Personality[]

These fantasies are exacerbated by his conservative family who do not support his sexual orientation as enthusiastically as he would like, prompting Dean to describe his parents as monsters, exaggerating their behaviour. Dean is boisterous and often disrespects boundaries, barging into rooms without first knocking, heedless of others' privacy. Despite his insecurity, Dean is sexually active and would like to be like his friend Freddie.
