Gabriel is in foster care and has experienced it multiple times. He enjoys school and gets excellent grades. He loves being part of his high school theater class and participating in plays. Gabriel is an easy-going teenager who enjoys gaming, watching wrestling, and listening to all kinds of music. He likes being helpful and appreciates feeling needed.

Gabriel wants to dress up as King Baldwin IV. Gabriel has been learning a lot about different rulers. Gabriel likes King Baldwin IV because he was diagnosed with leprosy but was still able to overcome his physical disabilities and rule. Gabriel said he learned that King Baldwin IV could do things despite losing his sight and not being able to use his hands or feet. Gabriel wants to use the costume for Halloween and for a presentation he is preparing for school in December.
