Biography
Aaron is a 17 year black teenager and resident of Belladonna Cove. He is the younger child on Darrell and Beverly Johnson and the younger brother of the Claudia Johnson. He is a senior at Belladonna High School, where he endures a "hell away from home". He is an outcast, as he spends most of his time writing, listening to music and drawing rather than playing sports or doing more "manly" activities as do the other boys his age. He is constantly bullied by many of his neighbors and fellow classmates, notably Erin Richards, Alexandra Aimes, Ashton Reeves, Stephanie Moore and Terra Southerland. Despite having to face painful situations on a regular basis, he doesnt complain, and just keeps to himself. He is really good academically, getting straight As in all of his AP classes and he is active in his community. Though often an invisible victim to the cruel students of Belladonna High, he has a few friends such as Jennette Starcroft, Andi Jenkins, and Liam Van Dell, whom will later become his boyfriend and spark a new conflict the two try to avoid.

Personality
Aaron is an extremely reserved individual, which can be seen as a blessing and curse. He is very well-mannered and speaks in a professional and well-educated manner, avoiding slang or vulgar language often used by his affiliates. He rarely outwardly displays signs of negative emotions to anyone, even when put in a physically harmful situation. Though he displays these positive traits, it is these that make him a pushover to the public, especially to the popular crowd at BHS. Behind his tender, fragile facade exist a hopeless romantic, longing to be loved be someone other than his mother and sister. As this is a mirror trait (among many) existing in his love interest Liam, the two are instantly drawn to each other. After the two are in item, he begins to open up a bit more, something that will help better his situations at home and school.

Appearance
Aaron is an African-American teenager of average height, very slim build, but (as reminded by his tormentors) very plain appearance. He has small light brown eyes and short, curly black hair (stylized in the form of a short afro). Clothing-wise, he sports a long-sleeved white collared

Beverly Johnson:
Like many mother-and-son relationships, Aaron and Beverly share a special bond. Though she admits to loving her kids equally, she seems to favor her "baby" more and he is a victim to his father's cruel nature. She fights for her son and he has a deep respect and mother-to-child love for her. She does everything in her power to do what is right for him. Often times, she seeks refuge at the Van Dells' home to keep Aaron (as well as herself) away from Darrell wrath. After Aaron told her his "secret", she became a pro-gay activist along with her friend and neighbor, Elizabeth Van Dell, Aaron's friends, Jennette and Andi and local celebrities Tammy Stevens, Georgia Sawyer, MaryAnn Cellars, and Elizabeth Thatcher.

Darrell Johnson:
Darrell is responsible for making Aaron's life a living hell. Being an ex-military man, the fact that his son has the ability to do tasks outside the "manly" norm really frustrates him. In College-Bound, Aaron announced his plans to go to art school after high school, which really threw Darrell hatred for him to a whole new level. Since this revelation, Darrell's physical abuse has grown far worse that it does not only target Aaron, but is also affecting Beverly and their marriage. This violent behavior often requires Aaron (as well as Beverly) to retreat from their own home to the sanctuary of their friends, Elizabeth and Liam Van Dell.

Claudia Johnson:
Claudia is Aaron's older and probably the only "friend" he has ever had. She is a very strong, smart, beautiful girl, which is why their father, Darrell, favors her over Aaron. While Claudia was still living at home, up until her last day in the Johnson's houshold, she witness the horrifc abuse of her brother and, in turn, did what she could to prevent it. Though she could physically defend him, she often made herself look good and drives Darrell's attention to her so he will forget about his anger with Aaron. She cares for her brother and does what she can to protect him, despite them being relativally ineffective.

Liam Van Dell:
Liam is a fairly new resident to Belladonna Cove and a new student at Belladonna High School. Unlike the majority of the student body at BHS, Liam is rather engaged by Aaron's art knowledge and abilities and instantly wants to become friends with him. As time went by, the two became closer and close until one day, Aaron spent the night at Liam's house and the two revealed they had feelings for each other (and have had for a while). While the primary reason for Aaron's feelings stem from the friendship with Liam while Liam's stem from their shared passion for art. Despite the two's comeuppance, their love became so strong that nobody could break it.

Elizabeth Van Dell:
Being his mother's best friend, Aaron treats Elizabeth as if she is his aunt or "second mother". She acts as the voice of reason when Beverly isn't present. She also gives Aaron most of his advice on how to be more open and make more friends, which not only landed him to meet Jennette and Andi, but also led him to be more sure of himself and defend himself against his school bullies and his father.

Jennette Starcroft:
Jennette, like Aaron, is an outcast at BHS, She, however, stands up to her bullies and is not afraid to put her hands on them if she has to. She met Aaron when he was being rediculed at the nearby the beach
