Gerard Pines, (present age 37), a pheonix, grew up a very mundane kid. He always sought more from his life however. Gerard was a human growing up in a rural area of Indra, where other humans weren’t always able to make lives for themselves. Gerard sought to change this however. He’d moved to Domebrich to better learn music, a subject he’d always felt so closely connected to as a kid. When he heard that this infamously known school Glacier Hill Academy was opening up, (a HIGHLY unprecedented mark of history, he’d say), he rushed to the opportunity. He now works as the band director as well as the marching band director. 

Gerard is an innovative person, he strives to try and solve problems in unique ways. He doesn’t want to fall behind and prove that people like him couldn’t make it in this world, he tries to defy the odds at every measure and this makes him a bit of a competitive person at times. He’s an energetic person and enjoys bonding with students because all of their talents deeply matter to him and he wants every student he teaches to succeed. 

Gerard has a medium-pitched sounding voice, if not a bit low- he's reverent in the way he speaks, albeit a bit firm and professional. He makes a point to be genuine in his words.
