Montie

Bio: Montie, 23, is a senior Animation major at UCUM, with a slim, defined build that contrasts sharply with his deep-seated insecurities. Standing at 5’6”, he is light-skinned and physically fit, but his self-perception is warped by years of comparison to his hyper-masculine identical twin brother. Montie’s sexuality is heterosexual, though his obsession with penis size and masculinity reveals a fragile sense of self-worth. Raised in a religious household in Chicago, he was taught to suppress his desires and emotions, leaving him with a volatile mix of guilt, envy, and repressed anger. His personality is a paradox: quiet and introspective in some moments, explosively judgmental in others, especially when his insecurities are triggered.
Teaser Arc: Montie’s arc is a battle between who he is and who he thinks he should be. His animation project for Collab Week becomes a canvas for his inner turmoil, as he struggles to reconcile his creative ambitions with the expectations of his family and society. As he navigates his complicated feelings about masculinity, sexuality, and his own body, Montie will be forced to confront whether his anger and judgment are shields or prisons—and whether he can ever break free from the shadows of comparison and guilt.
