tristan has found a family

Forging metal, using tools, and creating objects from wrought iron or steel piques this future blacksmith’s Tristian interest. He is a talented video game player and states in his own words, “I’m a real gamer at heart.” Tristan’s caseworker notes that he is a very outgoing and happy young man who desires close connections with others. Furthermore, Tristan enjoys shuffling the pages of his Pokédex to learn or recall the cool facts of each type (there are 18, you know). If able to handpick his superpowers, Tristan would want to teleport or be able to make anything out of thin air. Ice cream and junk food are his favorite treats. He loves engaging in conversations with others and happily chats about his interests, including his desire for permanency. 

He is now in the eleventh grade.
