"So, Native American but not proud of it. Haircuts are typically not short in the Native American Culture. Unconfident but not necessarily unsmart, based on the way you slouch; yet your heads positioning still carries some dignity. Very often abused, but not by your parents. The scars and bruise marks are too small to have come from a full grown hand. Your knuckles show no signs of use in fighting, so your parents are disconnected from that part of your life. Thus we can also derive that your father is probably a substance user, my guess is alcoholic, since there is no way a sober father, especially an Indian one from the way you describe them, would let their only son get beaten and not show them how to fight back. You have a bag of books though, so your mother is educated. No, wanted to be educated but was too poor to ever have been able to afford it, which is why you're still here, on this reservation. There is also a slight scent coming from you, rather feminine, which means you have often been in close contact with a girl. You have a girlfriend, and she's white, since everyone on the reservation either can't afford perfume or wouldn't wear it anyway. So you go to school at a white school. How else would you have met a white girl? The school is far, based on the tan lines your glasses left on your face from the days that you walked to and from there. You also play basketball, since the soles of your feet are rubber, and the distance that you walk merits buying tennis shoes. However, quite clearly you can only afford one pair of shoes, so the fact that you chose rubber soles is very telling. You're also malnourished, since the exercise you do clearly isn't translating to muscle. From the restaurants I saw on my drive here, you eat a lot of Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds. You have a stutter, lisp, and uneven eyes, so you probably suffered some kind of traumatic brain damage when you were a child."
