Red's a quirky boy who hasn't had much in the way of formal education - it just doesn't work whenever his parents try. Either he gets bullied too much for being short and mute or he just can't keep up academically. He's crashed and burned spectacularly several times now. They've given up on typical routes and have instead taken to hiring tutors to teach him, which goes much better. It's difficult to diagnose if he has any known neural abnormalities because he's mute and mostly illiterate, so he can't really answer questions.
He can read and write a little, but learning to communicate has been especially difficult and tends to frustrate him, since he can't just do it, like other people can. What does work well for him is exposure to animals: feeding them, taking care of them, playing with them, and so on.... Fortunately, his family owns and runs a small pet store and shelter. He's used to animals and connects to them much more easily than he does to humans. He's snuck down to sleep in the store or shelter many times. *
His home was destroyed by a fairly recent storm, and while his parents were able to work something out with a hotel, the place didn't have room for Red or animals for him to connect with. Instead, they rented an apartment for him in a building known to be full of cats. He's moved in with his tutor.
