Sprout OC - Xavier

Xavier Fernando Lepe is Nina's 9-going-on-10-year-old nephew who is kind, caring, and willing to learn and try new things, but he always takes his time, being slower than his friends and all. He is also really smart and grown-up even for a 9-year-old. He is in a wheelchair because he lost his legs in an accident when he was just four years old - his dad's legs survived - but his didn't. He loves it when he visits his aunt because he's excited to meet and spend some time with her and her friends. His favorite show is Kari & Friends, and he has stuffed animals and plush puppets of the puppet/mascot characters and almost all the VHS tapes and DVDs of the show - his favorite character is Shakespeare the Snail, and he brings his doll of him almost everywhere.
