired him and he threw himself deeply into books and studying and he even dappled in sports. He found his niche on the field and in the music. After the guidance of his choir teacher, he had aspirations to become a voice teacher hiself. But when his friend was in a horrible sports-related accident, Gèrard switched his major in college from voice pedagogy to pre-med, amazed at the miracle the doctors performed on his friend during rehabilitation. His friend went from practically crippled to able to walk again. He realized he wanted to be able to do that, too. But when he took the classes, he didn't realize just how much work was involved. He almost switched back to music, but his newly healed friend and his sister kept him on the medicine track, insisting there was a reason for him to be there. Upon graduating from medical school, he landed himself a job at a local hospital. It wasn't at all like he imagined. He was an intern so he was filing papers and answering phones, and the constant rush of patients could be, at times, disorienting. But slowly and surely, he worked his way into the actual offices, being able to treat patients and often times helping to give them power of mobility again, just like his friend.
