Personality

Eugene's Profile

Eugene is described by his yearmate Bobby as a jock who is nearly always competitive.

He usually sports a broad smile and, although he seems to enjoy playing pranks on unsuspecting students such as Nicholas, he exhibits a sense of fair-play and is seen wishing a defeated opponent well after a match.

Eugene is also very persistent and hasn't given up his goal of making the fencing team despite not passing tryouts in the previous two years.

Fencing Skills

Eugene’s fencing strengths lie in observation and attack to foot. However, taking the blade is something he has problems with.

Coach Williams has Eugene down on her list of front-runners in the tryouts with the comment “Unpredictable”.

During the tryouts, Coach Williams sees him as the most improved fencer by far, emphasizing his incredible progress over the last 12 months, his outstanding athleticism and his great overall showing in her notes.

Trivia

• Eugene’s most treasured possession is his limited edition Adidas Asymmetrik sneakers
• His favorite food is arroz caldo (a Filipino soup made with chicken and rice in ginger-flavored broth; the name is an anglicisation of the Spanish caldo de arroz, literally "rice soup")
