Malcolm Ducasse

Malcolm Ducasse is a friend of Jessica Jones and a junior at North Clinton High School.

Appearance
Born in Cleveland, moved to Hell's Kitchen, where his mom grew up, after their divorce in the 5th grade.

Personality
Malcolm Ducasse is an openingly kind and supportive individual who strives to aid those in their time of need. Because of his upbringing, he commonly volunteers and sheltered anyone that was desperate.

He is honest and likes honesty in his relationship; he doesn't like liars or cheaters. Fairplay and justice are important to him, as well, and he is very loyal to his friends and family.

Malcolm has a variety of interests, including sports, building things, and visiting the zoo. He loves animals, especially birds.

Background
Malcolm was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio but moved to Hell's Kitchen when his parents divorced. His mother is a New York native with family in "The Kitchen".

Life in Hell's Kitchen was rougher than life in Cleveland, but he got used to the new status quo.

Because of his mother, he became conscientious toward helping others. His mother said prayers in church for the sick and dying; his stepfather worked on community projects for the poor. These experiences helped to shape a person who desires to help others and abhorred selfishness.

He always tried to keep his head low and steer clear of the Prowlers and other local gangs, despite his cousin Carl's involvement. He's a good kid who doesn't get into trouble and tries to stick his neck out for people when he can.

Aaron Davis
The leader of the Prowlers, Davis is low on his list of people to see every day. He's familiar enough with him, considering his cousin is a part of the Prowlers. He tries to keep an open mind about people, but Aaron legitimately scares him a little. He's a rough guy who's threatened to beat the shit out of him on multiple occasions. He's grateful to have been spared, though he wonders for how long that'll last.

Jessica Jones
A relatively new person in Malcolm's life, he finds that he really actually kind of admires her. She's a hero in his book, and he does hope that they can maybe be friends.
